2. 1. Automatic Virus Identification using TEM : Image Segmentation and Texture Analysis

   Author : Gustaf Kylberg; Ida-Maria Sintorn; Gunilla Borgefors; Walter Kropatsch; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; image analysis; image processing; virus identification; transmission electron microscopy; texture analysis; texture descriptors; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Viruses and their morphology have been detected and studied with electron microscopy (EM) since the end of the 1930s. The technique has been vital for the discovery of new viruses and in establishing the virus taxonomy. Today, electron microscopy is an important technique in clinical diagnostics. READ MORE

4. 2. Nucleic acid analysis tools : Novel technologies and biomedical applications

   Author : Iván Hernández-Neuta; Mats Nilsson; Frank Bier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nucleic acid analysis; padlock probes; selector probes; rolling circle amplification; microfluidics; single-molecule detection; digital quantification; fluorescence microscopy; mobile phone microscopy; molecular diagnostics; virology; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Nucleic acids are fundamental molecules of living organisms functioning essentially as the molecular information carriers of life. From how an organism is built to how it responds to external conditions, all of it, can be found in the form of nucleic acid sequences inside every single cell of every life form on earth. READ MORE

5. 3. Dynamics of Coinfection : Complexity and Implications

   Author : Samia Ghersheen; Vladimir Kozlov; Uno Wennergren; Vladimir Tkachev; Åke Brännström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Living beings are always on risk from multiple infectious agents in individual or in groups. Though multiple pathogens' interactions have widely been studied in epidemiology. Despite being well known, the co-existence of these pathogens and their coinfection remained a mystery to be uncovered. READ MORE

6. 4. Influenza A Virus : Spatial analysis of influenza genome trafficking and the evolution of the neuraminidase protein

   Author : Dan Dou; Robert Daniels; Martin Schwemmle; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; IAV; neuraminidase; NA; IAV genome trafficking; viral entry; viral replication; co-infection; antigenic drift; antigenic shift; NA assembly; transmembrane domain; evolution; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are a common infectious agent that seasonally circulates within the human population that causes mild to severe acute respiratory infections. The severity of the infection is often related to how the virus has evolved with respect to the pre-existing immunity in the population. READ MORE

7. 5. Interaction Characteristics of Viral Protease Targets and Inhibitors : Perspectives for drug discovery and development of model systems

   Author : Cynthia F Shuman; Jordan J N Tang; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; viral proteases; biomolecular interactions; kinetics; thermodynamics; biosensors; drug discovery; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Viral proteases are important targets for anti-viral drugs. Discovery of protease inhibitors as anti-viral drugs is aided by an understanding of the interactions between viral protease and inhibitors. This thesis addresses the characterization of protease-inhibitor interactions for application to drug discovery and model system development. READ MORE
