(table 1 ), but note that c i < 1 leads to a model of partial resistance [ 44 ]. the res and avr alleles have constitutive fitness costs u i and b i to hosts and parasites respectively in deme i [ 15 , 17 ]. in the metapopulation, gfg co-evolution takes place in a spatial ...
Third, we extend previous work [30,40] to relate the strength of direct FDS and the conditions for occurrence of stable polymorphism to the parameters which describe plant-parasite interactions involving GFG relationships. In particular, we highlight the importance of costs of resistance and virulenc...
In patients without acute inflammation and overt iron deficiency (C reactive protein <1 mg/dl and ferritin >30 ng/ml; n = 86), hepcidin was associated with lower mean corpuscular volume (p = 0.002), suggesting that it contributed to iron-restricted erythropoiesis. In line with ...
Diabetes was defined in the MDC-CVA as either a fasting whole blood glucose ≥ 6.1 mmol/L or current therapy with antidiabetic drugs or a self-reported history of physicians diagnosis of diabetes. Cystatin C was measured using a particle-enhanced immuno-nephelometric assay (N Latex Cystatin, Si...
