2. 1. Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Sweden : An emerging tick-borne human pathogen

   Author : Lisa Labbé Sandelin; Björn Olsen; Jonas Waldenström; Per-Eric Lindgren; Ivar Tjernberg; Lars Hagberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia; Tick-borne Infections; Transfusion-transmitted infections; Bacterial Zoonotic infections; Blood Donors; Immunosuppression; Infectious Diseases; Emerging; Blood Safety; Bird Migration; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

   Abstract : Neoehrlichia mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne human pathogen, causing neoehrlichiosis in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals. It targets the vascular endothelium, leading to thromboembolic and vascular events, but can also pass without symptoms. READ MORE

4. 2. Bacterial infections in dogs with special reference to urinary tract infections, surgical site infections and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

   Author : Ulrika Windahl; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : An increase in antimicrobial resistance in canine bacterial pathogens, including multidrug-resistance, has been reported worldwide. Increasing antimicrobial resistance is of concern, not only as it complicates therapy in dogs, but also as it is a public health problem when the pathogens are zoonotic, or the location of resistance genes enables transfer between bacteria of animal and human origin.

5. 3. Mycobacterium avium infections in children

   Author : Johanna Thegerström; Björn Olsen; Britt-Inger Marklund; Jan Ernerudh; Leif Kirsebom; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Mycobacterium avium belongs to a group of over 130 species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) or environmental mycobacteria. The subspecies Mycobacterium avium avium was originally described as the causative agent of bird tuberculosis, but was later found to cause disease also in humans. READ MORE

6. 4. Epidemiology and population structure of Campylobacter jejuni and related organisms in wild birds

   Author : Jonas Waldenström; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; epidemiology; Campylobacter lari; population structure; Helicobacter canadensis; Ecology; Parasitology human and animal ; Animal ecology; Djurekologi; Parasitologi människa och djur ; migration; Ekologi; wild birds; Sweden; Campylobacter jejuni;

   Abstract : Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes to bacterial gastroenteritis in the industrialised world. Also other species of the Campylobacter genus give rise to human infections. C. jejuni occurs in many different animal hosts and can be isolated from water sources. READ MORE

7. 5. Host-pathogen interactions between Francisella tularensis and Drosophila melanogaster

   Author : Malin Vonkavaara; Svenja Stöven; Ingrid Faye; Umeå universitet; []
