2. 21. The impact of viral vaccines in immunosuppressed and at-risk individuals

   Author : Anja Rosdahl; Torbjörn Norén; Helena Hervius Askling; Sara Cajander; Leonardus (Leo) Visser; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vaccine; Vaccine failure; Immunocompromised host; Hepatitis A; Tick borne encephalitis; SARS-CoV-2; Innate immunity; Adaptive immunity;

   Abstract : Vaccines have saved millions of lives, but for some individuals with a defective immune system the protection may be uncertain. This thesis aims to assess the immune response following viral vaccines in immunocompromised patients and in other groups at-risk. READ MORE

4. 22. Factors in the environment, viruses and host responses affecting the epidemiology of tick-borne encephalitis virus in Northern Europe

   Author : Elina Tonteri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) circulates mainly in the Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus tick species, which serve both as hosts and vectors for the virus. Wild rodents are considered as bridges for non-viremic transmission between the ticks, which is the most important maintenance factor for TBEV. READ MORE

5. 23. Neoehrlichiosis - latent infection of endothelium and immune defense

   Author : Linda Wass; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia mikurensis; neoehrlichiosis; human; infectious disease; endothelial cell; T cell;

   Abstract : This thesis is a study of the tick-borne pathogen Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis that causes the infectious disease neoehrlichiosis in humans. The disease affects both individuals with competent and suppressed immune defense with the majority of the affected being immunosuppressed. READ MORE

6. 24. Lyme Neuroborreliosis - Diagnosis and Treatment

   Author : Daniel Bremell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lyme disease; Lyme borreliosis; Lyme neuroborreliosis; Borrelia burgdorferi; facial palsy; doxycycline; chemokine CXCL13; cell count;

   Abstract : Lyme neuroborreliosis, the infection of the nervous system by the tick-borne bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is a common infection in the temperate parts of the Northern hemisphere. Manifestations of the disease include facial palsy, radicular pain, sensory disturbances, and occasionally CNS symptoms such as confusion and paraparesis. READ MORE

7. 25. Vaccine responses after chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies

   Author : Sigrun Einarsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccination; chemotherapy; stem cell transplantation; antibodies; tetanus; diphtheria; polio; Tick-borne encephalitis TBE ; SARS-CoV-2;

   Abstract : The prevention of infections in patients with hematological malignancies is important given the inherent immune deficiency associated with these diseases and the immunosuppressive effects of treatment. This thesis investigated the efficacy of vaccines against various pathogens among patients with hematological disease receiving chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation, including the longevity of vaccine responses.
