1. 1. Novel Modes of Immune Activation in Anopheles gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster

   Författare :Bo Lindberg; Ingrid Faye; Kenneth Vernick; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Malaria is a disease of poverty and continues to plague a great part of the world’s population. An increased understanding of the interactions between the vector mosquito, the malaria parasite, and also the mosquito gut microbiota are pivotal for the development of novel measures against the disease.

3. 2. Identification of bacteria associated with malaria mosquitoes - Their characterisation and potential use

   Författare :Jenny Lindh; Ingrid Faye; Marcelo Jacobs-Lorena; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; mosquito; Anopheles; bacteria; paratransgenics; semiochemicals; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : The use of transformed bacteria to stop or kill disease-causing agents in the gut of vector insects is called paratransgenics. Two of the major steps in creating a paratransgenic Anopheles mosquito, unable to spread the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria, are to find a bacterium suitable for the purpose and a way to introduce the transformed bacterium into mosquitoes in the field.

4. 3. Functional Studies of Some Immune Relevant Genes in a Crustacean

   Författare :Haipeng Liu; Kenneth Söderhäll; Irene Söderhäll; Lage Cerenius; Ingrid Faye; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; anti-LPS factor; crayfish; hemocyte; innate immunity; melanization; phenoloxidase; RNA interference; WSSV; Biology; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : The freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, mounts a strong innate immune response against microbes such as viruses and bacteria. In this thesis, a novel RNA interference (RNAi) method mediated with histone H2A was developed and applied in crayfish hematopoietic tissue cell cultures for gene functional studies. LÄS MER

5. 4. Microbial Phosphorus Removal in Waste Stabilisation Pond Wastewater Treatment Systems

   Författare :Lydia Ambakisye Mbwele; Gunnel Dalhmmar; Ingrid Faye; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater treatment; waste stabilisation ponds; activated sludge; biological phosphorus removal; tropical climate; A.hydrophylla; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Waste Stabilisation Ponds (WSPs) are characterised by low phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Heterotrophic bacteria are principal microbial agents in WSPs in addition to algae. LÄS MER

7. 5. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects

   Författare :Olle Terenius; Ingrid Faye; Kenneth Söderhäll; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemolin; Hyalophora cecropia; Antheraea pernyi; Drosophila melanogaster; anti-viral; anti-parasitic; rna interference; microarray; innate immunity; Genetics; Genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. LÄS MER
