6. Tick-borne encephalitis : on pathogenesis and prognosis
Sammanfattning : The general aim of the five studies presented in this thesis was to investigate the clinical outcome and prognosis and factors of importance for the pathogenesis of TBE compared to other aseptic meningo-encephalitis. In a prospective study 149 patients presenting with clinical symptoms of acute viral meningo-encephalitis between June 1991 and December 1993 were included. LÄS MER
7. The Origin of the Genus Flavivirus and the Ecology of Tick-Borne Pathogens
Sammanfattning : The present thesis examines questions related to the temporal origin of the Flavivirus genus and the ecology of tick-borne pathogens. In the first study, we date the origin and divergence time of the Flavivirus genus. It has been argued that the first flaviviruses originated after the last glacial maximum. LÄS MER
8. Host-pathogen interactions during tick-borne flavivirus infection : pathogenesis, tropism and tools
Sammanfattning : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a neurotropic member of the genus Flavivirus. It may transmit to humans through the bite of an infected tick or consumption of unpasteurized dairyproducts, and causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE constitutes a significant health burden in Eurasia, with more than 10,000 cases reported every year. LÄS MER
9. Tick-borne encephalitis : prognosis, immunization and virus strain characterization
Sammanfattning : The aims were to investigate the morbidity associated with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) both in the acute phase and at long-term follow-up, to develop a rapid neutralization test for confirmation of TBEV-specific antibody response and to study the serological response after TBE-vaccination and, finally, to characterize Swedish human TBEV isolates. The morbidity was studied in one retrospective follow-up study of consecutive TBE-patients, treated during a 10-year period (Paper 1) and in one prospective study of TBE-patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis of non-TBE etiology as a reference group (Paper II).

10. Host genetic risk factors to viral diseases - a double-edged sword : Studies of norovirus and tick-borne encephalitis virus
Sammanfattning : It is today well known that the outcome of a certain infection depends on factors of both the host and the pathogen. Studies of host genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases aim to increase the understanding of why some individuals are more susceptible than others, to a certain infection. LÄS MER
