Sentence examples for host contact from inspiring English sources

In traditional vector surveillance systems, adult mosquito density and the rate of mosquito-human host contact are estimated from the mosquito numbers captured in mechanical traps.

Much research in recent years has sought to integrate into disease models more detailed and realistic descriptions of heterogeneities associated with host contact networks, population structure, and environment.

An optimally minimal triad of components can be recommended for the creation of a laboratory niche Web site: a main set of media, a blog, and an ancillary component (host, contact, and links).

Both an anatomic hip center and maximum bone host contact are desirable postoperatively to support stability.

Sex-specific differences in shoaling [19] resulted in more host contact between females, which increased female-to-female parasite transmission.

Here, we investigate whether the degree of host contact in single-sex shoals influences gyrodactylid transmission, and whether guppy behaviour is influenced by the presence of infected conspecifics.

We provide evidence that certain types of virulence factors, such as components of host contact-dependent secretion systems and certain classes of toxins, are quite selectively pathogen-associated.

Our investigation of putative pathogen-associated virulence factors reveals several universal strategies adopted by pathogens to gain access to and colonize privileged sites in hosts, i.e. the use of toxins and host contact-dependent secretion mechanisms.
