1. Characterizing important flavivirus-host interactions : Replication, assembly, restriction factors and vaccine development
Sammanfattning : The genus Flavivirus (family Flaviviridae) consists of important zoonotic viruses that cause morbidity and mortality worldwide. These viruses are enveloped and have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome encoding a polyprotein. LÄS MER
2. Host cell responses to Helicobacter pylori secreted factors
Sammanfattning : The infection of the human gastric mucosa by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori can lead to the development of gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, and cancer. The factors that determine disease development in a small percentage of infected individuals are still not fully understood. LÄS MER
3. Bacteria-host cell interactions : Studies on initial colonization, antimicrobial peptides, and biofilms
Sammanfattning : The obligate human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract, but crossing of the epithelial barrier can cause life-threatening meningitis and/or sepsis. N. LÄS MER
4. Drosophila-Serratia as a host-parasite system : defence mechanisms and virulence factors
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
5. Studies of the pathogenesis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections: pathogen virulence factors and host response
Sammanfattning : Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a highly virulent pathogen that can cause diarrhea and a life-threatening disease known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. EHEC possess an array of virulence factors that can exert severe consequences in the host. Shiga toxin constitutes a key virulence factor. LÄS MER
