2. 16. 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. 17. Essays in Environmental Management and Economics: Public Health, Risk and Strategic Environmental Assessment

   Author : Daniel Slunge; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; risk; risk perception; public health; strategic environmental assessment; institutions; governance; willingness to pay; protective behaviour; vector-borne diseases; ticks; TBE; tick-borne encephalitis; Lyme borreliosis; climate change;

   Abstract : Abstract Current large-scale environmental and climate change leads to the emergence of new and potentially dramatic risks for individuals and societies. The welfare costs associated with these risks largely depend on our ability to take them into account in decision-making and adapt to new circumstances. READ MORE

5. 18. Adaptive immune responses to tick-borne encephalitis virus and SARS-CoV-2

   Author : Renata Varnaitė; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and SARS-CoV-2 are two unrelated viruses that currently cause substantially different public health burdens and distinct pathologies in humans. TBEV infection leads to neurological symptoms of varying severity, while SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the respiratory tract. READ MORE

6. 19. Genetic vaccination against acute viral disease

   Author : Marina N Fleeton; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Semliki Forest virus; Alphavirus. Influenza A virus; DNA vaccines. Influenza vaccine. Respiratory Syncytial Viruses; Louping Ill. Flavivirus Infections;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the development of recombinant vaccines based on the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) expression system. Immunisation of mice with recombinant virus particles, a layered DNA/RNA plasmid vector, and recombinant self-replicating RNA were carried out and the protective effect of these recombinant vaccines against viral challenge were examined.

   Abstract : The spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia helvetica, is an endemic tick-borne bacteria in Sweden. It causes infections in humans, manifested as aneruptive fever, headache, arthralgia and myalgia, and sometimes an inoculation eschar or a rash. There have also been two known cases of human infections with R. felis in Sweden. READ MORE
