1. Infection dynamics of Cryptosporidium bovis and Cryptosporidium ryanae in cattle
Sammanfattning : In order to investigate the infection dynamics of the protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium bovis and Cryptosporidium ryanae in cattle, a Swedish dairy farm known to be free of C. parvum was recruited. LÄS MER
2. KNOW YOUR ENEMY : Characterizing Pathogenic Biomaterials Using Laser Tweezers
Sammanfattning : Diseases caused by pathogenic agents such as bacteria and viruses result in devastating costs on personal and societal levels. However, it is not just the emergence of new diseases that is problematic. Antibiotic resistance among bacteria makes uncomplicated infections difficult and lethal. LÄS MER
3. Microbial Risks in Surface Water Sources
Sammanfattning : Microbial risks need to be properly handled for the provision of healthy drinking water. The mitigation of pathogens in the water source lowers the risk for infection associated with nominal and suboptimal drinking water treatment. LÄS MER
4. Cryptosporidium infection in dairy cattle : prevalence, species distribution and associated management factors
Sammanfattning : For almost 25 years, it has been known that Cryptosporidium parasites infect Swedish calves. This thesis explores how common these parasites are at herd level and at individual level in preweaned calves, young stock and periparturient cows. Species distribution and association with diarrhoeal problems are also highlighted. LÄS MER
5. Gastrointestinal parasites in pigs : prevalence, risk factors and control
Sammanfattning : Gastrointestinal parasites are common in pigs worldwide, and in all production types. Clinical disease is rare and mainly associated with heavy nematode infections, or piglets infected with the coccidia Cystoisospora suis. Subclinical infections are more common and may result in reduced growth and poor feed utilisation. LÄS MER
