Transovarial and transstadial transmission of the Ixodes tick. Transstadial transmission is the persistence of a symbiont or pathogen in an organism from one life stage ("stadium") to the next, such as larva to nymph to adult. [1] [2] [3] This type of transmission is typically observed in insects.
The disease is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a type of bacterium that is primarily spread to humans by American dog ticks, Rocky Mountain wood ticks, and brown dog ticks. [4] Rarely the disease is spread by blood transfusions. [4] Diagnosis in the early stages is difficult. [5]

Transovarial or transovarian transmission (transmission from parent to offspring via the ovaries) occurs in certain arthropod vectors as they transmit pathogens from parent to offspring. [1] This process, used by a wide variety of parasites, is also known as vertical transmission. [2]
The new "FLiRT" COVID-19 variants, including KP.3 and KP.2, are spreading in the United States. Will there be a summer surge? Experts discuss transmission, symptoms, and vaccines.
Ticks carry various debilitating diseases therefore, ticks may assist in controlling animal populations and preventing overgrazing. [71] Ticks can transmit an array of infectious diseases that affect humans and other animals. [72] Ticks that carry zoonotic pathogens often tend to have a wide host range. The infective agents can be present not ...
The improper usage of personal protective equipment by researchers and zookeeper staff is the most common method of transmission of COVID-19 from humans to gorillas. Properly using personal protective equipment is one of the best ways to prevent COVID-19 and other transmittable diseases from infecting gorillas in captivity and the wild.
