Sentence examples for heritable infections from inspiring English sources

A Wolbachia spillover from an infected source population must occur prior to the establishment of heritable infections, but this spillover may be transient.

Most studies dealing with this phenomenon investigated horizontal transmission as the establishment of new heritable infections in new host lineages that may then express a reproductive phenotype leading to increases in infection frequencies in populations.

From a mechanistic point of view, however, we document the transmission of a microorganism from one individual to another, unrelated, individual within the same generation, a necessary precondition of a novel heritable infection in a population.

From an evolutionary point of view (most often used in the symbiont literature), our results show no transmission of secondary symbionts from B. tabaci to parasitoids that result in a heritable infection.

Experimental evidence of a heritable Wolbachia infection is necessary to confirm an established infection.

Bian et al. (p. 748) established a heritable Wolbachia infection in anopheline mosquitoes, which simultaneously suppressed the reproduction of malaria parasites within the adult female mosquitoes.

Susceptibility to MAP infection is heritable with heritability estimates ranging from 0.06 to 0.10.

Susceptibility to infections is heritable, as demonstrated in a seminal study which examined and compared the cause of death among adoptees to that of their biological or adoptive parents [45].

The CRISPR sequences thus provide an adaptive, heritable record of past infections and express small RNAs that target invading nucleic acids.

Or mosquitoes can be released that have been bred to be less able to transmit malaria (Ito et al. 2002) or to have heritable life-shortening Wolbachia infections (McMeniman et al. 2009).

IBK infection is a heritable trait, although its heritability is low to moderate (0.17 ± 0.03 to 0.19 ± 0.06) for pre-weaning and post-weaning calves from Australian tropically adapted Bos taurus cattle.
