Vertical transmission in animals?

Vertical transmission means the spread of disease from mother to kid shortly before, during or shortly after birth (the perinatal period). It can occur via chromosomes, across the placenta or through colostrum.

What is an example of vertical transmission?

Vertical transmission: Passage of a disease-causing agent (pathogen) from mother to baby during the period immediately before and after birth. Transmission might occur across the placenta, in the breast milk, or through direct contact during or after birth. For example, HIV can be a vertically transmitted pathogen.

What is horizontal transmission in animals?

horizontal transmission the spread of an infectious agent from one individual to another, usually through contact with bodily excretions or fluids, such as sputum or blood, that contain the agent.

What diseases are vertically transmitted?

HIV, toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpesviruses have been proven to transfer from mother to child via these routes. This is known as vertical transmission.

What is vertical and horizontal transmission?

In general, transmission of viruses can occur through two pathways: horizontal and vertical transmission. In horizontal transmission, viruses are transmitted among individuals of the same generation, while vertical transmission occurs from mothers to their offspring.

Is breastfeeding vertical transmission?

An estimated one-third to one-half of vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) worldwide is due to breastfeeding.

Can malaria be vertically transmitted?

Malaria vertical transmission could have serious consequences for the newborn such as a high susceptibility to malaria infection during the first months of life [15, 16] and also an early susceptibility to other infections [17, 18].

What is a vertical transmission?

Vertical transmission refers to generational transmission of viruses from parents to their offspring. HIV-1, e.g., can be acquired in utero (via breaks in the placental barrier or transcytosis of cell-associated virus), during delivery (intrapartum), or via breastfeeding.

Is vertical transmission direct or indirect?

Most health and government organizations classify infectious diseases as being transmitted 'directly' (e.g. sexual, vertical, skin-to-skin contact) and 'indirectly' (e.g. airborne, vector-borne, vehicle-borne, water- and food-borne) [13–15].

What is vertical infection?

Specialty. Pediatrics. A vertically transmitted infection is an infection caused by pathogens (such as bacteria and viruses) that use mother-to-child transmission, that is, transmission directly from the mother to an embryo, fetus, or baby during pregnancy or childbirth.

What is horizontal transmission example?

Examples are rickettsiae driven diseases (like typhus), which are contracted by a body louse's fecal material being scratched into the bloodstream. The vector is not necessarily another species, however. For example, a dog infected with Rabies may infect another dog via anterior station transmission.

What is vertical transmission of syphilis?

The present study demonstrated a vertical transmission rate of 65.8%, with 52 newborns affected by congenital syphilis. From the group of parturients with vertical transmission of the disease, 18 mothers had VDRL titers = 1/4, corresponding to 34.6% of the cases of congenital syphilis.

What is vertical cultural transmission?

Vertical cultural transmission occurs when individuals learn from their parents. Oblique cultural transmission occurs when individuals learn from other (non-parental) members of the older generation, such as teachers. Horizontal cultural transmission occurs when individuals learn from members of the same generation.

What is the vertical?

A vertical is an alignment in which the top is always above the bottom. It is a property of two or more points in which if a point is directly below the second point, and they are vertical to each other. ... Vertical lines or objects are always perpendicular to the horizontal lines or objects.

Is vertical transmission genetic?

Vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic information, including any genetic mutations, from a parent to its offspring. As you briefly saw in Week 1, bacteria reproduce by binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

What are some methods of horizontal transmission?

There are three mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. The most common mechanism for horizontal gene transmission among bacteria, especially from a donor bacterial species to different recipient species, is conjugation.
