This article reviews research on the evolutionary mechanisms leading to different
transmission modes. Such modes are often under genetic control of the host or
the pathogen, and often in conflict with each other via trade-offs. Transmission
modes may vary among pathogen strains and among host populations.
Evolutionary changes in transmission mode have been inferred through
experimental and phylogenetic studies, including changes in transmission
associated with host shifts and with evolution of the unusually complex life
cycles of many parasites. Understanding the forces that determine the evolution
of particular transmission modes presents a fascinating medley of problems for
which there is a lack of good data and often a lack of conceptual understanding
or appropriate methodologies. Our best information comes from studies that
have been focused on the vertical versus horizontal transmission dichotomy.
With other kinds of transitions, theoretical approaches combining epidemiology
and population genetics are providing guidelines for determining when and
how rapidly new transmission modes may evolve, but these are still in need of
empirical investigation and application to particular cases. Obtaining such
knowledge is a matter of urgency in relation to extant disease threats.
This article is part of the themed issue ‘Opening the black box: re-examining
the ecology and evolution of parasite transmission’.

Mammal assemblage composition predicts global patterns in emerging infectious disease risk
Wang, Yingying X.G.; Matson, Kevin D.; Santini, Luca; Visconti, Piero; Hilbers, Jelle P.; Huijbregts, Mark A.J.; Xu, Yanjie; Prins, Herbert H.T.; Allen, Toph; Huang, Zheng. Y.X.; de Boer, Willem F. (Wiley, 2021)As a source of emerging infectious diseases, wildlife assemblages (and related spatial patterns) must be quantitatively assessed to help identify high-risk locations. Previous assessments have largely focussed on the ... -
Outside-host phage therapy as a biological control against environmental infectious diseases
Merikanto, Ilona; Laakso, Jouni; Kaitala, Veijo (BioMed Central, 2018)Background Environmentally growing pathogens present an increasing threat for human health, wildlife and food production. Treating the hosts with antibiotics or parasitic bacteriophages fail to eliminate diseases that ... -
