On the evolutionary ecology of specific immune defence
... The most extreme case of a nonspecific defence would be one that is effective against all parasites within a range of interest and, thus, would only depend on host type or host condition (Box 1). Although such a case might never be realized, there are several phenomena close enough to this definitio ...
