    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus; high-throughput sequencing; Staphylococcus auereus; multiple displacement amplification; non melanoma skin cancer;

    Abstract : The identification of infectious agents in cancer has been one of the most rewarding endeavors in cancer research. Currently about 20% of the global cancer burden is linked to an infection. A common characteristic of virus-induced cancer is an increased incidence in immunosuppressed patients, presumably because of impaired host control of virus. READ MORE

  4. 2. Emerging tick-borne pathogens: on the ecology of multiple infections in ticks and reservoir hosts

    Author : Martin Andersson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Borrelia afzelii; ’Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’; bank vole; Myodes glareolus; multiple infection; tick-borne diseases; vector-borne diseases; competition; facilitation; qPCR;

    Abstract : Most animals will encounter several more or less severe infectious diseases during their lifetime, and simultaneous infections with more than one pathogen, or several different strains of the same pathogen, are common in natural populations. Ticks transmit a wide variety of different pathogens and can also be simultaneously infected with more than one pathogen. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and in particular Staphylococcus epidermidis have emerged as major pathogens primarily causing nosocomial infections in patients with indwelling medical devices. These infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant strains of S. epidermidis (MDRSE). READ MORE
