Sentence examples for capacity of pathogens from inspiring English sources

Our study also points to the limits of forecasting efforts if the capacity of pathogens to adapt to the environment is ignored.

This test is based on the capacity of pathogens ingested by C. elegans nematodes to infect and ultimately kill the worms (13).

The existence of an optimum is suggested by the peaking of pathogen dispersal between habitat patches at intermediate scales of habitat heterogeneity relative to the dispersal capacity of pathogens (Skelsey et al. 2013).

The reason for this is that it is involved in many aspects of immunity, and thus under very strong selection, with the diversity of MHC molecules being used to fight off the amazing capacity of pathogens to adapt to their host.

Recently, several theoretical studies have examined this assumption and shown that the reduced availability of resources by interventions, e.g., bednets and source reduction of aquatic habitats, can significantly affect population dynamics and the vectorial capacity of pathogen transmitting mosquitoes [8], [9], [10].

Indeed, biotrophy by powdery mildew is initially dependent upon the morphology of the epidermal surface and the adhesion capacity of pathogen spores to the cuticle/cell wall (Vanacker et al. 2000; Zeyen et al. 2002).

Microbial virulence factors, wildlife behavioral traits, zoonotic infections, and the environment all converge to determine both the infectious capacity of potential pathogens and the likelihood of human exposure.

Several studies have revealed the capacity of bacterial pathogens to switch and adapt to different host species leading to host restriction but the molecular basis remains poorly understood (Eppinger et al. 2006; Herron-Olson et al. 2007; Lefebure and Stanhope 2007; Lowder et al. 2009).

In the ancestral life forms that gave rise to all vertebrates, an adaptive immune system must, however, have conferred such a significant selective advantage that nature came up twice independently with adaptive ways to counter the capacity of infectious pathogens to evolve at striking speed.

In (1), P denotes pathogen load, kpg represents a constant growth rate for pathogens, and P ∞ represents maximum carrying capacity of the pathogen.

Global climate change is also influencing the geographic distribution of hosts and pathogens, while also dually influencing the capacity of the pathogen to cause disease and the host's ability to mount a defensive response (Table 1).
