0 present participle of inoculate
1 to give a weak form of a disease to a person or animal, usually by injection, as a protection against that disease:
A specific inoculating event could, however, not be identified.
Thus, inoculating dose and number of parasitic females are correlated measures and explain a similar proportion of the deviance in models of parasite fecundity.
In summary, inoculating dose affected morbidity as measured by maximum anaemia and weight loss.
This arrangement allows them to be proactive, inoculating their client against future problems.
Infection was done by inoculating 15 animals at hatch and housing them together from the time of infection with 20 non-infected animals.
However, for a parasitic female that does establish, its survivorship decreases as the size of inoculating dose increases.
Some clear results were obtained later in the trial by inoculating fewer samples per laboratory rabbit and only scoring up to 4 days after inoculation.
However, since slightly more deviance is explained by inoculating dose than by the number of parasitic females we provide this in the preferred minimal model.
