  1. 1. HIV-1/HCV co-infection : immunity and viral dynamics

    Författare :Karolin Falconer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the agents behind two viral epidemics causing huge morbidity and mortality worldwide. HCV infection is a leading cause of end-stage liver disease. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Host responses to malaria and bacterial co-­infections

    Författare :Maria Nelson; Johan Normark; Sven Bergström; Anna Fahlgren; Olle Stendahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plasmodium; Malaria; Borrelia; S. pneumoniae; Co-infection; Immunology; Metabolomics;

    Sammanfattning : The two main causes of child mortality and morbidity in Africa are malaria and invasive bacterial diseases. In addition, co-infections in sub-Saharan Africa are the rule rather than the exception. However, not much is known about the host-pathogen interaction during a concomitant infection or how it affects the outcome of disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Determining the role of guanylate-binding proteins for host defense against Francisella tularensis

    Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent, intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of the human disease tularemia. This is a zoonotic, often vector-borne disease. Due to its intracellular nature, F. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Influenza A Virus : Spatial analysis of influenza genome trafficking and the evolution of the neuraminidase protein

    Författare :Dan Dou; Robert Daniels; Martin Schwemmle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; IAV; neuraminidase; NA; IAV genome trafficking; viral entry; viral replication; co-infection; antigenic drift; antigenic shift; NA assembly; transmembrane domain; evolution; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are a common infectious agent that seasonally circulates within the human population that causes mild to severe acute respiratory infections. The severity of the infection is often related to how the virus has evolved with respect to the pre-existing immunity in the population. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in Sweden : Aspects of Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations and Co-infections

    Författare :Anders Lindblom; Kenneth Nilsson; Björn Olsen; Björn Herrmann; Clas Ahlm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rickettsia helvetica; Rickettsia felis; co-infection; erythema migrans; meningitis; serology; PCR; western blot; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : The spotted fever group rickettsiae are emerging diseases. They cause damage in their hosts by invading the endothelium in small to medium-sized blood vessels, which results in vasculitis that can cause clinical manifestations from most organs. LÄS MER
