1. Infection, early entry events and replication processes of picornaviruses
Sammanfattning : The Picornaviridae is a large and diverse family of small RNA viruses, several of which have exhibited a distinct clinical and socioeconomic impact on human society. While many infections are asymptomatic, some members of this virus family have the potential to cause severe disease, including, but not limited to, poliomyelitis, myocarditis, meningitis, and foot-and-mouth disease.

2. Reverse genetic studies of Enterovirus replication
Sammanfattning : Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and are small icosahedral viruses with RNA genomes of positive polarity, containing a single open reading frame. They mostly cause mild or asymptomatic infections, but also a wide array of diseases including: poliomyelitis, encephalitis, gastroenteritis, aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, hepatitis and respiratory diseases, ranging from severe infections to the common cold.

3. On causes and regulation of anti-viral defence in asthma and COPD
Sammanfattning : Rhinovirus infection is a main trigger of asthma and COPD exacerbations. dsRNA, a viral replication intermediate, is sensed by pattern recognition receptors in the airway epithelium leading to down-stream induction of anti-viral interferons. LÄS MER
4. 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.

5. Non-enveloped virus infection probed with host cellular molecules : a structural study
Sammanfattning : Early steps in virus replication require binding of the virus to its target cell, entry into the cell, and delivery of the viral genome into the cell in order to gain access to the cellular macromolecular synthesis machinery. This infectious process can only be initiated if the virus successfully attaches to a specific receptor on the plasma membrane of the target cell. LÄS MER
