Sentence examples for feeding propensity from inspiring English sources

The increased feeding propensity in tim-cry1- and clk-silenced mosquitoes may be explained by an effect on the circadian clock, causing a delay in reaching the light-onset phase when feeding propensity is normally low.

We then performed a series of assays to better understand the mechanism mediating the inhibition of blood feeding propensity by shorter light pulses.

A series of assays were performed to address the effect of long and short light pulses on the mosquito's blood feeding propensity.

A short light pulse of 5 min resulted in a transient inhibition (~30 50%) of blood feeding propensity in mosquitoes, in both LD and DD conditions.

The persistence of this pattern even after a 48 h DD condition suggests that blood feeding propensity of mosquitoes is under circadian control.

The light pulse stimulated alteration of mosquito feeding propensity implicates circadian factors that appear to down-regulate components of the chemosensory system.

Therefore, differences in feeding propensities between large- and small-brained females are unlikely to have biased the outcome of the experiment as suggested by Healy & Rowe.

The effects of baseline transmission and the indoor feeding propensities of An. arabiensis are explored for two campaign designs, one with IRS only and a second with IRS and a hypothetical sexual-stage vaccine.

arabiensis indoor feeding propensities of 0.47, corresponding to the proportion of An. gambiae sensu lato observed to rest indoors during the Garki Project 7 and close to the value for An.

To study the blood-feeding propensity upon gene silencing, mosquitoes were exposed to anesthetized (with ketamine solution) Swiss Webster mice 4 days after the dsRNA injections.

RNAi-mediated gene silencing assays of the light pulse regulated circadian factors timeless, cryptochrome and three takeout homologues significantly up-regulated the mosquito's blood-feeding propensity.
