Predation of a prey by a predator usually takes much more time than the parasitization of a host by a parasitoid. |
|
Vasogenic edema from compressive ischemia, venous stasis or parasitization of pial vessels may also occur and can be extensive. |
|
Multicellular organisms continually defend themselves against parasitization by potentially harmful microbes. |
|
They are known to attack Brown-headed Cowbirds, and the low rate of cowbird parasitization of their nests seems to indicate that their defense is effective. |
|
We tested the reproductive compensation hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis that parasitization depresses host resource allocation to reproduction. |
|
Therefore, any reduction in the complement activating function of the host may reduce the chances of parasitization. |
|
Mortality by parasitization in the association between the egg-pupal parasitoid Fopius arisanus and Ceratitis capitata. |
|
However, we have found little evidence of parasitization by varroa or tracheal mites. |
|
Bacterial parasitization of peripheral nerves is a unique feature that is characteristic of leprosy. |

The effect of organic fertilizers on fungi parasitization of beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii eggs in sugar beet cultivated in a three years rotation. |
