  1. 1. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

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

    Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
    Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

    Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

  3. 2. Constructing supported lipid bilayers from native cell membranes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemi

    Author : Tommy Dam; [2018]
    Keywords : T cells; Model membrane systems; Supported lipid bilayers; SLB; biophysical chemistry; biofysikalisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid vesicles onto a cleaned glass slide. READ MORE

  4. 3. Advanced Technologies for Detection of Cryptosporidum parvum in Drinking water: capture and detection using Microfluidic devices and Imaging Flow Cytometer

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Safa Karimi Molan; [2017]
    Keywords : Drinking water treatment; pathogen detection; Cryptosporidium; microfluidic devices; Imaging flow Cytometry; Capture efficiency;

    Abstract : Protecting drinking water supplies from pathogens such as Cryptosporidium parvum is a major concern for water treatment plants worldwide. The sensitivity and specificity of current detection methods are largely determined by the effectiveness of the concentration and separation methods used. READ MORE

  5. 4. Cross-sectional study of the prevalence of Babesia bigemina in Uganda : wildlife-livestock interface at and around LMNP

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

    Author : Anna Schischke; [2015]
    Keywords : Babesia bigemina; wildlife-livestock interface; cattle; Uganda; vilda djur; nötkreatur;

    Abstract : Ticks and the diseases they transmit are of major importance throughout the world. In Uganda, cattle are the most important livestock from an economic point of view. Livestock keepers fear bi-directional transmission of tick-borne pathogens between their livestock and wild animals. READ MORE

  6. 5. En undersökning av sambandet mellan djurvälfärd och utsöndring av kryptosporidier hos unga kalvar i två besättningar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Lena-Mari Tamminen; [2013]
    Keywords : Djurvälfärd; Kalv; Utsöndring; Kryptosporidier;

    Abstract : Stress påverkar immunförsvaret och den fysiska hälsan samt individens välfärd och dess psykologiska hälsa men verkningsmekanismerna är fortfarande relativt outforskade. Det finns indikationer på att djur med lägre välfärd är mer stressade och därmed känsligare för infektion samt har svårare att göra sig av med infekterande agens än djur med högre välfärd. READ MORE
