shivering. involuntary shaking of the body, as with cold. It is caused by contraction or twitching of the muscles, and is a physiologic method of heat production in humans and other mammals. As a form of aerobic skeletal muscle activity, vigorous shivering uses about as much energy as riding a bicycle or shoveling snow.

Ecology and Pathogenesis. Fusarium oxysporum is associated with endomycorrhizobial organisms, which can enter the cells in the roots and colozine the root system. The pathogenicity of this fungus is presumed to be determined by the fungus's ability to enter the vascular system of the plant via the root system.
