(A) Basal metabolic rate (BMR), (B) cold-induced maximal metabolic rate (MRmax), (C) metabolic scope, (D) mean change in body temperature during 15 min of cold exposure (error bars are 1 s.d.; numbers below bars are sample sizes) and (E) residuals in body temperature change versus residuals in MRmax. Symbols are for control (filled circles) and infected (open circles) mice.
