Reservoir Host Definition A reservoir host is a host that harbors the pathogen and serves as a source of the infective agent that it transmits to a potential host. Reservoir hosts may or may not show ill effects. Often, they show no symptoms (asymptomatic). The disease may spread rather ea...

Vegetables, fruits, and grains are an important source of carbohydrates and dietary fibers in our diet. In particular, dietary fibers are comprised of cell wall polysaccharides that are indigestible to the human host, but are used as fermentable substrates by microbes residing in the large intestine...
Accordingly, it has been recommended that the definition of an enhancer detected using “enhancer specific” chromatin modifications should only be accepted if supported by functional data, preferably derived using in-vivo models [28]. Identifying enhancers through expression quantitative trait loci ...
Unlike HIV infection, which progresses to AIDS absent suppressive anti-retroviral therapy, nonpathogenic infections in natural hosts, such African green monkeys, are characterized by a lack of gut microbial translocation and robust secondary lymphoid nat
