Sentence examples for host predilection from inspiring English sources

During an outbreak, host predilection of VSNJV strains could result in more severe clinical disease in one host, over another.

The results of the current study, when considered with the results of phylogenetic analysis of VSNJV strains, support the theory of VSNJV host predilection in a cattle model.

Here, our objective was to more closely evaluate VSNJV host predilection in cattle experimentally infected with homologous and heterologous VSNJV strains and in swine infected with heterologous VSNJV strains.

Chlamydia psittaci is currently classified into seven ompA genotypes, each of which appears to have a certain host predilection: genotype A (parrots), B (pigeons), C (ducks and geese), D (turkeys), E (pigeons, ducks and other species), F (parakeets), and E/B (ducks, turkeys and pigeons) (Vanrompay et al. 1997; Geens et al. 2005; Sachse et al. 2009).

Epidemiologic data collected during epidemics in the western United States combined with limited experimental studies involving swine and cattle suggest that host predilection of epidemic vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus (VSNJV) strains results in variations in clinical response, extent and duration of virus shedding and transmissibility following infection in different hosts.

Instead it appears likely that differential expression of a range of genes between M. tuberculosis and M. bovis explains their specific host predilections.

Further work is needed to examine VSNJV strain host predilections in additional hosts.

Viral host predilections, which result in variable disease severity, may result in an underestimation of viral prevalence in livestock populations during outbreaks.

When this is examined in conjunction with epidemiologic data collected during outbreaks, it appears that individual VSNJV strains have distinct host predilections.

Collectively, these results do not indicate host predilections for VSNJV strains in swine, and are dissimilar to previous results which demonstrated a decreased virulence of NJ82AZB in swine [ 23].

If real, such host predilections could have a profound impact on the current understanding of transmission, both animal-to-animal and vector-borne, as well as the overall epidemiology of VSNJV.
