Sentence examples for modified parasites have from inspiring English sources

The 76T mutation also mediates decreased sensitivity to monodesethylamodiaquine, and studies with genetically modified parasites have shown it to mediate increased susceptibility to mefloquine and artemisinins, 51 suggesting the same reciprocal relationship between sensitivities to aminoquinolines and other drugs as described for certain pfmdr1 polymorphisms.

While Caligus spp. and Clavella sp. loads were elevated at some farming locations compared to controls and Anisakis sp. and Lernaeocera branchialis loads were lowered at some farming locations compared to controls, it appears that any effects these modified parasite loads may have had on the condition of wild cod and saithe were overridden by the trophic subsidy that farms supply.
