1. 1. Acquired and lost structure-functions of non-enveloped and enveloped viruses

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Diogo Filipe; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Viruses are biological entities that constantly affect the world around us and in many cases they can harm the health of humans and negatively impact food production, in agriculture andfisheries. The project concept is that, through the structural studies of viruses that infectsimple hosts, it is possible to point out structural features that are unique and conserved inviruses, that infect human, other animals, and crops, in the same phylogenetic lineage.

3. 2. 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

   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

4. 3. Förekomst av antikroppar mot Sindbis och flavivirus hos hästar i Sverige

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

   Abstract : Sindbisvirus (SINV) är ett positivt enkelsträngat RNA virus tillhörande genus Alfavirus inom familjen Togaviridae. SINV finns i många delar av världen och orsakar sjukdom hos människor i bland annat Sverige, Finland och Ryssland. I Sydafrika har viruset även kopplats samman med sjukdom hos hästar. READ MORE

5. 4. Cloning and Expression of TBEV NS4A in A549 cells

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

   Author : Lovisa Gerdhem; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Tick borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV), the cause of the fatal Central Nervous System (CNS) infection Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE), belongs to the family of Flaviviridae and the genusFlavivirus. In order to replicate themselves, they cause the formation of a replication complex, which is nestled inside vesicles of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane to protect the RNA from host defense mechanisms.

6. 5. Transmission and Expansion of the Zika Virus

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

   Author : Jacob Henrikson; [2016]
   Keywords : Zika virus; transmission; spread; vector;

   Abstract : There is a vast selection of vector-borne diseases circulating in the world today. The latest of these to have a globally recognised impact is the Zika Virus (ZIKV). The suggested link between ZIKV and the recent spike in microcephaly in Brazil has put the spotlight on this previously obscure virus. READ MORE
