Abstract
Let and be transverse two dimensional foliations with Gromov hyperbolic leaves in a closed 3-manifold whose fundamental group is not solvable, and let be the one dimensional foliation obtained by intersection. We show that is \emph{leafwise quasigeodesic} in and if and only if the foliation induced by in the universal cover of any leaf of or has Hausdorff leaf space. We end up with a discussion on the hypothesis of Gromov hyperbolicity of the leaves.
