1. Antibiotic resistance gone wild : A One Health perspective on carriage, selection and transmission of Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporinase- and Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
Sammanfattning : Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they came into clinical use during the Second World War in the 1940s. Today, our effective use of antibiotics is under great threat due to emerging antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This thesis addresses the problems of antibiotic resistance from a ”One Health” perspective. LÄS MER
2. Viruses on the wing : evolution and dynamics of influenza A virus in the Mallard reservoir
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the evolution of avian influenza A viruses (IAV), as well as host-pathogen interactions between these viruses and their main reservoir host, the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). IAV is a genetically diverse, multi-host virus and wild birds, particularly dabbling ducks, are the natural reservoir. LÄS MER
3. Cattle Shipments and Disease Spread Modeling
Sammanfattning : Spread of transboundary animal diseases can have large impact on animal welfare, public health and economy. The effects of this include economic losses in terms of lower milk production, lower weight gain and culling due to welfare concerns. LÄS MER
4. Reproduction and health of moose in southern Sweden
Sammanfattning : Moose (Alces alces) is a highly regarded game species in Fennoscandia, where annual harvest numbers in Sweden, Norway, and Finland together exceed 200,000 animals. For successful management, knowledge about male and female reproduction is essential, as well as the extent to which disease and mortality affect the population. LÄS MER
5. Puumala virus dynamics in bank voles along habitat and community gradients : the ecology and risk of an emerging infectious disease
Sammanfattning : The majority of recent infectious disease outbreaks are zoonotic, i.e. caused by pathogens shared between humans and other vertebrates, and many of those originate in wildlife. The life cycle of zoonotic diseases is complex, and involves at least one non-human host. LÄS MER
