Vertical transmission of Homalodisca vitripennis reovirus (HoVRV) from glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar)) females to progeny occurred in laboratory assays at frequencies too low (2.6%-15.4%) to account for HoVRV incidence (90-100%) in field populations resident in citrus. Because citrus is immune to HoVRV and no plant host is known, horizontal transmission of HoVRV from insect-to-insect was evaluated. Exposure of colony-reared, virus-free test nymphs to HoVRV-infected source adults held in the same cage for 10 days on virus-immune cowpea resulted in HoVRV transmission (13.3%-30.7%) to test nymphs. HoVRV was not transmitted when exposure was indirect and required passive movement of virions through the xylem of immune citrus seedlings. Collectively, these results demonstrate direct insect-to-insect horizontal transmission of HoVRV, providing a plausible explanation for high incidence of HoVRV in GWSS field populations in the absence of efficient vertical transmission or a plant host.

Background: High-temperature environment can cause acute kidney injury affecting renal filtration function. To study the mechanism of renal injury caused by heat stress through activates TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway by disrupting the filtration barrier in broiler chickens. The temperature of broilers in the TN group was maintained at 23 ± 1 °C, and the HS group temperature was maintained at 35 ± 1℃ from the age of 21 days, and the high temperature was 10 h per day, and one broiler from each replicate group at the age of 35 and 42 days was selected for blood sampling, respectively.

Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer, RA) is the etiological agent of duck serositis, an acute multisystemic disease in ducks that is globally distributed and causes serious economic losses in the duck industry. Despite exhibiting multidrug resistance, the transmission mechanism of its antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remains incompletely identified.

Background: Invasive candidiasis is a predominant mycosis in hospitalized patients, and is the species most often responsible for this infection. Most candidiasis cases originate from endogenous mycobiota; therefore, strains can easily be transferred among hospital patients and personnel. The aim of this study was to assess the possible horizontal transmission of in patients with severe COVID-19 infection requiring hospitalization in the intensive care unit.

Salmonella is a common foodborne pathogen found in poultry production systems. Contaminated poultry products are a major source of human salmonellosis. Understanding the conditions of contamination and the genetic relationships of Salmonella in poultry production is necessary to develop effective interventions measures for controlling Salmonella transmission.

The horizontal transmission of endosymbionts between hosts and parasitoids plays a crucial role in biological control, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the dynamics of horizontal transfer of (Ccep) from the rice moth, , to its parasitoid, . Through PCR detection and phylogenetic analysis, we demonstrated the presence of identical Ccep strains in both host and parasitoid populations, providing evidence for natural horizontal transmission.
