1. 1. Lifestyle and Genome Evolution in Vector-Borne Bacteria : A Comparison of Three Bartonella Species

   Författare :Anna Carolin Frank; Siv Andersson; Stewart Cole; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Bartonella; evolution; host-restriction; vector-borne; horizontal gene transfer; genome reduction; alpha-proteobacteria; Type-IV secretion; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

3. 2. Towards Mosquitocides for Prevention of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases : discovery and Development of Acetylcholinesterase 1 Inhibitors

   Författare :Sofie Knutsson; Anna Linusson; Fredrik Almqvist; Andreas Larsson; Ulf Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mosquito; vector-borne diseases; vector control; insecticide; acetylcholinesterase; medicinal chemistry; high-throughput screening; organic synthesis; homology modeling; structure activity relationship; structure selectivity relationship; datorlingvistik; computational linguistics; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Diseases such as malaria and dengue impose great economic burdens and are a serious threat to public health, with young children being among the worst affected. These diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, also called disease vectors, which are able to transmit both parasitic and viral infections. LÄS MER

4. 3. Detection and characterisation of novel vector-borne viruses in Mozambique

   Författare :Harindranath Cholleti; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Arthropod vectors carry a wide variety of viruses that can cause vector-borne infectious diseases that affect the health of both humans and animals. The vector-borne viruses present in nature show high diversity and can infect a broad range of hosts. LÄS MER

5. 4. Decoding the language of transmission among vector-pathogen-host

   Författare :Melika Hajkazemian; S. Noushin Emami; Richard Hopkins; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vector-borne disease; Malaria; Anopheles; Plasmodium falciparum; Zika; Aedes; Vector control strategy; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Sammanfattning : Vector-borne diseases account for over 17 percent of all infectious diseases and lead to more than 700,000 mortalities annually. Importantly, there is a complex interaction between infectious organisms and their host. LÄS MER

7. 5. Imported infections’ importance : global change driving Dengue dynamics

   Författare :Mikkel B. Quam; Joacim Rocklöv; Annelies Wilder-Smith; Eduardo Massad; Dave D. Chadee; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dengue; Zika; Vector-borne Disease; Aedes; Global Change; Climate Change; Viral Evolution; Phylogenetics; Travel; Interconnectivity; Disease Modeling; Madeira; Italy; Japan; Europe;

   Sammanfattning : Background Dengue is a significant problem of international health concern. According to the World Health Organization in 2012, globally, dengue is “the most important mosquito borne viral disease” with incidence 30 higher than it had been 50 years ago. LÄS MER
