Sentence examples for vector activity and from inspiring English sources

The data showed that intratumoral injection of a GM-CSF-armed oncolytic vector induced potent anti-tumor responses in xenograft tumor models, likely as the result of both oncolytic vector activity and the induction of GM-CSF-mediated inflammation and innate immunity.

The austral winter may contribute to moderate vector activity and transmission.

July held the record for maximum temperature, which leads to higher vector activity and successful virus transmission.

It follows, therefore, that changes in climate will alter the spatial and temporal dynamics of DENV ecology, potentially increasing vector ranges, lengthening the duration of vector activity, and increasing the mosquito's infectious period by shortening the EIP.

Additional monthly maps of estimated basic reproduction number transmission rates (R0) were created in order to highlight areas of Switzerland prone to higher BT outbreaks in relation to both vector activity and transmission levels.

Our results showed that the months of July and September 2006 were the most suitable period in Switzerland for vector presence in terms of climatic conditions (suitability maps), while the highest R0 value indicating vector activity and therefore spread, occurred in June.

Vector-borne disease often is highly seasonal because of annual shifts in vector activities and abundance (4 ); however, seasonal patterns based on serologic data must be interpreted with caution because of long-term antibody persistence in some recaptured animals (S.N. Bevins, unpub. data).

Cucurbit viruses' control is based on three major axes: (i) planting healthy seeds or seedlings in a clean environment, (ii) interfering with vectors activity, and (iii) using resistant cultivars.

Investigation focused on the presumed peak period of mosquito vector activity (April October) and included samples from dead wild birds.

In addition, changes in seasonal precipitation and temperature influence vector-borne diseases through a) effects on vector survival, reproduction rates, habitat suitability, distribution, and abundance; b) the intensity and temporal pattern of vector activity (particularly biting rates); and c) rates of pathogen development, survival, and reproduction within vectors (Semenza and Menne 2009).

In addition, many factors such as season, insect vector activity, the health status and breed of the animals can affect the magnitude and the occurrence of LSD [ 23, 30, 31, 45].
