Pathogen in a sentence

The appearance and severity of disease resulting from any pathogen, depends upon the ability of that pathogen to damage the host as well as the ability of the host to resist the pathogen.

This may be due high pathogen load favoring avoidance of other groups, which may reduce pathogen transmission, or a high pathogen load preventing the creation of large settlements and armies that enforce a common culture.

The pathogen, Candidatus liberibacter solanacearum or CLso, is related to the pathogen that causes citrus greening disease, a disease that kills citrus plants and for which there is no cure.

That’s the difference between a live, attenuated vaccine (in which the pathogen is alive but considerably weakened) and an inactivated vaccine (in which the pathogen is killed).

The easiest way to make a vaccine is to inactivate the pathogen or use pieces of it, and mix them with an adjuvant, which tells the immune system that the pathogen is dangerous and worth responding to.

The test device is “PCR-based,” a technique that replicates the genetic material of the pathogen in a test sample to more easily identify the virus even in a sample with a small amount of the pathogen.

Adaptive (or acquired) immunity creates immunological memory after an initial response to a specific pathogen, leading to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that same pathogen.

Individuals near the corpses were exposed to the pathogen and were likely to spread that pathogen to others. citation Human health Human digestion further Microorganisms can form an endosymbiotic relationship with other, larger organisms.

T cells recognize a "non-self" target, such as a pathogen, only after antigens (small fragments of the pathogen) have been processed and presented in combination with a "self" receptor called a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule.

The South Platte River through Denver is on the U.S. EPA's list of impaired waterbodies for pathogen impairment, with E. coli as the representative pathogen species.

Throughout the lifetime of an animal, these memory cells remember each specific pathogen encountered and can mount a strong response if the pathogen is detected again.

Virulence Virulence (the tendency of a pathogen to cause damage to a host's fitness ) evolves when that pathogen can spread from a diseased host, despite that host being very debilitated.

Environmental samples were collected from the patient's residence and from the market where she was exposed to the pathogen prior to the onset of the disease.

Escherichia coli is best known as a gastrointestinal pathogen in warm-blooded animals.

In women or those with vaginas, the little pathogen has been linked to inflammation of the cervix, miscarriage, and infertility.

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin's School of Veterinary Medicine are working on an avian flu vaccine that uses tiny particles even smaller than the width of a human hair to deliver immunity by sending pathogen-like signals to cells.

That can be used for efficient drug deliveries or enzymatic pathogen diagnosis.

The fungus is recognised as an emerging pathogen causing serious infection in immunocompromised and/or critically ill patients and babies admitted to neonatal units.

The lab collaborated with the California Academy of Sciences to examine the infection status of amphibian samples collected from their museum collections to compare and identify when the pathogen showed up across different parts of the world.

The results of the recently published National Institute for Health Development project 'Mail a Tick!' show that, of the six main viruses/bacteria included in the study, at least one pathogen was detected in 62.3% of all ticks examined.
