Vertical transmission

The vertical transmission refers to the transfer of genetic material or of pathogens from an ancestor to a progeny .

properties

Vertical gene transfer

Vertical transmission describes, among other things, the passing on of genetic material to offspring ( vertical gene transfer ), including e.g. B. the passing on of chromosomes that have genetic defects . In bacteria, the inheritance of DNA to offspring is called vertical transmission, e.g. B. from plasmids . In contrast to vertical transmission, horizontal transmission describes a transmission to organisms that are not ancestors or descendants. Any symbionts are passed on via both mechanisms .

Vertical infection

The vertical transmission of infectious agents includes, among other things, the transmission of pathogens from mother to child during pregnancy ( prepartum ), during the birth process ( peripartum ) or after birth ( postpartum ). Infectious diseases develop in 1 to 1.5% of newborns .
