Biological


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or relating to biology.

Example Sentences:

Parasitic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Parasitical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The rise of malaria despite of control measures involves several factors: the house spraying is no more accepted by a large percentage of house holders and the alternative larviciding has only a limited efficacy; the houses of American Indians have no walls to be sprayed; there is a continuous introduction of parasites by migrants.
