    Sammanfattning : Abstract Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, and in Rwanda diarrhea, lower respiratory and other common infections are linked to high mortality and morbidity. For children ... LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The chikungunya virus is a positive-sense RNA virus responsible for the crippling chikungunya fever. It is transmitted through the bites of two species of mosquitoes: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Dissection of virus-host cell interactions in the early response to infection

    Författare :Marc D Panas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Stress granules (SG) are dynamic RNA/protein assemblies in the cytoplasm of the cell, formed under conditions of oxidative stress, heat shock or viral infections. These stress conditions trigger a sudden translational arrest, leading to a rapid switch of translation from housekeeping genes to stress-related factors. LÄS MER

    Författare :Jing Liu-Helmersson; Joacim Rocklöv; Åke Brännström; Eduardo Massad; Richard Paul; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dengue; mathematical modelling; vectorial capacity; DTR; Aedes aegypti; Aedes albopictus; climate change; Europe; vector invasion; abundance; dengue; matematisk modellering; vektorkapacitet; DTR; Aedes aegypti; Aedes albopictus; klimatförändring; Europa; vektor invasion; epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background Climate change, global travel and trade have facilitated the spread of Aedes mosquitoes and have consequently enabled the diseases they transmit (dengue fever, Chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever) to emerge and re-emerge in uninfected areas. Large dengue outbreaks occurred in Athens in 1927 and in Portuguese island, Madeira in 2012, but there are almost no recent reports of Aedes aegypti, the principal vector, in Europe. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Epidemiological aspects and microbiological characterization of fevers among residents of Mozambique and Swedish travellers returning from the tropics

    Författare :Birgitta Lesko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The common theme and aim for this thesis was to explore the epidemiology and the diagnostic possibilities of patients with non-malarial febrile infections of tropical origin, with both the individual patient perspective and the more general public health aspects in focus. Analysis from two study areas, Sweden and Mozambique, are presented in the project. LÄS MER
