Abstract
⺠The immune effectors involved in the resistance to avian malaria are not well known. ⺠We suppress the production of NO in canaries infected with Plasmodium relictum. ⺠Birds NO-inhibited show a higher parasitaemia, but not pay a higher cost of infection. ⺠NO contributes to the resistance to avian malaria. ⺠Parasitaemia and cost of infection can be decoupled.
