1. A Genetic Survey of the Pathogenic Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi
Sammanfattning : Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, is an evolutionarily ancient species with distinct biological and immunological characteristics. A fundamental understanding of the basic biology of the parasite is necessary in order to develop reliable therapeutic and prophylactic agents against T. cruzi. We have, as a part of the T. LÄS MER
2. Identification and characterization of progenitor populations in the human adult heart
Sammanfattning : Traditionally, the heart has been regarded as a non-regenerative organ. During the last 10 years, this notion has been challenged. By 14C measurements, it was calculated that at the age of 50, about 45% of all cardiomyocytes had formed after birth. LÄS MER
3. Differentiation and Pathogenicity within the Saprolegniaceae : Studies on Physiology and Gene Expression Patterns in Saprolegnia parasitica and Aphanomyces astaci
Sammanfattning : Saprolegnia parasitica and Aphanomyces astaci are parasitic water moulds belonging to the Oomycetes. Despite their importance as parasites they are very little studied at the molecular level and the work described in this thesis was aimed at increasing the molecular knowledge of these organisms by cloning and characterising genes of potential importance for reproduction and pathogenicity.

4. Regulation of differentiation during the Giardia life cycle : An insight into the molecular control
Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. duodenalis) is an intestinal protozoan parasite that causes diarrheal infections worldwide. LÄS MER
5. The interplay between Giardia intestinalis and host intestinal epithelial cells : A tale of immune activation and suppression
Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis is a non-invasive, protozoan parasite causing the diarrheal disease giardiasis in a variety of mammals, including humans. The parasite has two main life cycle stages; disease-causing trophozoites and infectious cysts. Trophozoites colonize the host’s upper small intestine by attaching to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). G. LÄS MER
