  1. 1. An epidemiological and virological study on mosquito-borne flavivirus transmission : The role of urban livestock keeping and the risk for mosquito-borne zoonotic diseases in humans in Hanoi city, Vietnam

    Författare :Thang Nguyen-Tien; Johanna Lindahl; Åke Lundkvist; Richard Paul; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :urban flavivirus; mosquito-borne diseases; livestock keeping; urban Vietnam; Southeast Asia.; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), which are transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes to humans, are causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide and are emerging in many tropical cities. Urban livestock keeping is still growing in cities around the world, which can itself contribute to increasing the mosquito populations. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Sweden : An emerging tick-borne human pathogen

    Författare :Lisa Labbé Sandelin; Björn Olsen; Jonas Waldenström; Per-Eric Lindgren; Ivar Tjernberg; Lars Hagberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia; Tick-borne Infections; Transfusion-transmitted infections; Bacterial Zoonotic infections; Blood Donors; Immunosuppression; Infectious Diseases; Emerging; Blood Safety; Bird Migration; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    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

  4. 3. The risk of antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases in India's dairy value chain, and how we can mitigate the public health threat through interventions

    Författare :Garima Sharma; Johanna Lindahl; Alison Prendiville; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; antibiotics; AMR; dairy farmer; milk vendor; informal dairy value chain; veterinarian; zoonotic diseases; milk hygiene; milk handling;

    Sammanfattning : India is the world's largest producer of milk and milk products with small-scale farms dominating the dairy industry. The infrastructure is inadequate, and quality control is minimal. India has a high burden of infectious and zoonotic diseases due to a lack of awareness, poor hygiene practices, poverty, and limited access to medical services. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The influence of urban livestock-keeping on the epidemiology of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses in Hanoi city of Vietnam

    Författare :Long Pham-Thanh; Johanna Lindahl; Åke Lundkvist; Ulf Magnusson; Flavie Goutard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; urban livestock-keeping; mosquito borne zoonotic flaviviruses; knowledge and practices; vector abundance; risk factors; Hanoi; Vietnam;

    Sammanfattning : In rapid urbanizing cities, the high density of livestock populations in close vicinity to humans, and high mosquito vector abundance have provided suitable conditions for transmission of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses, that cause several million cases of human disease annually. This thesis explores the urban livestock-keeping in Hanoi and its potential influence on the epidemiology of flavivirus infections. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Sex differences in immune response and sex hormone receptor expression in healthy individuals and during viral infection

    Sammanfattning : There is sex-bias in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases. Infections kill more men than women and several studies have pointed out differences in the immune system as a reason. The sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all shape the effect of the immune response on multiple levels. LÄS MER
