  1. 11. Studies on malaria blood stage infection and host responses

    Författare :Lili Xu; Klavs Berzins; Adrian Luty; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; cytokines; parasite ligands; merozoite released soluble proteins MRSPs ; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Biosciences;

    Sammanfattning : The challenges in controlling malaria infectious disease are increasing due to drug resistance and incomplete immunity induced by malaria infection. Moreover there is no effective vaccine available against malaria blood stage infection. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Genomic and transcripto variation in blood stage Plasmodium falciparum

    Författare :Bobo Mok; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Antigenic variation; comparative genomic hybridization CGH ; copy number polymorphism CNP ; microarray; P. falciparum; PfEMP1; subtelomeric regions; segmental duplication; switching; var;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria research has entered a postgenomic era since October 2002, when the complete genomic sequence of Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 was published. A massive amount of information generated by the P. falciparum genome project has facilitated the development of many novel platforms for profiling different levels of biological aspects. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Activation of the Cellular Immune Response in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae

    Författare :Ines Anderl; Dan Hultmark; Paul Badenhorst; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila melanogaster; immunity; blood cells; hematopoiesis; flow cytometry; in vivo imaging; genetic screens; Tl10b; fat body; Toll signaling; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : During the last 40 years, Drosophila melanogaster has become an invaluable tool in understanding innate immunity. The innate immune system of Drosophila consists of a humoral and a cellular component. While many details are known about the humoral immune system, our knowledge about the cellular immune system is comparatively small. LÄS MER

  5. 14. LIVING WITH PARASITES: AVIAN MALARIA, TELOMERE LENGTH AND LIFE HISTORY TRADE-OFFS

    Författare :Asghar Muhammad; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Avian malaria; Plasmodium; qPCR; parasitemia; life history; reproduction; survival; feather growth; MHC; telomere length; heritability; telomere loss; fitness; wild population; Acrocephalus arundinaceus; Delichon urbica;

    Sammanfattning : Haemosporidia is a well-studied group of parasites, which infect mammals, reptiles and birds and use blood sucking vectors for their transmission. By conducting natural population studies and experimental infections, We have been able to detect and quantify Haemosporidia from avian blood to investigate how these pathogens affect their avian hosts.

  7. 15. Diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites : Host specificity, genetic structure and infection patterns

    Författare :Xi Huang; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Haemoproteus; Sequence capture; host specificity; quantitative PCR; phylogeny;

    Sammanfattning : Parasites live on or inside their hosts and usually cause fitness loss, sometimes even lead to outbreaks of emerging infectious disease. Understanding how a parasite can infect its hosts (i.e., host specificity of the parasite) is important to both basic studies on disease evolution and the whole ecosystem health. LÄS MER
