The phrase "and pathogen characteristics of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the traits or features of pathogens, often in scientific or medical writing.
Example: "The study focused on the transmission dynamics and pathogen characteristics of the newly discovered virus."
Alternatives: "and traits of the pathogen" or "and features of the pathogen".
When matched for age, gender, and pathogen characteristics, and adjusted for baseline severity of illness, the major interventions that were associated with an increased risk of ALI were transfusions and inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy.
The reasons for its infrequent use include the time-consuming nature of the process due to the microanaerobic pathogen characteristics and the lack of time to perform the procedure during endoscopy.
Timely and sensitive surveillance systems are key to successful application of the optimal control method as knowledge of both the pathogen characteristics and the community state are assumed.
The importance of these organisms as pathogens of humans and other mammals as well as their recent evolutionary changes in critical pathogen characteristics raise the significance of understanding the genesis and effects of these diversity-generating mechanisms.
The clinical course of meningococcal meningitis (MM) is highly diverse and depends both on pathogen characteristics as on the individual immune response of the affected patient.
The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) framework has been used extensively in mathematical epidemiology [7], where the focus lies on how the prevalence and dynamics of infection varies with the transmission capacity of the pathogen and the characteristics of host immune response [8].
A brief summary of the key features of the diseases caused by the two pathogens--rotavirus and HPV--and the characteristics of the two new vaccines follows: Rotavirus is the major cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea among children under 5 years of age [ 20, 21].
Analyzing diffusion patterns of pandemics is difficult, as it depends upon various factors including place-specific public health responses, social interactions among people, travel patterns within cities and across countries, the natural and built environments, and characteristics of the pathogens themselves [ 5, 23, 24].
In 2003, active surveillance for hospitalized pneumonia was initiated in two provinces in Thailand, Sa Kaeo and Nakhon Phanom provinces, with the goal of detecting and describing the burden and characteristics of pathogens causing pneumonia[11].
Phylogenetic studies have been utilized to investigate endemic and emerging pathogen populations at various scales and offer significant insight into the evolutionary and epidemiological characteristics of pathogens involved in disease emergence (Grenfell et al. 2004; Pybus and Rambaut 2009).
