  2. 1. Genome and transcriptome studies of the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Giardia intestinalis

    Author : Oscar Franzén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Trypanosoma cruzi and Giardia intestinalis are two human pathogens and protozoan parasites responsible for the diseases Chagas disease and giardiasis, respectively. Both diseases cause su ering and illness in several million individuals. READ MORE

  4. 2. The aquatic microbial food web and occurence of predation-resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria, such as Francisella tularensis

    Author : Johanna Thelaus; Agneta Andersson; Mats Forsman; Farooq Azam; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteria; protozoa; ecology; predation; nutrient-availability; microbial food web; model; predation-resistance; Francisella; reservoir; biofilm formation; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi;

    Abstract : All natural aquatic systems harbour a vast variety of microorganisms. In the aquatic microbial food web, the larger microorganisms (i.e. protozoa) feed on the smaller microorganisms (i. READ MORE

  5. 3. Methods and applications in DNA sequence alignments

    Author : Ellen Sherwood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : DNA sequence alignment; CNV; Chicken; Trypanosoma cruzi.;

    Abstract : DNA sequence alignment is one of the most common bioinformatics tasks. Alignment analysis for eukaryotic genomes is challenging because the datasets are large. Repeat sequences also make the analysis difficult. This thesis describes new methods which we have developed for DNA sequence alignment that address these problems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Bioinformatic methods for metagenomics and comparative genetics in veterinary medicine

    Author : Martin Norling; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Good science includes innovation, investigation, and rigor. This thesis’ first study is related to rigor. This study was performed at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Nairobi, as part of the Arbovirus Incidence and Diversity (AVID) project. READ MORE

  7. 5. Identification of new proteins and biological processes in the apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii

    Author : Silvia Botero-Kleiven; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The apicomplexan protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite of humans and animals. Entering its host through the digestive system, it possesses the ability to rapidly disseminate in the body and infect a wide range of tissues and cells. READ MORE
