The second biopsy sample collected from the control lambs approximately three months later showed PrPd in two of five lateral transmission controls.
It has recently been shown that Chronic Wasting Disease in mule deer in the USA is transmitted laterally not maternally, but in that study the source of contamination leading to lateral transmission was not identified and could have been placenta [ 27].
In biological systems, lateral transmission occurs at the bacterial level and even among plants, but it is rare among higher-level organisms.
While adaptations in biological systems are usually passed on in a strict line of descent from parent to offspring, culturally produced objects are also subject to what is called lateral transmission.
History can also be expected to play a role in the degree to which evolution is affected by vertical versus lateral transmission processes.
However, there are many complicating factors as well, particularly the human penchant for borrowing and resurrecting old ideas resulting in extensive blending and hybridization (lateral transmission).

A novel group of gammaretrovirus-like CfERV with high similarity to HERV-Fc1 was found to have potential for active retrotransposition and possibly lateral transmissions between dog and human as a result of close interactions during at least 10.000 years.
The presence of median vectors - that correspond to a hypothetical (in theory ancestral) or unsampled sequences - connecting the Zaprionus and melanogaster sequences suggests that the HT events occurred in the ancestors of the sequences sampled, indicating that the lateral transmissions were not recent.
