#REDIRECT [[Vertical transmission]]
'''Vertical transmission''' refers to transmission of an [[infection]], such as [[HIV]], [[hepatitis B]], or [[hepatitis C]], from mother to child during the [[perinatal]] period, the period immediately before and after birth.

Vertical transmission tends to evolve benign [[symbiosis]]. It is therefore a critical concept for [[evolutionary medicine]].
