Both histological types of cervical cancer showed a strong association with the number of sexual partners, with cancer risk increasing with the increasing number of partners.
A trend test of increasing rates of seropositivity with increasing numbers of partners was significant for both men (Z = 7.71, p<0.0001) and women (Z = 12.93, p<0.0001, Figure 1).
It is difficult to assess the impact this may have had on our prevalence estimates because increased number of partners is often associated with increased prevalence [ 2, 38] and higher education levels tend to be associated with reduced prevalence.
Therefore, it would not be surprising that this transmission manner would more readily link beneficial pesticide-degrading bacteria to their hosts, enhancing increase of both partners and therefore spread of the resistance phenotype.
Last year was a banner year for many law firms, but an increasing number of partners did not partake directly of the profits.
"But we are talking to an increasing number of partners, both individually and in groups, and talking to their employees as well".
With increasing numbers of partners, ejaculate sizes decrease owing to the requirement to divide the available amount of sperm across n partners.
Relevant behaviour change may include early commencement of sexual activity, increased number of partners (not only of women, but of their consorts), smoking, and oral contraceptive use [ 12].
In order to compare the null model characteristics of the specialization measures, we simulated artificial matrices with randomly associated partners and plotted the indices against an increasing number of partners and/or total number of interactions.
Harrold and associates argued that increased coordination of partners and their activities should lead to less duplication of work and conflicting strategies and hence make more efficient use of resources [ 18].
