1. 16. Impact of rainfall on East Coast Fever in cattle at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Nikitta Afonso; [2022]
   Keywords : East Coast Fever; ECF; Theileria Parva; tick-borne disease; Kenya; cattle; precipitation; oxpecker;

   Abstract : Weather conditions commonly have a large impact on tick-borne diseases as it affects the abundance of the tick vector. The cattle disease East Coast Fever (ECF) is no exception. Rainfall particularly seems to play an important role in the transmission of ECF. READ MORE

3. 17. Surface Functionalization of Nanowires Using Silane-PEG Compounds

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Hedvig Ekfors Elvin; [2022]
   Keywords : Functionalization; Nanowires; Silanization; Surface Chemistry; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Introduction: GaP nanowires were functionalized using silane-PEG-NH2 and compared with cellulose acetate, PAcrAm™-g-(PMOXA, amine, silane) and a non-functionalized reference sample. Functionalization would allow strong, covalent anchoring of antibodies instead of adsorption. READ MORE

4. 18. Exploring methods for detecting super-spreaders using molecular data : A literature study and case study of VTEC O157:H7 in dairy calves

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

6. 20. Modelling of Social Networks, Analysis of CommunityStructures and Disease Simulation on Dairy Cattle : The aim of this study is to model a social network of dairy cows, detectcommunities and analyse the influence of these substructures on the spread of acontagious disease. By using this network, the transmission of a contagiousdisease will be simulated through a theoretical simulation function.

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Juliana Macedo; Mira Czarnetzki; [2022]
   Keywords : Community Detection Dairy cattle Disease simulation Social Network;

   Abstract : Past research has demonstrated that social networks and community structures have a strong effecton the dynamics of how an infectious disease spreads, although many have focused moreintensively on the impact of the number of connections an individual has. This thesis investigatedhow disease transmission is affected by the social networks’ structures such as communities,centrality measures, cliques, and diameter. READ MORE
