1. 1. Single-cell RNA-seq mapping of chicken leukocytes : An investigation into single-cell transcriptomics as an alternative to traditional immunological methods within non-traditional model organisms

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

   Author : Matilda Maxwell; [2023]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics; scRNA-seq; avian; immunology; Seurat; leukocytes; chicken; gallus gallus; 10x genomics; PCA;

   Abstract : The immune system is a complex infrastructure where many cells interact with each other and perform duties depending on their type and function. When using traditional immunological methods in studying non-traditional model organisms, such as birds, challenges arise. READ MORE

3. 2. Avian Malaria infection and its effect on cellular metabolic rate in Ficedula Flycatchers

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

   Author : Nader Ibrahim; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Chronic avian malaria and low-intensity parasite infections can have a negative influence on reproduction and survival which can reduce the fitness of the host. Therefore, the effect on host due to avian malaria infection can affect a bird’s lifespan. Consequently, avian parasites can influence evolution, physiology, and host morphology. READ MORE

4. 3. Validation study : HemoCue Hb 201 + as a tool in comparative physiological field studies on avian blood

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Frida Gustavsson; [2015]
   Keywords : HemoCue Hb 201 ; Drabkin´s method; validation study; avian blood; haemoglobin concentration; mean corpuscular volume;

   Abstract : Haemoglobin concentration is becoming a widely popular parameter to use to assess physiological condition within a broad range of species. Assessments of large populations would preferable be done in field to receive quick results and avoid confounding factors associated with transport of blood. READ MORE

5. 4. Malaria infection in relation to reproductive success and secondary sexual traits in collared flycatcher : In new and old breeding areas

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för naturvetenskap

   Author : Ye Xiong; [2014]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Life-history theory is based on the idea that every individual face a limitation of energy, nutrients and time in its lifespan. This optimization problem is resulting in trade-offs between resource demanding tasks and traits. READ MORE

6. 5. Omvårdnad vid blodprovstagning och venpunktion på fåglar

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Author : Linn Knutsson; [2014]
   Keywords : exotiska sällskapsdjur; fåglar; blodprov; venpunktion; omvårdnad;

   Abstract : Blood sampling is one of the most important diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine, and this is also true for avian medicine. A properly collected and handled venous sample can be used for serology, biochemistry and electrolyte analysis, as well as for blood smears, packed cell volume and cell differentiation. READ MORE
