Streptococcus iniae virulence is associated with a distinct genetic profile.
Since absolute bacterial growth is maximised when bacteriocin production is minimised, and virulence is correlated with bacterial growth, virulence is maximised when r = 0 and r = 1, and is minimised at intermediate values of r (Figure 2C).
Ectoparasite virulence is linked to mode of transmission.
[In at least the mathematical theory, the morbidity component of microparasite virulence is not treated explicitly (25).
UniProt Knowledgebase keyword: Virulence DescriptionProtein involved in virulence, the degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses, as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host.
In developing these signatures, biological foundation researchers are also shedding light on poorly understood aspects of biology, microbiology, and genetics, such as immunology, evolution, and virulence.
