   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Ivan Marin Cacho; [2022]
   Keywords : West Nile Virus; Raptors; Vultures; Scavengers.;

   Abstract : Scavenging bird of prey have been abundant throughout the Mediterranean region for years, establishing a food acquisition relationship with human activities, their characteristics make them especially suitable for the recognition of dangerous environmental conditions. The West Nile Virus (WNV) considered the most widespread arbovirus has been previously discovered in our 3 species of studio. READ MORE

3. 2. Estimation of Water Depth from Multispectral Drone Imagery : A suitability assessment of CNN models for bathymetry retrieval in shallow water areas

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Qianyao Shen; [2022]
   Keywords : Bathymetry Retrieval; Multispectral Imagery; Convolutional Neural Network CNN ; Hämtning Av Batymetri; Multispektrala Bilder; Konvolutionellt Neuralt Nätverk CNN ;

   Abstract : Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vector species for dengue disease and zika, two arboviruses that affect a substantial fraction of the global population. These mosquitoes breed in very slow-moving or standing pools of water, so detecting and managing these potential breeding habitats is a crucial step in preventing the spread of these diseases.

4. 3. Safety and Stability of Samples Stored on Filter Paper for Molecular Arbovirus Diagnosis

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Emelie Bringeland; [2021]

   Abstract : Expanding urbanization, climate change, and population growth contribute to increased transmission and spread of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), many of which cause severe disease in humans. Pathogenic arboviruses include dengue, Zika, tick-borne encephalitis, and sindbis viruses, which together threaten more than half the global population. READ MORE

5. 4. Design, expression and purification of virus-like particles derived from metagenomic studies : Virus-like Particles (VLP) of novel Partitiviridae species, Hubei.PLV 11, and novel Soutern pygmy squid flavilike virus were designed, expressed using the bac-to-bac expression system and then pruified using various methods

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Keywords : Virus; virus-like particles; VLP. Western Blot; SDS-PAGE; Chromatography; partitivrus; partitiviridae; flaviviridae; flavivirus; Hubei partitilike virus; Southern Pygmy Squid flavilike virus; protein purification; protein characterization; PCR; Cloning; metagenomic; strucutral biology; cryo-em; bac-to-bac expression system; vaccines; arbovirus; arthropod-borne virus;

   Abstract : Viruses are entities which are made of a few genes and are reliant on obligate parasitism to propagate. Due to the obligate connection to their hosts, virus evolution is constrained to the type of host. Viruses however do transmit to evolutionary distinct hosts; in these cases, the phylogenetic relationship of the hosts usually are close. READ MORE

6. 5. Seroprevalence and risk factors for Rift Valley fever and Capripoxvirus in small ruminants in the border region of Tanzania - Zambia

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences
