Who among us has not heard the phrase, all good things come at a cost. Luckily, the cost/benefit scenarios that we face day to day are generally minor (extra piece of cake or a slim figure) compared with having to choose between the opportunity to have children and disease immunity.

The authors demonstrate a trade-off between fertility and pathogen defense, depending on levels of expression of the xa13 gene.
