Amphipod crustaceans, Gammarus duebeni populations are host to microsporidian parasites (Octosporea effeminans and Nosema spp), which transmitted transovarially from mother to offspring via gametes. This parasites can feminize the host, turning genetic males into phenotypic females. The efficiency of parasite transmission to new hosts is a key factor for the relationship between vertically transmitted parasites and their hosts. Vertically transmitted parasites must overcome two bottlenecks in order to ensure their survival through successive host generations. First, the parasite must be present in the egg; secondly, the parasite must find its way to the transmitting germline tissue of infected host. We propose to study several mathematical models. This paper will be discuss transmission mechanism to germline. Some of the model will use branching process theory. |
