The phrase "a specific host in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a particular host within a certain context, such as in networking, computing, or biological discussions.
Example: "The application requires a specific host in the network to function properly."
Alternatives: "a particular host in" or "an individual host in".
Analyses of the genomes of bacterial pathogens provide evidence that three key processes, the acquisition of mobile genetic elements, genome rearrangements and gene loss in the process of adapting to a specific host, result in substantial changes in the genomes of pathogens (see [ 69] for a recent review).
Traditional means for determining mosquito host-preferences in the field are to estimate the proportion of blood meals on certain hosts [1] or, more specifically, to calculate a feeding index, where the proportion of blood meals acquired from a specific host is assessed in relation to the abundance of that host within the community of potential hosts [2], [3].
Although the molecular basis of host-range restrictions is not completely defined, the compatibility between the HA protein of the virus and its corresponding receptor, sialic acid, on the host cell is thought to contribute in part to the infection of the virus in a specific host [31], [32].
These data show that flagellar motility plays a role in inducing a specific host immune response that is independent of its later role in migration into the light-organ crypts (Brennan et al., 2013), suggesting that biosynthesis of the flagellum, and its subsequent functions, may mediate multiple aspects of symbiotic initiation.
This genetic algorithm based optimization process searches for optimal zigzag designs which are properly tuned to suppress vibrations when inserted in a specific host structure (cantilever beam).
Although the size, nucleotide composition, and available copy number of plasmids depend on growth conditions and hosts, plasmids maintain a finite copy number per cell under specific growth conditions in a specific host.
Elucidating such questions requires investigating not just presence or absence of infection in a specific host, but also prevalence over space and time.
The up-regulated pathway of serine utilization may enhance the overall ability of IA3902 to infect an animal host, but whether the preferential utilizations of certain amino acids would benefit the growth of C. jejuni in a specific host tissue (such as placenta) is unknown.
V. albo- atrum has in addition a specific host adaptation to lucerne and other leguminoses or to hops from the cannabaceae family (Pegg and Brady 2002; Agrios 2005; Vallad et al. 2005; Klosterman et al. 2009).
