Lactogenic route: An Alternative Transmission Route of Parasites to Reach a New Host

Abstract

Background/Aim: Lactogenic transmission route is seen in some parasites. Parasites may infect especially newborn offspring via this way. Lactogenic transmission can be occurs both after re-activation of mother’s previous infection during pregnancy perhaps via hormonal changes and depending on some parasites pass through the placental barrier during acute infection of mother in lactation. At the same time the milk is suitable for contamination with several infectious agents including parasites, so it provides becoming infected offspring. Conclusion: In this review, knowledge is given about the laktogenic transmission route seen in parasites.

Galaktojen Yol: Parazitlerin Yeni Bir Konağa Ulaşmasında Alternatif Bulaşma Yolu

Abstract

Özbilgi/Amaç: Galaktojen yol bazı parazitlerde görülen bir bulaşma şeklidir. Parazitler bu yolla özellikle yeni doğan yavruyu enfekte edebilmektedir. Galaktojen bulaşma, hem annede daha önceden şekillenen enfeksiyonun gebelik esnasında, muhtemelen hormonal değişikliklere bağlı olarak re-aktive olması sonrasında hem de annenin laktasyon dönemindeki akut enfeksiyonda bazı parazitlerin plasentayı geçmesi ile şekillenmektedir. Aynı zamanda süt, parazitlerin de dahil olduğu enfeksiyöz ajanlarla kontaminasyona uygun olup yavrunun enfekte olmasını sağlamaktadır. Sonuç: Bu derlemede parazitlerde görülen galaktojen bulaşma hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.

Keywords
