However, how disease tolerance affects host transmission potential is not well understood, especially because there are many potential mechanisms that facilitate host tolerance. For example, tissue\u2010specific host tolerance leads to the reduction of host pathology, regardless of pathogen load. Hosts may also exhibit behavioral tolerance, where normal behaviors are maintained even while harboring high pathogen loads. Here, we examined the impacts that tissue\u2010specific and behavioral tolerance have on transmission in house finches (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Haemorhous mexicanus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ) infected with a common and highly transmissible bacterial pathogen,\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Mycoplasma gallisepticum<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    (MG). MG causes conjunctivitis in house finches and severely reduces population numbers after it arrives in a new area. Wild house finch populations differ in tissue\u2010specific tolerance to MG and here we assessed how this variation in tolerance influences transmission success. We inoculated wild\u2010captured, MG\u2010na\u00efve individuals from two populations that are on the extremes of tissue\u2010specific tolerance to MG and determined the likelihood of these \u201cindex\u201d individuals transmitting MG to an uninfected, susceptible cagemate. Higher tissue\u2010specific tolerance results in reduced conjunctivitis, which is associated with decreased deposition and spread of MG. Thus, we predicted that individuals with high tissue\u2010specific tolerance would be less likely to transmit MG. In contrast, we predicted that behavioral tolerance would be linked to higher transmission, as more tolerant individuals spent more time on a feeder shared with a susceptible individual despite high pathogen loads. In agreement with our prediction, individuals with high tissue\u2010specific tolerance were less likely to transmit MG. However, there was no effect of behavioral tolerance on the likelihood of MG transmission. Our results highlight that it is key to consider how different mechanisms of tolerance affect transmission and, therefore, host\u2010pathogen coevolution and epidemic dynamics.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.70882","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,13]],"date-time":"2025-03-13T03:00:01Z","timestamp":1741834801000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Host Disease Tolerance Predicts Transmission Probability for a Songbird Pathogen"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6288-5575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amberleigh E.","family":"Henschen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Memphis  Memphis Tennessee USA"},{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Eastern Illinois University  Charleston IL USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9439-1895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francis E.","family":"Tillman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Memphis  Memphis Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah Coleman","family":"Ruston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Memphis  Memphis Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dana M.","family":"Hawley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5577-8798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James S.","family":"Adelman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Memphis  Memphis Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rsbl.2013.0594"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yhbeh.2016.10.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/670024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jav.01058"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2015.1429"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","unstructured":"Ashley N.
