6. Quantitative detection of bacterial DNA in whole blood in bloodstream infection
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to increase the knowledge on how quantitative PCR can be used in the diagnostics of bloodstream infections, with an emphasis on quantitative elements.In Papers I and II, we evaluated quantitative data from two commercial PCR tests for pathogen detection directly in blood, Magicplex Sepsis (I) and SeptiFast (II), from patients with suspected sepsis.

7. Dispersal of ticks and their microorganisms by African-Western Palaearctic migratory birds
Sammanfattning : In Europe, tick-borne diseases are the most widespread and common vector-borne diseases and their geographical distribution is increasing. The dispersal of ticks depends on the movements of their vertebrate hosts. Avian hosts are more likely to be involved in long-distance range expansion of ticks due to their migration pattern. LÄS MER
8. Microfluidic and Molecular Tools for Genetic Analyses
Sammanfattning : Methods that enable interrogation of multiple genomic regions in parallel are very useful for efficient detection of genetic variation. Two different types of probes are described in this thesis that can be used for direct analysis or for sample preparation upstream of Next Generation Sequencing. LÄS MER
9. Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in Sweden : Aspects of Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations and Co-infections
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
10. The Impact of Nandrolone Decanoate on Neuropeptidergic Mechanisms Related to Cognition, Aggression, Reward and Dependence
Sammanfattning : The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) is becoming increasingly common and may result in a range of physiological as well as psychological effects such as altered behavior in terms of increased aggression, cognitive dysfunction and addictive behavior. AAS comprise testosterone and its derivatives, of which nandrolone is one of the more common. LÄS MER
