How does fever work?
Our new Science paper shows how elevated body temperature can protect against severe influenza and that avian-origin viruses escape this defence.
This is likely one reason why bird flus and some pandemic influenzas can be so severe.🧵

Common and Oriental cuckoos sneak their eggs into other birds’ nests.
Common cuckoos parasitize over 100 host species, fueling an evolutionary arms race: hosts are under pressure to detect foreign eggs, while cuckoos refine their mimicry to escape detection. 2/6
