Evidence for high levels of vertical transmission in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2009 Toxoplasma gondii is a highly ubiquitous and prevalent parasite. Despite the cat being the only definitive host, it is found in almost all geographical areas and warm blooded animals. Three routes of transmission are recognised: ingestion of oocysts shed

Intrasperm vertical symbiont transmission [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Diverse organisms are commonly associated with bacterial endosymbionts, which often affect hosts’ biology and phenotypes in a variety of ways. The majority of these symbionts are generally present in the host cell cytoplasm and maternally transmitted through host generations.

Strong Discontinuities in the Complex Photonic Band Structure of Transmission Metallic Gratings [PDF]
, 2000 Complex photonic band structures (CPBS) of transmission metallic gratings with rectangular slits are shown to exhibit strong discontinuities that are not evidenced in the usual energetic band structures.

Maternal Leishmania infantum infection status has significant impact on leishmaniasis in offspring. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 Visceral Leishmaniasis is a deadly disease caused by Leishmania infantum, endemic in more than 98 countries across the globe. Although the most common means of transmission is via a sand fly vector, there is growing evidence that vertical transmission ...

Gut mutualists can persist in host populations despite low fidelity of vertical transmission
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2022 Humans harbour diverse microbial communities, and this interaction has fitness consequences for hosts and symbionts. Understanding the mechanisms that preserve host–symbiont association is an important step in studying co-evolution between humans and ...

Microbiology Australia, 2012 In this issue of Microbiology Australia, the guest editors Martyn Jeggo and John Mackenzie have assembled an excellent series of contributions around the important concept of "One Health". This is a relatively new label for what is essentially a more holistic view of health that has been around for a very long time.

High levels of congenital transmission of toxoplasma gondii in longitudinal and cross-sectional studies on sheep farms provides evidence of vertical transmission in ovine hosts [PDF]
, 2005 Recent research suggests that vertical transmission may play an important role in sustaining Toxoplasma gondii infection in some species. We report here that congenital transmission occurs at consistently high levels in pedigree Charollais and outbred ...
