Abstract
⺠We associated hepatic immune gene expression in relation to individual parasite burden in wild yellow-necked mice. ⺠We found a diminished MHC class II expression in animals infected with trichostrongyle nematodes. ⺠This systemic immunesuppression did not favour bystander infections. ⺠On the contrary we found negative associations between nematode and cestode infections.
