The Ecological Significance and Implications of Transovarial Transmission among the Vector-Borne Bunyaviruses: A Review
27 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Transovarial transmission (TOT) is a widespread and efficient process through which pathogens can be passed between generations of arthropod vectors. Many species within the order Bunyavirales utilize TOT as a means of persisting within the environment when classical horizontal transmission is not possible due to ecological constraints. The purpose of this review is to summarize previous findings regarding the...
