Comparison of friends and status updates and confessions of looking up former lovers/classmates/loathsome co-workers occupy the conversational hours before the host relative calls everyone to dinner.].
Virus multiplication rates were estimated by viral RNA accumulation in leaves, and virulence was estimated as the effect of virus infection on host relative fitness.
In a previous study, we profiled P. temperata gene expression upon infection of an insect host relative to grown in artificial medium [5].
Direct costs of infection have potentially been balanced by indirect benefits in deteriorating environmental conditions, therefore sustaining infected host relative fitness.
The sensitivity to detect any of the Bhvsp genes in brain decreased from one and a half to almost 4 fold when the samples were run in multiplex compared to singleplex because of the abundance of host relative to borrelial DNA.
The dnIGE model assumes that the time-varying infection rate defined in (1) is conditional on random frailty terms (Aalen et al. 2008) g j and f k, which capture unobserved heterogeneity in host (relative) susceptibility and host (relative) infectivity, respectively.
In part, mixed species infections within a single host may compete, and increase their individual egg output and subsequent virulence to their host, relative to that produced under single species infections [ 34].
Therefore, the rates of recombination and mutation acting on C. albicans subtelomeres may be different in the mammalian host relative to those in vitro, but the relative amount of recombination that occurs at telomeres is likely higher than at other loci.
