Sentence examples for worm survival from inspiring English sources

Mice lacking IL-4 were unable to mount a normal protective response to infection, such that worm survival was increased.

In the model, worm survival declines in response to both the increasing age of the horse and the increasing cumulative length of worms in the intestine (used as a proxy for crowding).

For this evaluation, the percentage of worm survival was used in calculations after the following treatments: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a negative control (background), and amphotericin B (2.5 µg/ml) and ketoconazole (16.0 µg/ml), (which conferred 93 100% worm survival) were used as the positive controls.

The survival of worms pre-exposed to C. albicans lawns on agar before transferring to the assay medium was compared to worm survival when the nematode and C. albicans were co-inoculated in the assay medium.

Shortly after treatment and dependent upon the exposure level, a fraction of the worms displayed vacuoles in the main epithelia: epidermis, excretory cell and gut, tissues whose integrity is essential for worm survival (Fig. 3).

The rate of worm survival was comparable in the co-inoculation and pre-infection assays (Figure 1), demonstrating that prior exposure of the nematodes to C. albicans on solid media is not necessary for killing of the nematodes.

Phages shed by stable worm gut populations of B. anthracis can, therefore, infect incoming non-lysogens and confer the novel worm-survival phenotype.

Thus, although worms improve survival by adapting to sheep with AA genotype, overall fitness for worms with the B allele remains lower than wild-type worms in susceptible sheep because of the allele's pleiotropic effects.

An extract or compound was considered a positive hit if >50% of the infected worms survived compared to ≤ 20% survival in the untreated control worms in least two replicates.

As these proteins could mediate worm-gut survival for B. anthracis, we created transcriptional fusions of BA3443, BA0672, and BA1295 to gfpmut2 and screened them for differential fluorescence in a ΔSterne/Wip4 background.

Worms in survival experiments were moved to fresh plates at least every other day to avoid contamination by young.
