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 HealthSammanfattning : 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
2. The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : 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
3. A statistical approach to understand Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever prevalence in Pakistan
Magister-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Internationell hälsaSammanfattning : Geographically, Pakistan is in the western part of south Asia at about 24-37 °N latitudes and62-75 °E longitudes. Livestock and agriculture are two major sectors in Pakistan and play animportant role in the country economy. LÄS MER
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 HealthSammanfattning : 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
5. Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu latu in rodents from two areas with varying wild ungulate densities in Southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : On a global scale, zoonotic vector-borne diseases pose an increasing threat towards human health. In Europe, the haemotophagous ectoparasite sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) acts as a pathogen vector for diseases like tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease with increasing annual incidences during the last decades.
