Sentence examples for overall reproduction from inspiring English sources
Together these life-history stages determine a pathogen's overall reproductive success within the host, however, the contribution of individual life-history stages to overall reproduction can vary among pathogen genotypes [ 43] and across ecological contexts [ 8].
Longer transmission times tend to favour strains that achieve greater overall reproduction through the prudent use of host resources, leading to lower virulence and greater host survival [2], [3].
We therefore tested the impact of age heterogeneity using an alternative model with different reproduction numbers for adults and children (but with the overall reproduction number equal to that of our basic model).
Herbivory and seed predation could also be important factors in overall reproduction of the plants but were not responsible for the observed effects because flowers that showed herbivory damage, or contained larvae, were removed from the samples before the seed and fruit counts were done.
However, the reduction in person-to-person transmission was still enough to drive the overall reproduction number below 1 by the end of September.
As the epidemic progressed, we found that the overall reproduction number decreased due to changes in the contact rate within the community and within the hospital.
A big part of modern sheep reproduction is overall breeding animal health.
Overall the reproduction of the sensitizing effect is not only maintained but even improved.
We calibrated the transmissibility of the virus to render an overall basic reproduction ratio of 1.7 in a susceptible population, which is in line with epidemic growth rates observed in past influenza pandemics.
Using these estimates, we calculated the contribution of person-to-person transmission (via infection from living and dead hosts in the community) and hospital-based transmission (via contaminated syringe) to the overall basic reproduction number, R0 (see Text S3).
In the case of P. falciparum the overall goal is reproduction, and thus biomass production on the metabolic level.
