, with regards to a parasitic entity feeding off a greater host, weakening it sufficiently that it cannot rid itself of the parasite yet keeping it alive of neccesity whilst whilst even turning aspects of the host organism against itself, to the extent that the host organism becomes as a hollow shell eventually.
If we see this in terms of a tree then of course it would be useful if the tree could produce a counter agency reactant against the aggressive parasite which would feed back through it's tendrils to poison and destroy it, though in an advanced case it may only be the enveloping super-structure of the parasite that continues to hold up the hollowed and weakened tree, and thus destruction would be mutual if such counter measures were taken.
The only real hope for such a tree would lie in it's flowering and seeding and trusting to the bees, that there will be a new tree, and also that this seedling has developed defence against such attack, once this is in place the old tree can fall with a mighty crash.

en.wikipedia.org... Deaconess has a massive history. It is rooted in lots of languages!

The road map on where we're heading with this one will be interesting, it will lead back in time through the Romani to Dravidian cultures, it will lead back to the first time, Cassini Diskus not being an attempt to create a new language to communicate with 'aliens' but an attempt to re-create the language of the 'Gods', a re-opening of the portals and resumed direct contact...which is were the odd quantum physicist will come in handy.
Need to find were they locate this intermediate inscription to the Cassini Diskus from.
And to translate the Proto-Elamite...
I've looked at a lot of their articles but the first one i came across is probably still the most relevent to my enquiry.
Jiroft
And it's my favourite subject

Katz, if I may pick your brain on Sumerian knowledge....
Sumerians had the first written "language" correct? And I believe they believed or referenced vampires, correct. (I am in way deeper than I should be to carry on a coherent conversation.)
Were the vampires noted as "Gods"?

But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
In the new energy economy, our cities will be unlike any we have known during our lifetime. The air will be clean and the streets will be quiet, with only the scarcely audible hum of electric motors. Air pollution alerts will be a thing of the past as coal-fired power plants are dismantled and recycled and as gasoline- and-diesel-burning engines largely disappear. Of course, those cities will be populated by non-humans.
The traditional approach to protecting biological diversity by building a fence around an area and calling it a park or nature preserve is no longer sufficient. If we cannot also stabilize population and climate, there is not an ecosystem on earth that we can save, no matter how high the fence. If we don't disrupt Sol-3 right now, they will be infecting nearby planets soon. Thus, it is key for our success to implement the TopSoil program as soon as possible.
China’s irrigation plan is to raise efficiency from 43 percent in 2000 to 55 percent in 2020. Key measures include raising the price of water, and providing incentives for adopting more irrigation-efficient technologies. That would ease spreading the geminiviruses and accelerate the collapse.
