  1. 1. Tick-borne diseases in roe deer - seroprevalence, possible cut-off and effects on health

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Matilda Friberg Holm; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Anaplasma phagocytophilum; Borrelia burgdorferi s.l; tick-borne encephalitis virus; roe deer; Capreolus capreolus; tick-borne pathogens;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the interaction between roe deer and pathogens could potentially help us improve the health in both roe deer and humans. Here, I focused on broadening our basic understanding about three specific tick-borne pathogens, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Impact of rainfall on East Coast Fever in cattle at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Nikitta Afonso; [2022]
    Nyckelord :East Coast Fever; ECF; Theileria Parva; tick-borne disease; Kenya; cattle; precipitation; oxpecker;

    Sammanfattning : Weather conditions commonly have a large impact on tick-borne diseases as it affects the abundance of the tick vector. The cattle disease East Coast Fever (ECF) is no exception. Rainfall particularly seems to play an important role in the transmission of ECF. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Henrik Johansen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :wood lemming; Myopus schisticolor; disease; virus; pathogens; mass mortality; orthohantavirus; pan-orthohantavirus; somatic index; spleen index;

    Sammanfattning : Like many other rodent species, the wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) exhibits cycles with large population peaks but unlike most other European rodents, these peaks are frequently followed by mass mortality. It is largely unknown what pathogens wood lemmings carry and if pathogens could affect their population dynamics. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Species identification and pathogen detection by FLUIDIGM, a high-throughput PCR technique in ticks collected from northern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Phimphanit Choklikitumnuey; [2020]
    Nyckelord :ticks; tick-borne diseases; fluidigm;

    Sammanfattning : Due to the environmental climate changes, northern Sweden is potentially a geographical area where new tick species could become established and introduce along with them new tick-borne pathogens. High-throughput real-time PCR, FLUIDIGM, was selected to perform the pathogen detection in this study. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The direct and indirect relation between ungulates on small mammals

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Michael Wentzel; [2020]
    Nyckelord :small mammals; ungulates; vegetation cover; food competition; path analysis; direct; indirect; canopy cover; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Ungulates are increasing in Europe, including Sweden and can cause changes to forest structure and forest-dwelling animals. This study is focused on the relation between various ungulate species and small mammal abundance in Swedish forests, through the alteration of ground vegetation cover and directly through food competition.
