Sentence examples for lowering virulence from inspiring English sources

These include knowledge of the pandemic that may have reached the eastern part of the country via conferences held on the topic [ 34], allowing simple social distancing measures to be enacted [ 6, 48] and early detection through influenza awareness of inspectors and doctors [ 33], thereby lowering virulence in the later stages of the epidemic.

Of course, it must be recalled that the trade-off associated with phage resistance can be paid by the pathogen in a form other than lowered virulence.

While the 4.5S RNA gene is not essential, mutation impairs bacterial growth, lowers virulence factor secretion, and reduces virulence in a mouse infection model.

XpsE is known to be a key component of T2SS, the loss of which leads to lower virulence in X. oryzae[ 4].

It is likely that mixed-clone infections will often impose selection for cheats and so show lowered virulence when virulence depends upon cooperation (see for example West and Buckling [ 8] and references therein).

The mechanisms governing the virulence of PEDV (or coronaviruses in general) may be redundant, or the S INDEL strains may be an intermediate between those of virulent and attenuated PEDVs (e.g., lower virulence).

Despite these differences, all strains are virulent on the mice model, but show a slightly lower virulence than PAO1 strain (Table  2).
