The narrow host range of HCV remains incompletely understood.
A major limitation in using bacteriophage-based applications is their narrow host range.
Drawbacks of phage to consider include narrow host range, bacterial resistance to phage and phage-encoded virulence genes that can incorporate into the host bacterial genome.
A 107,637 base pairs (bp) conjugative plasmid pSD107 containing 150 putative coding sequences (CDS) could be assigned to the narrow host range incompatibility group IncI1.
Progress has been made in understanding the determinants that dictate HCV's narrow host range providing a blueprint for constructing a mouse model with inheritable susceptibility to HCV infection.
Agasicles hygrophila (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a South American herbivore with a narrow host range (Alternanthera) that was first released in China in 1986 to control A. philoxeroides but also attacks the non-target plant A. sessilis.
Second, baculovirus has a narrow host range, and is easily inactivated by chemical reagent.
Some, such as smallpox virus for example, can infect only one species – in this case humans, and are said to have a narrow host range.
Hpa is a highly specialized oomycete pathogen with a narrow host range.
Additionally, S. choleraesuis, having a narrow host range and causing invasive infections in humans [24] [27], can cause swine paratyphoid [45].
Many types of cells (including fibroblast, epithelial, endothelial, and hematopoietic cells) are permissive for CMV infection, which infection results in the production of infectious particles [1], but CMV infection and replication are limited to a narrow host range [2], [3].
