 note = {Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an ongoing public health concern. Despite many efforts, STIs have not been eradicated. 
Most STIs are infected through “horizontal” sexual contact and “vertical” mother-to-child transmission. 
We therefore need to explore the mathematical relationship between horizontal and vertical transmissions, which is necessary for the strategic eradication of STIs. 
Here, we constructed a simple model to demonstrate the infection dynamics of STIs with vertical transmission. 
We proposed a new formulation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for STIs over generations, 
and showed that vertical transmission exerts a smaller effect on the R0 than horizontal transmission. 
We also performed agent-based simulations to validate our theoretical predictions., Applied Mathematics and Computation, 348, pp.363-370; 2019},
