The model can be adapted to any form of inheritance by specifying three properties: (i) the effects of transmissible variants on individual fitness, (ii) the rules of transmission from parent to offspring, and (iii) any changes that occur in individual phenotypes over an individual lifetime.
Epidemiological studies suggest that the Beijing genotype is highly transmissible (based on geographical clustering of individual strains within households and communities [ 30]), leading to a hypothesis that drug resistance is spreading clonally through the region.
However, by focusing only on one transmissible nongenetic contribution to phenotype and considering the inducing state as independent of the current epigenetic state, environmental effects on epigenetic state are not included in their model.
Remarkably, increased adiposity was transmissible to genetically normal mice on a standard, calorie-controlled diet by transferring these microbial communities from the obese mice to the normal mice (Turnbaugh et al. 2006, 2008).
To test the effect of the mutations in HA in the airborne-transmissible virus on its sensitivity to antiviral drugs, we used virus isolated from F5 (experiment 6).
We present the impact of a pandemic with new human-transmissible influenza on hospital resources in the northern part of the Netherlands.
Dr. Tom Pringle, a biochemist in Eugene, Ore., and independent researcher on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, says American officials have not done enough to battle the disease.
A. Foot-and-mouth disease is a danger only to animals, not to humans, and "the chance of getting mad cow disease from dairy products is zero to almost zero," said Dr. Peter Lurie, a physician who is deputy director of the Public Citizen's Health Research Group and a member of the United States Food and Drug Administration's advisory committee on transmissible spongiform encephalopathy.
The transmissible distance depends on the performance of the receiving antenna.
