Research summary
AI-generated

Samuel P. Slowinski studies how diseases and parasites interact with their hosts in natural settings, particularly in wild plants. The research examines questions such as why younger organisms are often more susceptible to infection, how temperature affects the spread of fungal plant pathogens, and how parasites shape the evolution of their hosts. Additional work touches on the gut microbiome and insect feeding behavior related to disease transmission.
