Clinically obtained C. albicans isolates form biofilms (14 ), which may be important for sustaining infection.
If a core group is sustaining infection in a larger group, targeting interventions based on individual-level risk factors will not, in general, address the principle cause of disease (Christley et al. 2005; Jacquez et al. 1988; Verdasca et al. 2005).
Dr. Mary G. McIntyre of the state health department said that about 35 percent of the patients who received T.P.N. from Meds IV in March sustained infections.
We further observe a strong dependence of human infection and recovery on distributions of susceptible human populations with some degree of independence from mosquito distributions given an adequate supply of mosquito vectors to sustain infections.
This process allows the development of sustained infections.
longipalpis is indisputable, chickens, like other birds, are unable to sustain infections with Leishmania, and the nature of the relationship between chicken raising and ZVL is complex.
Because of the small number of infected erythrocytes needed to sustain infection, screening peripheral blood for organisms, even with confocal microscopy, has a poor success rate (12 ).
Different combinations of these parameters lead to the different outcomes described above, and all possible scenarios can be placed within a 2-dimensional continuum, with f12 on one axis (i.e., can H2 get infected from H1?) and f22 on the other (i.e., can H2 sustain infection?).
Most important, a bundled approach can lead to sustained infection reduction.
Because only mammals can sustain infection, T. cruzi infection should be low in bugs collected from chicken coops [27] if the bugs do not migrate and feed in other habitats.
