The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Acute phase responses of passerine birds: characterization and seasonal variation (2007, background): “inflammatory diseases and other autoimmunological disorders (Råberg et al. 1998; Graham et al. 2005).”
Diversity and dialogue in immunity to helminths (2011, background): “These costs include not only the energy resources of the immune response itself but also the damage associated with attempting to contain large, often migrating parasite”
Virulence evolution and the trade‐off hypothesis: history, current state of affairs and the future (2009, background): “Indeed, it has become increasingly clear that at least part of what we loosely call ‘virulence’ may actually be caused by the immune system of the host itself (a phenomenon called ‘immunopathology’, Graham et al., 2005 ).”
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “This shows that even successful immune responses may be too costly for a host to survive (47) and that the burden of infection may not always be driving mortality (but see Reference 55 for evidence of thresholds of infection associated with mortality in adult frogs).”
Decomposing health: tolerance and resistance to parasites in animals (2009, background): “B (2009) tissue ( Graham et al. 2005a ). If the extent of such immunopathology for a given parasite burden varies among host genotypes, this could result in variation in tolerance.”
