We tested the hypothesis that white-footed mice (P. leucopus) were the predominant host of B. microti in this community.
The Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium, Escherichia coli has been studied extensively on a fundamental and applied level and has become a predominant host microorganism for industrial applications.
Birds are the predominant hosts of WNV, whereas mammals (including humans and equines) are accidental, dead-end hosts [ 6].
We found northern cardinals, rather than American robins, to be the predominant hosts of Cx. pipiens and Cx.
If M. cribraria became the predominant host, it would grab the mantle of soybean pest.
Acer spp. (maples) are the predominant hosts in the introduced range [ 6, 7].
In New York, northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) were the predominant hosts in most habitats.
Asian macaques are the predominant natural hosts for SRV-D.
Overall, the distribution of cases is constrained by the ranges of the predominant natural hosts for P. knowlesi: long-tailed (Macaca fascicularis) and pig-tailed (M. nemestrina) macaques.
R. rattus was the predominant species captured in urban and suburban environments (72%) and appears to be the primary host for R. felis– and R. typhi– infected X. cheopis.
