How can you use “parasitic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The generation of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) by single-pass random sequencing of cDNA libraries is a powerful tool for rapid gene transcript identification in metazoans [ 14 15 16 17 ] including parasitic nematodes of humans and animals [ 18 19 20 21 22 23 ] . High-throughput projects on two dozen nematode species have now brought the total number of publicly available roundworm ESTs to nearly 400,000, with half the sequences coming from parasites [ 24 25 26 27 ] . As a part of these efforts, EST sequencing from plant parasitic nematodes is in progress [ 28 ] and pilot EST datasets from the root-knot nematode M. incognita and the cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida second-stage larvae have recently been analyzed [ 29 30 ] .
It is not clear which genetic differences between the plant parasitic and non-parasitic forms may be responsible for conferring parasitic ability.
By contrast, R. radiobacter , which forms a parasitic relationship with plants by producing a crown gall rather than nodules, lacks these genes, and appears to possess only nodL , nodX and nodN , suggesting these three nod genes are sufficient to affect root growth and are involved in a parasitic lifestyle rather than being specific to symbiosis [ 33 ] .
Greed is almost as good a parasitic strategy as fear.
Subsequently, this enzyme apparently has been expunged from the cellular RNA synthesis systems and survived only in some parasitic elements, such as bacteriophages, through which it might have been reintroduced into the genome of an ancestral eukaryote.
