| duplex transmission | The passage of impulses in both directions through a nerve trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| iatrogenic transmission | Transmission of infectious agents due to medical interference (e.g., transmission by contaminated needles). (05 Mar 2000) |
| indirect transmission | <epidemiology> Transmission of a parasite through an indirect life cycle. (05 Dec 1998) |
| transmission | 1. <microbiology, physiology> A passage or transfer, as of a disease from one individual to another or of neutral impulses from one neuron to another. 2. <genetics> The communication of inheritable qualities from parent to offspring (18 Nov 1997) |
| transmission breakpoint | <epidemiology> A critical average worm burden below which the mating frequency is too low to maintain a dioecious parasite species. (05 Dec 1998) |
| transmission electron microscopy | <technique> Those forms of electron microscopy in which electrons are transmitted through the object to be imaged, suffering energy loss by diffraction and to a small extent by absorption. Acronym: TEM (18 Nov 1997) |
| transmission microscope | <instrument, optics> A microscope in which the image-forming rays pass through (are transmitted by) the specimen being observed. Refers to both light and electron microscopes. (05 Aug 1998) |
| transmission threshold | <epidemiology> Occurs for a parasite when the basic reproductive rate Ro is equal to 1. Below this threshold level the disease is unable to maintain itself within the host population. Typically, for directly transmitted parasites there is a transmission threshold for the host population size. (05 Dec 1998) |
| transovarial transmission | Passage of parasites or infective agents from the maternal body to eggs within the ovaries; commonly used to describe certain arthropods, to explain the ability of larvae of the next generation to transmit disease pathogens, as with the infection of larval mites or ticks with rickettsiae or viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transstadial transmission | Passage of a microbial parasite, such as a virus or rickettsia, from one developmental stage (stadium) of the host to its subsequent stage or stages, particularly as seen in mites. See: transovarial transmission. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical | 1. Of or pertaining to the vertex; situated at the vertex, or highest point; directly overhead, or in the zenith; perpendicularly above one. "Charity . . . Is the vertical top of all religion." (Jer. Taylor) 2. Perpendicular to the plane of the horizon; upright; plumb; as, a vertical line. <astronomy> Vertical angle, an angle measured on a vertical circle, called an angle of elevation, or altitude, when reckoned from the horizon upward, and of depression when downward below the horizon. <botany> Vertical anthers The plane passing through the point of sight, and perpendicular to the ground plane, and also to the picture. Vertical sash, a sash sliding up and down. Cf. French sash, under 3d Sash. Vertical steam engine, a steam engine having the crank shaft vertically above or below a vertical cylinder. Origin: Cf. F. Vertical. See Vertex. 1. Vertical position; zenith. 2. <mathematics> A vertical line, plane, or circle. Prime vertical, Prime vertical dial. See Prime. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| vertical axis | In dentistry, the line around which the working side condyle rotates in the horizontal plane during mandibular movement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical classification | <zoology> Classification which stresses common descent and tends to unite ancestral and descendant groups of a phyletic line in a single higher taxon, separating them from contemporaneous taxa having reached a similar grade of evolutionary change. Compare: Horizontal classification. (09 Jan 1998) |
| vertical dimension | The length of the face determined by the distance of separation of jaws. Occlusal vertical dimension (ovd or vdo) or contact vertical dimension is the lower face height with the teeth in centric occlusion. Rest vertical dimension (vdr) is the lower face height measured from a chin point to a point just below the nose, with the mandible in rest position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vertical displacement event | Disruption which occurs because plasma is not adequately stabilised against vertical motions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vertical transmission |

| vertical transmission |
Vertical transmission occurs when a parent conveys an infection to its unborn offspring, as occurs in syphilis in man or in many arboviruses of arthropods.
