Example: "The military strategists proposed an alternative invasion that would minimize civilian casualties and maximize efficiency."
Alternatives: "substitute incursion" or "different assault".
The residual invasion displayed by the double KO-AMA1/KO-AMA2 mutant prompted us to search for additional alternative invasion pathways and specifically to investigate the possible contribution of the second RON2 homologue, RON2L1 (TGME49_294400).
An alternative invasion scenario can be envisioned: L. leucozonium could have been introduced to NA via a larger population which experienced a lag period of no population growth, increasing the effects of drift, followed by subsequent growth and spread.
Our initial studies of field isolates from Mato Grosso, Brazil have revealed that these parasites differ from common laboratory strains, and mostly utilized GPA-independent invasion pathways – the so-called alternative invasion pathways via receptors such as GPB, Receptor Y, Receptor Z and/or others [2].
Furthermore, infection of Duffy-negative patients in Madagascar suggests that this parasite is evolving to exploit alternative invasion pathways, posing new threats to previously resistant human populations [ 4].
Despite the strong preference of P. vivax for reticulocytes, there is still a relatively poor understanding of why P. vivax is unable to invade normocytes or of the potential role of alternative invasion pathways in disease severity.
In the pathogenesis of the malaria parasite, P. falciparum merozoites invade the erythrocytes through multiple ligand-receptor interactions [ 1- 4] providing an opportunity for using alternative invasion pathways if one has been blocked [ 5].
There was no White House debate about whether the bomb should be dropped, no singular decision to use it, no suggestion that it was an alternative to invasion.
He also urged without success the transference of the major theatre of war to the Mediterranean as an alternative to invasions of Great Britain and the Soviet Union, strategies he considered ill-advised.

He has indicated in his public statements and one brief interview this year with an Italian newspaper that martial law was imposed in 1981 as the only alternative to an invasion by Soviet and other Warsaw Pact troops.
This work has been aimed at identifying the PfRh1 protein binding regions (residues 1 2580) belonging to the reticulocyte binding-like (RBL or P. falciparum Rh [PfRh]) family implicated in the parasite's alternative target cell invasion routes.
