Vertical transmission in animals does happen. It means a disease, condition or trait is transmitted from one generation to the next. This might be genetic or by contact, e.g. infection passing through the placenta.

The difference between vertical and horizontal transmission of plant viruses is that?

The correct reponse is that vertical transmission is transmission of a virus from a parent plant to its progeny, and horizontal transmission is one plant spreading the virus to another plant.

How are viral infections transmitted?

Viral transmitted from one host to another via horizontal transmission and vertical transmission. Vertical transmission: transfer of virus from mother to fetus/baby. The virus able to cross the placenta and multiply in the fetus. one good example of vertical transmission is Rubella virus which results in death of fetus or congenital Rubella syndrome (CRS). Horizontal transmission: transmission of virus between different individuals. This type transmission takes place during sexual activity, needle sharing, exchange of saliva by mouth, arthropod biting, inhalation of aerosol generated (talking, coughing, sneezing) by infected person and ingestion of contaminated food/water.


How is rubella transferred?

It can be transmitted via airborne droplets, or by vertical transmission (across the placenta from mother to baby).


What are the differences between horizontal and vertical polarization in terms of their impact on signal transmission?

Horizontal and vertical polarization refer to the orientation of electromagnetic waves. Horizontal polarization means the waves are parallel to the ground, while vertical polarization means they are perpendicular to the ground. The impact on signal transmission is that horizontal polarization is better for long-distance communication and can penetrate obstacles better, while vertical polarization is more suitable for shorter distances and can minimize interference from other signals.

Vertical transmission of HIV?

This means mother to baby, before or after birth. This is the main reason why infected women should never get pregnant.


Why circular polarisation is not used for mw sdh or mw pdh radio backbone transmission link?

Linear vertical or horizontal polarization is normally used in microwave transmission. Reasons: Circularly polarized antennas are more complex and more expensive, because they are actually double polarized antennas, i.e. a combination of horizontal and vertical polarizations. Rain attenuation is lowest when the polarization is vertical. Therefore longer hops can be built if circular polarization is avoided.
