  1. 1. Fibropapillomatosis in Green Sea Turtles in Kenya: : Prevalence of Chelonid Herpesvirus 5 in Tumor and Non-Tumor tissue

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Adam A. Ibrahim; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: In 2012, approximately 15 % of human cancer cases were attributable to infectious agents worldwide. Fibropapillomatosis is a marine turtle disease characterized by growth of tumors on the shell, skin, eyes, oral cavity and/or viscera of the animals. READ MORE

  3. 2. Detection of root borne pathogen causing pea root rot by using minion sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Aderemi Olubode; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated pulse in the temperate zone, economically important with high nutritional value (high protein content of 20-30%) and relatively low cost. Root rot is its predominant disease, it is referred to as root rot complex because it involves many pathogens. READ MORE

  4. 3. Replacement of fish protein in fish feed : effects on the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Hanna Rydmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbiota; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; fishmeal; mussel meal; Mytilus edulis; aquaculture;

    Abstract : The aim with this study was to investigate how feeds with different protein sources influence the levels and composition of the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Arctic charr were fed for two weeks on a control diet (C) with fishmeal (FM) or experimental diets with 40% FM replaced by yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Y), meal from blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) (M) or a feed with Baltic Sea originated protein; 33% FM, 33% mussel meal (MM) and 33% S.

  5. 4. Understanding sequence errors in analysis of short tandem repeats through optimisation of a library preparation protocol utilising unique molecular indices

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Nelly Gyllö Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : polymerase chain reaction; massively parallel sequencing; DNA analysis; short tandem repeats; DNA polymerase; unique molecular indices;

    Abstract : In the last few years massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has become important for forensic DNA analysis by providing new and broader possibilities, such as increased discrimination power for short tandem repeat (STR) analyses. An imperative part of MPS analysis is library preparation where there is a fundamental reliability on in vitro DNA polymerisation, which is prone to errors. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
