  4. 13. Seroprevalence of CCPP, FMDV, BTV and BVDV among small ruminants in Tanzania : A minor field study with focus on differential diagnoses of peste des petits ruminants virus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malin Päärni; [2016]
    Keywords : peste des petits ruminants virus; foot and mouth disease virus; bluetongue virus; bovine viral diarrhoea; border disease virus; contagious caprine pleuropneumonia; seroprevalence; Tanzania; sheep; goats;

    Abstract : This degree project has been performed as a Minor Field Study (MFS) in Tanzania, investigating the seroprevalence in goats and sheep of three diseases causing similar signs as peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV): foot and mouth disease (FMD), bluetongue (BT) and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), as well as bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) and border disease (BDV) which is believed to affect an outbreak of PPR due to immunosuppression. Sheep and goats play a key role in national food and nutritional security, income security and livelihood resilience in the least economically developed countries across the world and because of the complicated epidemiology and socio-economic impact of these diseases it is of great interest to further evaluate the prevalence of PPRV and its differential diagnosis.

  5. 14. Miljögifters påverkan på delfiners hälsa och överlevnad : individ och populationsnivå

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

    Author : Elvira Palmborg; [2016]
    Keywords : delfiner; miljögifter; PCB; DDT; PBDE; HCH; PFC; PAH; kadmium; kvicksilver; dolphins; environmental contaminants; cadmium;

    Abstract : Delfiner är utsatta för många antropogena hot, där en av dessa är miljögifter. Bioackumulering och biomagnifiering uppstår ofta på grund av delfinernas höga position i näringskedjan och miljögifternas persistens, vilket resulterar i höga nivåer av föroreningar i späck. Detta kan i sin tur leda till olika toxiska effekter. READ MORE
