Vertical Transmission of Infectious Diseases and Genetic Disorders

2009
AbstractInfectious diseases and genetic conditions are both transmitted “vertically” from a pregnant woman to the child she bears. Most U.S. states require routine screening of women for syphilis during pregnancy, and cases of congenital syphilis now number less than about 400 per year.

SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol Transmission Through Vertical Sanitary Drains in High-Rise Buildings — Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, March 2022

China CDC Weekly, 2022
What is already known about this topic? Aerosol transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) via sanitary pipelines in high-rise buildings is possible, however, there is a lack of experimental evidence.

Vertical Transmission of Infectious Diseases and Genetic Disorder: Are the Medical and Public Responses Consistent?

2007
Abstract Transmissible infectious diseases differ from most other diseases, not only by their etiology but by the risk they pose to others. Public policy, law, and ethics acknowledge this distinction by limiting the autonomy and diagnostic and treatment choices of individuals who potentially threaten others.

Numerical analysis of the SIS infectious disease model with spatial heterogeneity

International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow
Purpose The susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) infectious disease models without spatial heterogeneity have limited applications, and the numerical simulation without considering models’ global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions might ...

A vaccine emergency—when to overrule parental refusal of vaccination at birth for prevention of vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus?

Archives of Disease in Childhood
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a potentially chronic infection that can be transmitted from mother to child with the risk of developing cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Probable Vertical Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2020
Background: To date, although neonatal infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronovirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been described, none of these have been proven to be the result of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Nonhuman primate model mirroring human congenital cytomegalovirus infection reveals a spectrum of vertical transmission outcomes

Research Square
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is the leading infectious cause of birth defects worldwide, yet immune determinants of protection to inform maternal vaccine design remain elusive due to the lack of a translational animal model.

An Stochastic Epidemic Model with Two Types of Infectious Diseases and Vertical Transmission

In this paper, a stochastic epidemic model with two different types of infectious diseases that spread through both horizontal and vertical transmission is investigaed. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions and applying Itˆ o’s formula as well as Chebyshev’s inequality, the sufficient conditions for stochastic ultimate boundedness and permanence ...

The utility of IgA antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in early diagnosis of vertically transmitted infection. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Women and Infants Transmission Study Group.

Archives of pediatrics & adolescent medicine, 1996
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) IgA in identifying infected infants at or before 6 months of age among the offspring of HIV-infected mothers.Prospective comparison of anti-HIV IgA measurement performed in 2 different laboratories by 2 different methods with the criterion standard of blood culture ...
