  1. 1. Towards Mosquitocides for Prevention of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases : discovery and Development of Acetylcholinesterase 1 Inhibitors

    Författare :Sofie Knutsson; Anna Linusson; Fredrik Almqvist; Andreas Larsson; Ulf Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mosquito; vector-borne diseases; vector control; insecticide; acetylcholinesterase; medicinal chemistry; high-throughput screening; organic synthesis; homology modeling; structure activity relationship; structure selectivity relationship; datorlingvistik; computational linguistics; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Diseases such as malaria and dengue impose great economic burdens and are a serious threat to public health, with young children being among the worst affected. These diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, also called disease vectors, which are able to transmit both parasitic and viral infections. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Oviposition cues as a tool for developing a new malaria control strategy

    Författare :Lynda Eneh; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Willem Takken; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Anopheles gambiae; Malaria; Oviposition; Volatile compounds; GC-MS; DGGE; Sorption; Fungi; Bacteria; Physicochemical parameters; Nut grass; Bermuda grass; Anopheles gambiae; Malaria; Äggläggning; Flyktiga ämnen; GC-MS; DGGE; Sorptionen; Svampar; Bakterier; Gräs; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Anopheles gambiae sensu lato mosquitoes are among the dominant malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. However, not much is known about the oviposition behaviour of these species necessary for the development of malaria vector control strategies. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Insect-specific viruses as control measures for West Nile virus infection of animals and humans

    Författare :Pontus Öhlund; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Myggor tjänar som vektor för många medicinskt viktiga virus och dem associerade virussjukdomarna orsakar en stor hälsobörda över hela världen. Myggburna virus bibehålls i naturen genom en enzootisk cykel, där myggan förvärvar viruset genom ett viremiskt blodmål från ett infekterat ryggradsdjur. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Organometallic complexes with antimalarial properties

    Författare :Lotta Glans; Kemisk fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioorganometallic chemistry; Chloroquine; Antimalarial; Drug resistance; Organometallic; Arene;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is a serious disease that causes around 800 000 deaths per year. Current malaria control efforts are hampered by the widespread resistance to common antimalarial drugs, such as the 4-aminoquinoline derivative called chloroquine. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Ticks - ecology, new hazards, and relevance for public health

    Författare :Thérese Janzén; Monica Hammer; Patrik Dinnétz; Mona Petersson; Lars Korslund; Södertörns högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea region; eco-epidemiology; habitat; Ixodes persulcatus; Ixodes ricinus; landscape; risk; urbanization; Environmental Studies; Miljövetenskapliga studier; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies;

    Sammanfattning : Ticks and tick-borne diseases are ranking second only to mosquitoes as vectors of pathogens responsible for diseases in both humans and domestic animals. In the countries around the Baltic Sea, two medically important tick species are increasing both in range and abundance, and the public health threat posed by tick-borne diseases in this area is steadily growing.
