Predictors of the intensity of infection as approximated by parasitemia. (A) The relation between body condition and parasitemia differs between age classes. Circles and continuous trend line: adults; triangles and dashed trend line: subadults. (B) Parasitemia changes through the season and interacts with body condition. Continuous trend line and circles: bats with mean body condition; dashed trend line and up-facing triangles: bats in high body condition (>mean +0.5 s.d.); dotted trend lines and down-facing triangles: bats in low body condition (<mean - 0.5 s.d.).
