1. Plant-Derived Chemicals as Tick Repellents
Sammanfattning : Ixodes ricinus is the main vector of Lyme borreliosis and Tick-borne encephalitis in Europe. Repellents provide a practical means of protection against tick bites and can therefore reduce transmission of tick-borne diseases. LÄS MER
2. Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Sweden : An emerging tick-borne human pathogen
Sammanfattning : Neoehrlichia mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne human pathogen, causing neoehrlichiosis in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals. It targets the vascular endothelium, leading to thromboembolic and vascular events, but can also pass without symptoms. LÄS MER
3. Ticks and Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus : From Nature to Infection
Sammanfattning : Vector-borne diseases are an increasing global threat to humans due to climate changes, elevating the risk of infections transmitted by mosquitos, ticks, and other arthropod vectors. Ixodes ricinus, a common tick in Europe, transmits dangerous tick-borne pathogens to humans. LÄS MER
4. Viperin vs. tick-borne encephalitis virus : mechanism of a potent antiviral protein
Sammanfattning : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a very important virus medically, causing mild or severe encephalitis often with long-lasting sequelae. Treatment of tick-borne encephalitis is limited to supportive care, and antiviral drugs are much needed.The type-I interferon (IFN) system is the first line of host defense against many viruses.

5. Tick-borne encephalitis - clinical and virological aspects
Sammanfattning : Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), an important central nervous system infection in Europe and Asia, is caused by the TBE virus (TBEV), which is mainly transmitted to humans through tick bites. This thesis studied data from 201 of the 373 patients diagnosed in Region Västra Götaland between 1997 and 2017. LÄS MER
