   Sammanfattning : Vector-borne flaviviruses and coronaviruses of zoonotic origins are important human pathogens and represent a serious threat to public health worldwide. Flaviviruses can be found on all continents, apart from Antarctica, where they are transmitted by arthropod vectors causing millions of infections every year. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Lyme neuroborreliosis, the infection of the nervous system by the tick-borne bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is a common infection in the temperate parts of the Northern hemisphere. Manifestations of the disease include facial palsy, radicular pain, sensory disturbances, and occasionally CNS symptoms such as confusion and paraparesis. LÄS MER

4. 23. Neoehrlichiosis - latent infection of endothelium and immune defense

   Författare :Linda Wass; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia mikurensis; neoehrlichiosis; human; infectious disease; endothelial cell; T cell;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is a study of the tick-borne pathogen Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis that causes the infectious disease neoehrlichiosis in humans. The disease affects both individuals with competent and suppressed immune defense with the majority of the affected being immunosuppressed. LÄS MER

5. 24. Structure and Function of the Borrelia burgdorferi Porins, P13 and P66

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Borrelia; P13; P66; porin; protein complex; dissemination; osmotic stress;

   Sammanfattning : Borrelia burgdorferi is an elongated and helically shaped bacterium that is the causal agent of the tick-borne illness Lyme disease. The disease manifests with initial flu-like symptoms and, in many cases, the appearance of a skin rash called erythema migrans at the site of the tick bite. LÄS MER

7. 25. B cell responses to human flavivirus vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection

   Författare :Tyler Sandberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Viral infections pose a major threat to global heath. As specific antiviral treatments are lacking against many human viruses, vaccination is the most effective medical intervention to prevent severe disease and death. Delineating the immune events following viral vaccination and infection can help in the design of new vaccines and therapeutics. LÄS MER
