Sentence examples for evolving host from inspiring English sources

Is a parasitism rate of approximately 5% as found in the present study a sufficiently strong selection pressure for evolving host defences?

It is very likely that the rapidly evolving virus take advantage of slowly evolving host miRNAs to increase their survival in the host, analogous to the manner in which viruses take advantage of other cellular processes.

In this coevolutionary arms race scenario, continually evolving host resistance would give rise to constant selective pressure for the preservation of duplications of genes relevant to virulence [ 20, 42, 43].

However, the highly diverse U3 region presents inter- and intra-specific diversification, which supports the hypothesis of a rapidly evolving sequence that can be interpreted as a strategy either to evade negative control by the host or to quickly adapt to the new evolving host genome thus contributing to host fitness.

Second, due to the horizontal spread of plastids, vertically evolving host-cell markers are inherently uninformative to study the evolution of these organelles.

We would therefore postulate the latter subfamilies to be involved in basic slowly evolving host-parasite interactions, whereas the Chr12 subfamily could be linked to more dynamic adaptative responses like optimisation of cellular infection (internalisation and maintenance in the macrophage) and escape from the immune system.

However, Aphis has diversified promiscuously to various unrelated plant families unlike other aphids in the genera Uroleucon, Macrosiphoniella, and Megoura, which have evolved host specialization to one plant family [2], [6], [17], [18].

Distinct genetic lineages within the taxon 2 and 3 complex of Bisgaard also seem to have evolved host specificity for Columbidae, Anatidae and Psittacidae, respectively [ 8].

As shown by Dyer & Jaenike [ 52], endosymbionts may have only limited capacity to counter newly evolved host resistance because of their small effective population sizes [ 53].

This pattern was first observed in Mycobacterium leprae, a recently evolved host-restricted pathogen (Cole et al. 2001).

The answers will certainly prove informative as to how this seemingly simple single-celled parasite outsmarts its more highly evolved hosts.
