1. Rule-based machine learning for prediction of Macaca mulatta SIV-vaccination outcome using transcriptome profiles
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskapSammanfattning : One of the reasons, why the development of an effective HIV vaccine remains challenging, is the lack of understanding of potential vaccination-induced protection mechanisms. In the present study, Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) gene expression profiles obtained during vaccination with promising candidate vaccines against Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) were processed with a rule-based supervised machine learning approach to analyze the effects of vaccine combination treatment.

2. Guarding crops against the ‘protected pest’ : interactions among farmers, monkeys, and conservation staffs in a nature reserve of Guangxi, China
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentSammanfattning : Human-wildlife conflict has become a global challenge. Crop damage by wildlife can cause significant economic loss and primates such as monkeys can cause particular problem to farmers. LÄS MER
3. Enteric pathogens of zoonotic concern in selected non-human primates in Sri Lanka
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesSammanfattning : In order to understand the dynamics of zoonotic disease transmission in the animal-human interface, a One Health approach is imperative. This study investigated the occurrence of the zoonotic pathogens Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp. LÄS MER
4. Olfactory discrimination performance and longterm odor memory in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : Behavioral evidence suggests that Asian elephants strongly rely on their sense of smell in a variety of contexts including foraging and social communication. Using a food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were tested on their olfactory discrimination ability with 1-aliphatic alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones, n-carboxylic acids and with a set of twelve enantiomeric odor pairs.
