Here, specialist species-specific natural enemies such as pathogens and herbivores reduce seed or juvenile conspecific survival rates near conspecific adults or in areas of high juvenile conspecific density, thereby reducing competitive exclusion and contributing to the maintenance of high tree species ...

there are 16,000 types of flies. Some of them eat by vomiting on their food to break it down, some of them eat or lay eggs in dead animals, some of them are bloodsuckers, most love an open garbage can... and they carry whatever pathogens they pick ...
"Bacteria, mites, mould and other pathogens can thrive in unclean birdhouses, leading to various health issues for the birds. By regularly cleaning and disinfecting birdhouses, you help prevent the spread of these harmful agents," HummingbirdsPlus suggests....
Infection.When you scratch an itchy rash, it opens your skin. This allows pathogens such as bacteria to enter, putting you at risk of infection. Anaphylaxis.In addition to a skin rash, some people can have a severe allergic reaction that is life-threatening, also known asanaphylaxis. The ex...
33 These parasites are of particular significance, as several are proven vectors of pathogens that cause zoonotic diseases. C. felis acts as a vector of Rickettsia typhi, the causative agent of murine (endemic) typhus.34 I. scapularis is a vector of the Lyme disease spirochete.35 D. ...
During a large variety of common pathogens, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, MRSA, MRCNS, V. parahaemolyticus, L. monocytogenes and Salmonella are the leading patho
The clinical presentation of neonatal sepsis varies depending on time of onset, gestational age, and causative pathogen [1, 2]. A broad spectrum of pathogens (i.e., bacteria, viruses and fungi) can cause neonatal sepsis [1]. Signs can initially be few and subtle like temperature instability...
Together, the 11 datasets comprise a broad set of different host–pathogen combinations, including viral and bacterial pathogens. The resulting set of 11 Lévy-walk kernels, each one determined by estimated values for four kernel parameters, allows us to compare the results to see if similarities ...
Monocytes comprise 5–10% of the total WBC population and mediate the phagocytosis of pathogens and antigen presentation.47 Eosinophils and basophils comprise 1–5% and 0.5–1% of the total WBC population, respectively. Both are known to be involved in the regulation of allergic reactions.48,49 ...
