Infection routes

Tuberculous hepatic infections are transmitted pre-/perinatally via the mnbihcal vein or the amniotic fluid maternal placenta tuberculosa is a precondition for both infections. The hepatic artery and the portal vein as well as the hepatopetal lymph vessels serve as postnatal infection routes.

The degree of illness in an individual exposed to trichothecene mycotoxins could be affected by a number of factors, including the nutritional status of the host, liver damage, intestinal infections, route of toxin administration, and stress.

It is paramount to the focus and timing of appropriate biocontrol strategies that pathogens are identified, preferably using experimental infection models that provide information on infection routes and infection dynamics... 

The cellular junctions were shown to consist of high amount of unesterified pectin. Therefore, polygalacturonase activity seems to be a well fitting means to enable an entry into the middle lamella from the intercellular spaces which is not continuous along the infection route towards the rachilla. The outer cellular junctions in epidermal cells were rich in homo-polygalacturonan, too, clearly representing the right conditions for an entry into the anticlinal epidermal walls.

The potential advantages of biocontrol agents compared to antibiotics were discussed by Moriarty (1998), with most attention directed towards the production of inhibitory substances by the beneficial bacterial strains. The possibility of selecting for biocontrol-resistant pathogens must not be underestimated, and it is particularly important to search for strains that express diverse antagonistic properties that may lower the risk of resistance. For example, the ability of some bacteria to adhere to the intestinal epithelium may inhibit the intestinal infection route common to many pathogens (Evelyn, 1996 Gatesoupe, 1999).
