This first trial was a proof-of-principle study, establishing that these mosquitoes are viable and capable of transmitting malaria to volunteers at least as efficiently as mosquitoes reared under conventional conditions.
Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a unique tumor that is transmitted by viable tumor cells [ 1] through injured mucosa and skin.
Corning's telco roots began in 1970 when three Corning researchers invented the first commercially viable optical fiber that would transmit voice and data 10 to 100 times faster than copper wire, depending on the distance covered.
These data, in conjunction with previous case reports (3 – 5 ), suggest that potentially viable Bartonella organisms may be transmitted to humans after a dog bite.
To focus on cells with only one copy of a given allele, we omitted heterozygous diploids from analyses of all alleles and omitted heterozygous aneuploids when analyzing transmission of alleles on chromosome 3. Surprisingly, we found that in all cases, the Sk allele was transmitted to more viable spores than the Sp allele.
Thereafter, several experiments were conducted to confirm that cowbirds had viable S. neurona that could be transmitted to an intermediate host and cause disease.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), an essentially airborne pathogen transmitted via aerosols remains viable while in the soil, outside its hosts for extended periods of time.
As regulators of G-protein signaling, class I phosducin-like proteins, which are involved in transmission of light signals in higher eukaryotes [ 44], represent viable candidates as nodes between the pathways transmitting light and nutrient signals.
Resistant viruses were transmitted readily and were as viable and pathogenic as oseltamivir-sensitive viruses (OSVs) (3, 4 ).
Moreover, they can transmit from dead fish and remain viable in sterilized water for months (Pulkkinen et al. 2010).
