  1. 1. Emerging infectious diseases : using PCV2 as a model of disease transmission dynamics at the livestock-wildlife interface in Uganda

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

    Author : Linnea Jonsson; [2013]
    Keywords : PCV2; disease transmission; livestock-wildlife; emerging infectious diseases EID ; sjukdomstransmission; vilda djur – tamdjur; EID; Uganda;

    Abstract : Uganda anses vara ett högriskland för utveckling av nya plötsligt uppdykande sjukdomar (emerging infectious diseases, EID). Grisproduktionen i Uganda har ökat drastiskt de senaste åren och en stor del av Ugandas grisar är frigående. De kan därför lätt komma i kontakt med vilda djur i deras närområde. READ MORE

  4. 3. Immunostimulatory DNA : studies on the importance of secondary structure formation and CpG-motifs for IFN-alpha induction/inhibition using ODNs related to the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Josefine Elving; [2006]
    Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; secondary structure; inhibitory; PCR; ODN;

    Abstract : Nucleotide sequences containing CpG-motifs are recognized as immunomodulators in pigs among other species. Phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), such as ODN H, have been demonstrated to be potent inducers of interferon-alpha (INF-alpha) in porcine blood mononuclear cells (poPBMC) provided they are pre-treated with Lipofectin®.

  5. 4. Retrospektiv studie av porcint circovirus typ 2 och postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome i Sverige

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Maria Hermansson; [2005]
    Keywords : porcint; circovirus; typ2; PMWS; postweaning; multisystemic; wasting; syndrome;

    Abstract : Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a common virus present in most parts of the world. PCV2 has been pointed out as the major causative agent to post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) that affects pigs after weaning. The clinical symptoms of PMWS are impaired growth, diarrhoea, respiratory problems and increased mortality. READ MORE

  6. 5. Interferon-α-modulatory sequences from the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Frida Hasslung; [2003]
    Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; inhibitory;

    Abstract : Porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2 is an emerging pathogen among pigs, which has been associated with several severe disease syndromes. To date little is known of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of PCV, and how the virus affects the immune system of the host. READ MORE
