  1. 11. Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for diagnosis of Fasciola hepatica in animal faeces and comparison with traditional diagnostic methods

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Maria Immaculata Arifin; [2016]
    Keywords : Fasciola hepatica; faeces; sheep; cattle; diagnosis; loop-mediated isothermal amplification; PCR; serology; coprology;

    Abstract : The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic trematode prevalent in mammals, primarily in sheep and cattle. There is a wide range of methods for diagnosis of F. hepatica infections, such as coproscopy, coproantigen ELISA, serum ELISA, PCR and Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). READ MORE

  3. 12. Cryptic refugia vs. Tabula Rasa: Boreal trees in glacial Fennoscandia : Plant growth during the Weichselian glaciation and the early Holocene in northern Europe

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anne van Woerkom; [2016]
    Keywords : boreal trees; Fennoscandia; cryptic refugia; Weichselian; glacial survival;

    Abstract : Recent studies applying innovative technologies, such as genetic analysis and carbon dating, contradict the palynological based assumption that Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) vanished from Fennoscandia during the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 20.000 yrs BP) and re-colonized after the cold Younger Dryas (c. 12.

  4. 13. Isolating microorganisms from marine and marine-associated samples : a targeted search for novel natural antibiotics

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Tua Lilja; [2013]
    Keywords : antibiotics; natural products; marine microorganisms; isolation methods; actinomycetes; rare actinomycetes; whole-cell screening; antimicrobials; antibiotic resistance;

    Abstract : The search for antibiotic compounds from the natural environment has been going on for seven decades, ever since penicillin entered the market and antibiotic treatments became routine. The evolutionary pressure put on the pathogenic microorganisms induced a rapid spreading of naturally occurring resistance genes, leaving only the option of finding new antibiotics to treat the resistant pathogens.

  5. 14. Bacterial communities associated with roots of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) : diversity in relation to soil origin and effects on plant growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Fang Chen; [2013]
    Keywords : lupin; Bradyrhizobium; symbiosis;

    Abstract : Bacteria play several important ecological functions in soil and in relation to plants. Legumes, such as the recently introduced grain legume narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.), develop N2-fixing root nodules in response to infection by soil bacteria generally called rhizobia but can also interact with other soil bacteria.

  6. 15. Optimization and validation of a triplex real-time PCR assay for thermotolerant Campylobacter species associated with foodborne disease

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Maria Karlsson; [2013]
    Keywords : thermotolerant Campylobacter; multiplex real-time PCR; 16S rRNA; hipO; cadF;

    Abstract : The genus Campylobacter is globally recognised as the leading bacterial cause of human foodborne gastroenteritis. Every year around 8000 Swedes are infected by Campylobacter. Most people are infected by thermotolerant Campylobacter species, commonly C. jejuni and C. READ MORE
