1. Tick-borne diseases in roe deer - seroprevalence, possible cut-off and effects on health
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public HealthAbstract : Understanding the interaction between roe deer and pathogens could potentially help us improve the health in both roe deer and humans. Here, I focused on broadening our basic understanding about three specific tick-borne pathogens, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. READ MORE

2. Safety and Stability of Samples Stored on Filter Paper for Molecular Arbovirus Diagnosis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Expanding urbanization, climate change, and population growth contribute to increased transmission and spread of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), many of which cause severe disease in humans. Pathogenic arboviruses include dengue, Zika, tick-borne encephalitis, and sindbis viruses, which together threaten more than half the global population. READ MORE

4. Species identification and pathogen detection by FLUIDIGM, a high-throughput PCR technique in ticks collected from northern Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public HealthAbstract : Due to the environmental climate changes, northern Sweden is potentially a geographical area where new tick species could become established and introduce along with them new tick-borne pathogens. High-throughput real-time PCR, FLUIDIGM, was selected to perform the pathogen detection in this study. READ MORE
