2. 1. Ehrlichia in animals and humans

   Author : Anneli Bjöersdorff; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; seroprevalence; humans; animals; granulocytic; ehrlichiosis; Ehrlichia phagocytophila; tick-borne; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Ehrlichia phagocytophila is a tick-borne pathogen of domestic animals, which has recently been acknowledged also as a human pathogen. It is a strictly intracellular bacterium, infecting granulocytes of the host, sometimes resulting in clinical disease - granulocytic ehrlichiosis - with manifestations ranging from mild flu-like conditions to severe infections with multi-organ failure and death.

4. 2. Bringing home animals : Final-stage Jomon and Okhotsk Culture food technologies

   Author : Aripekka Junno; Peter Jordan; Sven Isaksson; Hirofumi Kato; Daan Raemaekers; Ann-Louise Schallin; Marianne Skandfer; Ben Fitzhugh; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi; Scientific Archaeology;

   Abstract : In this thesis, organic residues preserved in ancient pottery are used to reconstruct diversity andchange in the foodways of Late Holocene hunter-gatherer communities in coastal northern Hokkaido(1750 BCE–1250 CE). The Late Holocene period of this region is very dynamic, and characterised by numerous migrations and cultural replacements. READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic Analysis of Quantitative Traits Using Domestic Animals : A Candidate Gene and Genome Scanning Approach

   Author : Hee-Bok Park; Leif Andersson; Stefan Marklund; Robert Fredricksson; Holger Luthman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Domestication; horse; pig; chicken; quantitative traits; candidate gene; genome scan; PRKAG3; MC4R; selection experiment; growth; correlated response; metabolic disorders; Quantitative Trait Loci; linkage; single nucleotide polymorphisms; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

   Abstract : Domestication has led to genetic changes that affect quantitative traits in farm animals. Both candidate gene analysis using association tests and genome scans based on linkage analysis have been performed to understand the molecular basis underlying quantitative genetic variation in horses, pigs and chickens.

6. 4. Epidemiological studies on multiple myeloma

   Author : Mikael Eriksson; Lennart Hardell; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multiple myeloma; epidemiology; farming; domestic animals; phenoxyacetic adds; DDT; rheumatoid arthritis; familial factors;

   Abstract : Multiple myeloma is a painful and uncurable malignant disease with an increasing incidence and mortality in several countries, e.g., Sweden. Some factors are suspected to be of aetiological significance, such as ionising radiation and chronic antigenic stimulation in certain inflammatory diseases. READ MORE

7. 5. Bioinformatic screening for candidate mutations underlying phenotypic traits in domestic animals

   Author : Shumaila Sayyab; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Domestic animals represent excellent model organisms for gene mapping and identification of mutations underlying phenotypic traits. Humans have selected spontaneous mutations in farm and companion animals since they were domesticated and this has resulted in large phenotypic variation among different breeds. READ MORE
