  1. 1. LIVING WITH PARASITES: AVIAN MALARIA, TELOMERE LENGTH AND LIFE HISTORY TRADE-OFFS

    Författare :Asghar Muhammad; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Avian malaria; Plasmodium; qPCR; parasitemia; life history; reproduction; survival; feather growth; MHC; telomere length; heritability; telomere loss; fitness; wild population; Acrocephalus arundinaceus; Delichon urbica;

    Sammanfattning : Haemosporidia is a well-studied group of parasites, which infect mammals, reptiles and birds and use blood sucking vectors for their transmission. By conducting natural population studies and experimental infections, We have been able to detect and quantify Haemosporidia from avian blood to investigate how these pathogens affect their avian hosts.

  3. 2. Optimization of intermittent preventive therapy for malaria during pregnancy : effectiveness of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine versus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine

    Författare :Eulambius Mathias Mlugu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is a Tropical disease caused by different parasites species of genius Plasmodium. Because of pregnancy associated lowered immunity, women who are pregnant are at higher risk to malaria infection than non-pregnant women. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Intra-specific variation in avian malaria : Linking infection dynamics to haplotypes

    Författare :Victor Kalbskopf; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; avian malaria; phyogenetics; population genetics; evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Avian Malaria infects thousands of species of birds across the Aves class. The most widespread (geographically and phylogenetically)morphological species is Plasmodium relictum, and of that, the mitochondrial lineage of SGS1 is the most common and invasive. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Host genetic factors and antibody responses with potential involvement in the susceptibility to malaria

    Författare :Elisabeth Israelsson; Klavs Berzins; Jean Langhorne; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The relatively lower susceptibility to malaria seen in the Fulani ethnic group in Africa, as compared to other sympatric ethnic groups, has been related to genetic regulation of the immune responses. This thesis aimed to describe important pathways related to the regulation of antibodies in the immune responses during a malaria infection. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection

    Författare :Helena Helmby; Edvard Pearce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. LÄS MER
