  2. 6. Ligation-mediated Molecular Analysis of Influenza Subtypes, Splicing and Protein Glycosylation

    Author : Tim Conze; Ulf Landegren; Mats Nilsson; Ola Söderberg; Jörn Glökler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ligase; proximity ligation; gastric cancer; glycosylation; alternative splicing; avian influenza; padlock probe; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Binder-based assays are employed throughout the life sciences. Powerful signal amplification techniques have enabled detection of very rare molecule species diluted in simple buffers. Unspecific binding of primary binders leads to increased background in more complex samples. READ MORE

  4. 7. Prescription – Pollution – Poo – Pandemics - Priorities : Neuraminidase Inhibitors from an Environmental Resistance Development Perspective

    Author : Marie Nykvist; Josef D. Järhult; Mikael Leijon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Influenza A virus; neuraminidase inhibitor; resistance; environmental; Mallard; zanamivir; avian influenza;

    Abstract : The natural Influenza A virus (IAV) host is waterfowl. Human IAV is treated with neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), which are stockpiled worldwide in case of an IAV pandemic. As the drugs escape regular waste water treatment, they can be detected in river waters. READ MORE

  5. 8. Pathobiology of avian influenza in wild bird species

    Author : Caroline Bröjer; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Avian influenza viruses, especially highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), affect a wide range of species, including humans and have thus become a major concern for veterinary medicine and public health. A HPAIV-H5N1 belonging to clade 2.2, originally from South East Asia, spread across Eurasia and reached Sweden in 2006. READ MORE

  6. 9. Univariate and Multivariate Surveillance of Outbreaks

    Author : Linus Schiöler; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; change-points; expected delay; exponential family; false alarms; generalised likelihood; inference principles; influenza; MEWMA; monitoring; multivariate; ordered regression; performance metrics; outbreak; predictive value; subjective judgment; spatial; statistical models; surveillance; tularemia;

    Abstract : In many areas there is a need to monitor observations in order to detect changes in the underlying processes as quickly as possible. The theory of statistical surveillance provides the possibility of making optimal decisions about whether a change has occurred or not based on the data available at the time of the decision.

  7. 10. Eco-immunological studies of innate immunity in Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)

    Author : Anu S. Helin; Jonas Waldenström; Edwin Veldhuizen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Avian β-defensins AvBDs ; Avian gene expression; Host-pathogen interactions; Innate immunity; Mallard Anas platyrhynchos ; Myxovirus resistance gene Mx ; Retinoic acid inducible gene 1 RIG-I ; Avian β-defensins AvBD ; Genuttryck; Gräsand Anas platyrhynchos ; Immunförsvar; Immungener; Myxovirus resistant gene Mx ; Patogen; Retinoic acid inducible gene 1 RIG-I ; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises two sections, both of which explore eco-immunology of the innate immune system of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). The innate immune system serves a pivotal role as the first line of defense against invading pathogens, and is comprised of physical and chemical barriers. READ MORE
