  1. 1. Serology as a diagnostic tool for Parascaris spp. in foals – A pilot study

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Agnes Lind af Hageby; [2023]
    Nyckelord :roundworm; Ascariasis; equine; serodiagnostics; indirect ELISA; AsHb; L3-Lung; Ascaris suum; Anthelmintic resistance;

    Sammanfattning : Parascaris spp. are prevalent equine gastrointestinal nematodes that predominantly infect foals. The infection causes impaired welfare and can have a lethal outcome due to complications such as intestinal obstruction. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Development of machine learning models for object identification of parasite eggs using microscopy

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Författare :Joel Larsson; Rasmus Hedberg; [2020]
    Nyckelord :AI; computer; vision; machine; learning; parasite; eggs; soil-transmitted; helminths; neglected; tropical; diseases;

    Sammanfattning : Over one billion people in developing countries are afflicted by parasitic infections caused by soil-transmitted helminths. These infections are treatable with cheap and safe medicine that is widely available. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Egg hatching protocol and an in vitro scoring system in Parascaris univalens larvae after exposure to anthelmintic drugs

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Al Shehnah Dimah; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Parascaris; Equine; Larvae; Anthelminthic Resistance; Hatching; Parascaris univalens; Carvacrol; Thiabendazole; Pyrantel; Ivermectin;

    Sammanfattning : A scaris is a genus of parasitic worms (helminths) found in the small intestine of various mammalian hosts, including Ascaris lumbricoides in humans, Parascaris equorum and P univalens in horses, Ascaris suum in pigs, Toxocara cati in cats and Toxocara canis in dogs. To date, Parascaris spp. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pathogen inactivation and quantitative microbial risk assessment for Peepoo sanitation system, Kibera

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Linnea Eriksson; Lisa Sundberg; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Quantitative microbial risk assessment; ammonia sanitisation; faeces; risk assessment; inactivation model; pathogen; Ascaris; E. coli; Campylobacter; Enterococcus; sanitation system; sanitisation technology;

    Sammanfattning : Unsafe sanitation systems poses a risk for pathogen transmission, wherefore it is important to both inactivate pathogens present in human excreta and conduct safe sanitation systems from use to end-use. The Peepoo toilet, using ammonia sanitisation, have been suggested as a low-cost sanitation solution and is implemented in schools in Kibera, an urban slum in Kenya. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Treatment of faecal sludge from pit latrines and septic tanks using lime and urea : Pathogen die-off with respect to time of storage

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Emma Lindberg; Anna Rost; [2018]
    Nyckelord :faecal sludge; treatment; lime; urea; pathogen inactivation;

    Sammanfattning : The study was made at Lubigi sewage treatment plant in Kampala, Uganda, during February and March 2018. The aim of this master thesis was to treat faecal sludge with two different methods, urea and lime, to investigate the efficiency of the chemicals to inactivate pathogens and to estimate the feasibility and the costs of the treatment.
