3. 17. A Genetic Survey of the Pathogenic Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

   Författare :Anh-Nhi Tran; Lena Åslund; John Kelly; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; Trypanosoma cruzi; Chagas ; gene discovery; EST; sequencing; DGC3; repeats; gene family; CL Brener; trypanothione synthetase; TcTRS locus; alleles; polymorphism; RNA-binding protein; TcPTB; stage-specific expression; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   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

4. 18. Genetic analysis of murine malaria

   Författare :Susana Campino; Dan Holmberg; Nils Lycke; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Malaria; genetic analysis; Plasmodium; wild derived inbred strains; loci; cerebral malaria; hyperparasitaemia.; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; genetik; Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Malaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, is one of the major world-scale health problems. Despite the efforts aimed at finding an effective way to control the disease, the success has been thwarted by the emergence of parasite drug resistance and mosquito resistance to insecticides.

5. 19. Island biogeography and population divergence in the Skyros wall lizard

   Författare :Anna Runemark; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Podarcis gaigeae; inbreeding; predation release; polymorphism; island gigantism; the island rule; genetic drift; sexual selection; natural selection; island biology; Evolution;

   Sammanfattning : Islands are cradles for new biodiversity and provide natural laboratories for the study of population divergence. In my thesis, I investigated the role of different evolutionary processes in the population divergence in the Skyros wall lizard (Podarcis gaigeae), a species where islet populations have strongly diverged morphologies.

7. 20. Mating behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster and its implication to genetic variation

   Författare :Sven-Eric Åslund; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; drosophila melanogaster; mating behaviour; fitness; allozymes; bristles; Y chromosome; polymorphism; selection;

   Sammanfattning : Not much is known about the mechanisms affecting the genetic composition of populations of different species. To investi­gate one of these potential mechanisms, mating behaviour, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, was chosen as an experimen­tal animal. LÄS MER
