Sentence examples for host per unit from inspiring English sources

The death rate of vector γ v, β3 is the disease carrying the vector to the host per unit time: (2) d N 1 d t = Λ h N 1 − μ h N 1 − δ h I h.

Our data from two clones are clearly limited, but if infecting dose is important, there may be additional subtle consequences of local heterogeneity in transmission intensity (number of infectious mosquito bites per host per unit time; i.e. dose) in addition to increasing R0 [ 44, 45] and genetic complexity [ 46].

This is even without taking into account the probability of at least one spore encountering a host, which will also be substantially increased by spores dispersing (and thus having multiple chances to encounter a host per unit time), rather than staying in a single aggregation (and having only a single chance per unit time to encounter a host).

In an epidemiological context, f(t) is the number of transmissions of a pathogen between hosts per unit time (the incidence of infection), and Y t) is the number of infected hosts (the prevalence of infection).

Operationally, resistance is typically measured by the number of parasites per host or per unit of host tissue [ 2, 3] while tolerance is defined as the slope of a regression of host performance against infection intensity [ 2, 3].

9) Calculate the per unit economics.

Production cost (per unit input).

Infection risk with mosquito-borne diseases depends on several factors, including the abundance of competent vectors, the availability of vertebrate hosts, and the biting rate (number of mosquitoes biting their host per time unit).

Thus the probability of a host becoming infected per unit time will be directly proportional to the number of parasites that it encounters.

The transmission rate β J represents the number of virus transmissions per unit time per infected host per available susceptible host.

Forests store more carbon than any other land-cover type per unit area9 and host a considerable fraction of the global biodiversity10.
