1. Tales of the flying earth: The effect of host flyways on the phylogeny of shorebird lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera)
Abstract : On the wings, bodies, and heads of most birds there are lice. These lice spend their whole lives on their host, with the exception of the few lice that get the opportunity to transfer from one host to another, typically when the hosts come into physical contact with each other. READ MORE

2. Bartonella Infections in Sweden: : Clinical Investigations and Molecular Epidemiology
Abstract : Characteristically, in infections that are caused by the zoonotic pathogen Bartonella naturally infected reservoir hosts are asymptomatic, where infected incidental, non-natural, hosts develop symptomatic disease. Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a well known example. READ MORE

3. Lifestyle and Genome Evolution in Vector-Borne Bacteria : A Comparison of Three Bartonella Species
Abstract : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

4. Immunopathogenesis of relapsing fever borreliosis
Abstract : Relapsing fever (RF) is caused by different species of Borrelia transmitted by soft ticks or by the human body louse. Illness is characterized by reappearing peaks of high concentrations of spirochetes in blood, concordant with fever peaks separated by asymptomatic periods. READ MORE

5. Pathobiology of African relapsing fever Borrelia
Abstract : Relapsing fever (RF) is a disease caused by tick- or louse-transmitted bacteria of the genus Borrelia. It occurs worldwide but is most common in Africa where it is one of the most prevalent bacterial diseases. The main manifestation is a recurring fever which coincides with massive numbers of bacteria in the blood. READ MORE
