1. Early host cell interactions and antivirals against ocular adenoviruses
Sammanfattning : Viruses are common causative agents of ocular infection among humans. Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis (EKC) is a severe and contagious ocular disease with reported outbreaks worldwide. It is estimated that this disease affects 20-40 million individuals every year, which leads to huge socioeconomic costs for the affected countries. LÄS MER
2. Cellular receptors for viruses with ocular tropism
Sammanfattning : Several viruses from different virus families are known to cause ocular infections, e.g. members of the Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae and the Herpesviridae families. These infections are spread by contact and in the case of adenoviruses (Ads) and picornaviruses they are also highly contagious. LÄS MER
3. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors in influenza A virus isolated from mallards
Sammanfattning : Influenza A virus belongs to the Orothomyxoviridae family of viruses and is one of the most common pathogens that cause infections of the respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) Tamiflu® (oseltamivir, OC) and Relenza® (zanamivir, ZA) - related resistance mutations exist in the neuraminidase (NA) gene of viruses collected from wild birds.

4. Discovery and evaluation of direct acting antivirals against hepatitis C virus
Sammanfattning : Until recently, the standard therapy for hepatitis C treatment has been interferon and ribavirin. Such treatment has only 50% efficacy and is not well tolerated. The emergence of new drugs has increased the treatment efficacy to 90%. LÄS MER
5. Cell and organoid models to develop new antivirals and diagnostic methods for emerging viruses
Sammanfattning : The ongoing global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) is only the latest reminder of the urgent need for new antiviral strategies and diagnostic tools to improve preparedness for emergence of new pathogenic RNA-viruses. A key obstacle for the development of antivirals and diagnostic tools has been the lack of good models to study RNA viruses. LÄS MER
