   Author : Johanna Lindahl; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Japanese encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus in East and South Asia, estimated to cause 60 000 human cases of Japanese encephalitis each year. The main transmission cycle for JEV is via mosquito vectors, mainly Culex species, between pigs and wading birds, the reservoir hosts. READ MORE

4. 2. Evaluating implementation strategies for improved food safety in Vietnam

   Author : Hai Hoang Tuan Ngo; Johanna Lindahl; Mats Målqvist; Hung Nguyen-Viet; Fred Unger; Phuc Pham-Duc; Coen van Wagenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Food safety; Intervention; Pork value chain; Cost of illness; Cost-Benefit analysis; Microbial contamination; Experimental auction; Salmonella;

   Abstract : Pork is the most popular and consumed meat in Vietnam, and the preference among consumers for fresh and “warm” pork makes the traditional pork value chain dominate the pork industry. This thesis assessed microbial contamination in pork, then evaluated the technical and economic aspects of light-touch interventions in improving the safety of pork in the small-scale value chain.

6. 4. The influence of urban livestock-keeping on the epidemiology of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses in Hanoi city of Vietnam

   Author : Long Pham-Thanh; Johanna Lindahl; Åke Lundkvist; Ulf Magnusson; Flavie Goutard; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; urban livestock-keeping; mosquito borne zoonotic flaviviruses; knowledge and practices; vector abundance; risk factors; Hanoi; Vietnam;

   Abstract : In rapid urbanizing cities, the high density of livestock populations in close vicinity to humans, and high mosquito vector abundance have provided suitable conditions for transmission of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses, that cause several million cases of human disease annually. This thesis explores the urban livestock-keeping in Hanoi and its potential influence on the epidemiology of flavivirus infections. READ MORE

7. 5. The risk of antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases in India's dairy value chain, and how we can mitigate the public health threat through interventions
