  1. 1. Spatial distribution and thermo-climatic effects on the abundance of non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae in Russia

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Author : Vadim Leonov; [2023]
    Keywords : V. cholerae; spatial analysis; climate change; heat wave; SatScan; vibriosis; Russia;

    Abstract : The identification of climate temperature-sensitive pathogens and infectious diseases is essential in addressing health risks resulting from global warming. Such research is especially crucial in regions where climate change may have a more significant impact like Russia. Recent studies have reasoned that the abundance of V. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Influence of Natural Radon Occurrence on the Severity of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany: a Spatial Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ignatius Gabriel Aloysius Maria Perera; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Epidemiology; Germany; SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19; Radon; Spatial regression; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The exposure to naturally occurring, radioactive noble gas radon is known to cause permanent damage in lung tissue. Lung diseases and prior radiation of lung tissue have been identified as contributing to a severe progression of COVID-19. READ MORE

  4. 3. Beaver wetland and lake effects on Francisella tularensis in Swedish landscapes and hares

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Lovisa Pihlgren Hökby; [2022]
    Keywords : tularemia; francisella tularensis hola; beavers; hares; wetland restauration; epizoology; vector borne diseases;

    Abstract : The zoonotic disease tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis that infects both humans and wildlife in Sweden. Associations between outbreaks of tularemia and lakes and rivers have earlier been observed, and semi-aquatic rodents and mosquitoes are believed to be key species groups in the epidemiological cycle of the disease.

  6. 5. Spatiotemporal Fidelity of a Metapopulational Model Evaluated on the COVID-19 Pandemic in Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Filip Skogh; [2021]
    Keywords : Epidemiology; COVID-19; Sweden; Metapopulation; SEIR; Model;

    Abstract : A modified SEIR compartmental model is constructed for COVID-19 in a metapopulational setting with fine-scaled population data. The model is stochastically simulated with GLEAMviz that provides realistic short and long distance mobility based on real-world data. READ MORE
