Seedling survival of tropical tree species: interactions of dispersal distance, light-gaps, and pathogens.
This study reveals the importance of litter-cover on the interactions between seedlings, herbivores and pathogens, as well as on the performance of tropical seedlings.
Seedling survival of tropical species: interaction of dispersal distance, light gaps and pathogens.
Also, the persistence of serum antibodies makes it difficult to differentiate between previous and recent exposures to a pathogen.
The first is an introduction to vegetable crops and diseases where the general background to pathogens and their significance to vegetable production are considered.
Cofeeding ticks : epidemiological significance for tick-borne pathogen transmission.
This would potentially facilitate competition between microbes and reduce the risk of a small number of pathogens dominating and, therefore, proliferating.
Conversely, antibody production is controlled by the probability of antibodies (or antibody-producing cells) encountering bacteria (or being presented with antigens derived from these pathogens).
