Question

英语翻译
原文：These data provide adequate evidence for horizontal transmission without considering more unlikely mechanisms such as cohibernation,which we would not advocate as a useful hypothesis for the reasons stated by de Jong et al.Similarly,we see no similarity between the microsporidia we identified and the male-killing bacteria discussed by Sloggett 只告诉我cohibernation的意思就好,百度上查不到

Answer 1

应该是共同休眠的意思
类似冬虫夏草.
被寄生的动物并不会在一定时期内被寄生的细菌所吞噬.（如冬眠期）
原因可能是冬季的天气并不利于该细菌的繁殖与生长.
所以该细菌进入了与该动物的一种共同休眠状态.类似潜伏期.
到春季该动物复苏,而细菌也苏醒,开始大量在该动物体内繁殖,从而杀死该动物.
