6. An epidemiological and virological study on mosquito-borne flavivirus transmission : The role of urban livestock keeping and the risk for mosquito-borne zoonotic diseases in humans in Hanoi city, Vietnam
Sammanfattning : Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), which are transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes to humans, are causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide and are emerging in many tropical cities. Urban livestock keeping is still growing in cities around the world, which can itself contribute to increasing the mosquito populations. LÄS MER
7. Infectious diseases in returning Swedish travellers
Sammanfattning : The number of travellers to “tropical” parts of the world has increased substantially during the past decades. Identifying risk groups and providing preventive measures is important both to reduce the number of travellers falling ill and to prevent introduction of diseases into new countries. LÄS MER
8. Epidemiological aspects and microbiological characterization of fevers among residents of Mozambique and Swedish travellers returning from the tropics
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
9. Exploiting conjugacy in state-space models with sequential Monte Carlo
Sammanfattning : Many processes we encounter in our daily lives are dynamical systems that can be described mathematically using state-space models. Exact inference of both states and parameters in these models is, in general, intractable. LÄS MER
10. Identification of protease inhibitors against Flaviviruses and Coronaviruses
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
