Sentence examples for vector preference from inspiring English sources
The parameter σ is a measure of vector preference for cattle compared to sheep: if σ<1, vectors feed preferentially on cattle, while if σ>1, they feed preferentially on sheep.
Robust phylogenies for pathogens allow scientists to test hypotheses about cross-species transmission (Faria et al. 2013) and changes in vector preference, and about past adaptations of different lineages.
Our high-throughput analyses revealed a cell-specific vector preference that is related to the host cell status in terms of chromatin state and transcriptional activity at the time of transduction.
Similarly, New World P. vivax parasites were postulated to represent a separate subspecies based on molecular polymorphism and difference in vector preference [ 50], albeit such a hypothesis was not supported by the mt haplotype analysis [ 12].
Equal values of β e within and between hosts imply a close spatial proximity between hosts and no vector preference for one host, while different β e values within and between hosts might be due to spatial partition of host distribution and/or vector host preference.
Including (i) different host preferences (e.g. P. falciparum infects humans whiles P. berghei is a rodent parasite), (ii) different insect vector preferences (P.
In contrast, research has shown that even taxonomically related bird species sharing similar habitat types may have varying blood parasite prevalences due to differing life histories or vector preferences [72], [73], [76].
Orthobunyavirus, transmitted through mosquitoes or midges vectors, are divided in 18 serogroups, based on cross-titrations in haemagglutination inhibition assays and neutralization assays, and correlating with main vector preferences.
Various preference models have been reported in the literature [29], which can be largely classified into goals, weights, reference vectors, preference relation, utility functions, outranking, and implicit preferences.
The vector feeding preference for common bean lines was assessed.
where Perror is the RMS power of the error vector and Preference is the power of the reference vector.
