6. Modelling Epidemic Influenza : A Novel Approach
Sammanfattning : Modellering av dynamiska förlopp i socio-biologiska komplexa system är långt ifrån trivialt. Behovet av fördjupad förståelse av sådana förlopp är många gånger stort. Vi har presenterat ett oortodoxt förslag på hur spridning av influensa i mänsklig population kan beskrivas och simuleras. LÄS MER
7. Avian Influenza Virus : Deciphering receptor interactions and their role in interspecies transmission
Sammanfattning : Influenza A virus (IAV) annually infects approximately 5–15 % of the human population, causing ~500,000 deaths globally. Novel IAVs have emerged and spread pandemically in the human population, but have over time established endemic circulation with reduced pathogenicity causing seasonal influenza. The natural reservoir of IAVs is wild waterfowl. LÄS MER
8. Tamiflu® - Use It and Lose It?
Sammanfattning : Influenza A viruses cause seasonal and pandemic outbreaks that range from mild infections to the disastrous Spanish Flu. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) is a growing problem as these drugs constitute a vital part of treatment strategies and pandemic preparedness plans worldwide. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) is the mostly used NAI. LÄS MER
9. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors in influenza A virus isolated from mallards
Sammanfattning : Influenza A virus belongs to the Orothomyxoviridae family of viruses and is one of the most common pathogens that cause infections of the respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) Tamiflu® (oseltamivir, OC) and Relenza® (zanamivir, ZA) - related resistance mutations exist in the neuraminidase (NA) gene of viruses collected from wild birds.

10. Epidemiology of viral respiratory infections with focus on in-hospital influenza transmission
Sammanfattning : Human Rhinoviruses (HRV) and influenza viruses are respiratory pathogens which represent a major global disease burden. Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are increasingly recognized as a public health concern, but limited data has been published on the characteristics and epidemiology of HCAI caused by respiratory viruses.
