Essential mineral elements in roe deer: Associations with parasites and immune phenotypes in two contrasting populations

Abstract Low levels of essential mineral elements such as cobalt, copper, and iron, in organisms reduce immune function, increasing the chances of parasitic infection. This phenomenon has been demonstrated widely in domestic animals but rarely in wildlife. In this study, we used data from 7‐ to 9‐mo...
