The Daphnia clone used in the experiments is the original host for the parasite and because of high transmissibility and the equal susceptibility of the hosts, prevalence within a homogeneously mixed population can be expected to reach 100%.
One could speculate that, all other factors being equal, susceptibility to BSE might be reduced with a lowered expression of endogenous prion protein.
These cells are amenable to treatment with siRNAs [37] and have equal susceptibility to HIV-1 infection as compared to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) [36], [46].
Its equal susceptibility to folate changes prevents its use to distinguish between cobalamin and folate deficiencies in epidemiologic surveys such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Demonstrating high adenoviral transduction efficiency in a variety of human colon cancer cell lines [ 45], the question remained whether native human cancer tissue shows equal susceptibility towards adenoviral infection.
Thus, the Peto paradox (the more or less equal susceptibility to cancer of animals strikingly differing in mass and life span) is the evidence of species-specific adaptation of cell transformation resistance.
22 The estimated rate of APC new mutations is between 4 and 9×10 mutations/gametes/generation, 23 and equal susceptibility for mutagenesis during spermatogenesis and oogenesis has been described.
Within individual plant genotypes, ToRSV-AP generally produced higher susceptibility ratings than GFLV-GHu, and GFLV-GHu always produced an equal or greater susceptibility rating than GFLV-F13 (Table 2), and the correlation between virus identity and virus incidence ratings were significant.
Consequently, all portions of the current minimal susceptibility region have an equal likelihood of containing the Hcf1 mutation.
The GSS assumed that all the deletions and polymorphisms have an equal weight contribution to the genetic susceptibility of a participant to oxidative stress.
