Species4
I come from a world-building perspective that the craftiness and intelligence of a sentient species should lead to innovative defenses that do not necessarily rely on magic. (sycarion.com)
We are analyzing to which extent fungivorous amoebae as naturally occurring predators could have exerted a selective pressure on fungi, which encouraged the development of virulent traits, e.g. the camouflage the cell surface by pigments or increased resistance to reactive oxygen species. (leibniz-hki.de)
We conducted environmental genetic surveys and laboratory co-culture infection experiments to assess whether plague bacteria were resistant to digestion by 5 environmental ameba species. (cdc.gov)
First, we demonstrated that Yersinia pestis is resistant or transiently resistant to various ameba species. (cdc.gov)
Infection2
Prevention is by vaccination and infection control precautions (eg, face masks, handwashing, social distancing, isolation of infected individuals). (msdmanuals.com)
Like amoeboid blobs, not that amoebas aren't wonderfully successful in their own way. (sustainlv.org)
Structures2
Finally, we found that Y. pestis resides within ameba structures synonymous with those found in infected human macrophages, for which Y. pestis is a competent pathogen. (cdc.gov)
Granulomas are important immunological structures in the host defense against the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the main etiologic agent of Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a granulomatous systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. (bvsalud.org)
Mechanisms1
We are particularly interested in whether these mechanisms are also targeted against amoebae and hence, are advantageous in natural environments. (leibniz-hki.de)
Microbial1
We are interested whether phagocyte derived ROS could pose a threat to fungi and if the ROS defense strategies may have been 'trained' by microbial interactions. (leibniz-hki.de)
Immune1
Both are likely to be useful in the defense against natural predators and during interactions with cells of the immune system. (leibniz-hki.de)
Vaccination1
The best defense against the flu is vaccination. (webblogs.org)
Bacteria2
The first line of defense is the gut lining that protects the body from toxins, undigested food, pathogens and their outputs like LPS, lipopolysaccarides, endotoxins produced by bacteria. (primalrejuvenation.com)
Then the lack of all of the above lead to lower immunity to external parasites like worms, single cell protozoa or amoebas like malaria, giardia, babesia, and bacteria associated with lyme or from other sources. (primalrejuvenation.com)
Officials1
Defense, intelligence and homeland security officials are constructing a parallel world, on a computer, which the agencies will use to test propaganda messages and military strategies. (pearltrees.com)
Resistance2
Two meditations by Howard Thurman-- this is side one entitled, "Resistance to the Social Order. (emory.edu)
These men, who rise as high above the laws and conventions of their social world as the mass who violate them fall below, are yet inextricably blended with them in the stream of souls who walk in the path of resistance to law. (emory.edu)
Free1
With the flood of Free Agent signings, the Patriots have rebuilt their defense into what may be a top-tier NFL group. (patsfans.com)
Interactions1
The group deals with the application-oriented projects to identify, isolate and characterise novel natural products from the secondary metabolism of amoebae-microbe-interactions. (leibniz-hki.de)

If you've been on social media lately, or turned on your TV, you may have noticed there are a lot of dumb ideas floating around out there. (localinfo.jp)
By Nanice Ellis Contributing Writer for Wake Up World No doubt, the world has never been more chaotic and confusing, and with contradicting data streaming from the internet, social media and MSM, it's nearly impossible to know who and what to believe, especially with fake news masquerading as real news and real news being dismissed as fake news!

Potential1
Kufs JE, Reimer C, Stallforth P, Hillmann F, Regestein L * (2022) The potential of amoeba-based processes for natural product syntheses. (leibniz-hki.de)
And lately, our team has found altered patterns of these microbes in the gut and mouth that seem to impair the ability of our bodies to mount a good defense against COVID-19. (snexplores.org)
External1
In psychological jargon, we would say that the compulsive giver has alloplastic defenses with an external locus of control. (tripod.com)

State2
KJ Jefferson threw for two touchdowns and Arkansas' defense limited Kent State to 200 yards of total offense in a 28-6 Razorbacks win. (apnews.com)
Tom Engelhardt's introduction is the most disheartening review of Obama's emerging team in the defense/security/state sectors yet. (tomhull.com)

Fact1
In fact, I met Ph.D. Amoeba (my beloved) almost instantly, but at the time I thought he was a pompous jerk. (charlene-amsden.com)
Natural1
It might be objected by psychologists, of course, that the deeds of these men were so heinous that it was a natural and perhaps even necessary psychic defense for them to ascribe the deaths of their victims to forces beyond their control: too swift an acknowledgment of responsibility would result in a total collapse of their morale and, possibly, in suicide. (city-journal.org)

Up and down all the ages man has been on earth, there have been found these social resisters and violators of the accepted order-- the saviors and leaders of men on the path to higher forms of life. (emory.edu)
Risk1
Because intubation and mechanical ventilation alter first-line patient defenses, they greatly increase the risk for nosocomial bacterial pneumonia. (cdc.gov)
