  1. 16. Tolerance to virus infections could explain increased winter colony survival observed in Varroa destructor-resistant honey bees

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Sofia Bouro Wallgren; [2018]
    Keywords : mite-resistance; mite-infestation; virus dynamics; tolerance mechanisms; Apis mellifera;

    Abstract : Honey bee colonies all over Europe and North America have been declining dramatically for over three decades and is continuing to do so which is causing significant threats to economy, agriculture and ecosystems. The main reason behind the declining colonies is an ectoparasitic mite known as Varroa destructor and viruses vectored by the mite. READ MORE

  3. 17. Modeling of the immune response during virus infection of the human respiratory tract

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Mikaela Giegold; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this master thesis a temporal model of the dynamics between virus and the immune system during a HRV infection was developed. The model was utilized to achieve numerical estimates for parameters governing the mechanisms in the immune system. Through a sensitivity analysis the interplay between different cells in the model was examined. READ MORE

  4. 18. Molecular characterization of soil-borne viruses infecting sugar beet in Europe and USA

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Efstratia Poimenopoulou; [2017]
    Keywords : beet necrotic yellow vein virus; beet soil-borne mosaic virus; beet soil-borne virus; beet virus Q; benyvirus; PCR; Polymyxa betae; pomovirus; RNA virus;

    Abstract : Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV, Benyvirus) is the causal agent of rhizomania disease. BNYVV and Beet soil-borne mosaic virus (BSBMV, Benyvirus) share high similarity in their genome organisation. READ MORE

  5. 19. Prevalence of Puumala virus (PUUV) in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) after a major boreal forest fire

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

    Author : Seyed Alireza Nematollahi Mahani; [2016]
    Keywords : bank vole; Puumala virus prevalence; forest fire; habitat loss;

    Abstract : Our knowledge on the impact of forest fires on the prevalence (proportion of infected individuals in a population) and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens is largely limited. A large forest fire in late 2006 at Bodträskfors in northern Sweden provided a unique opportunity to investigate the effect of habitat change on disease prevalence. READ MORE

  6. 20. Antigena strukturer av betydelse för ett skyddande förvärvat immunsvar mot ekvint infektiöst anemivirus (EIAV) : Antigenic structures involved in development of protective acquired immunity against equine infectious anemia

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

    Author : Andrea Larsson; [2014]
    Keywords : ekvin infektiös anemi virus; förvärvat immunförsvar; cellmedierat immunförsvar; antikroppsamedierat immunförsvar; värd-virusdynamik; neutraliserande antikroppar; equine infectious anemia; acquired immunity; cellmediated immunresponse; humoral immunresponse; host-virus dynamics; neutralizing antibody;

    Abstract : Denna litteraturstudie undersöker vilka immunogena strukturer som har betydelse för utveckling av ett skyddande förvärvat immunsvar mot ekvint infektiöst anemivirus (EIAV). Ekvin infektiös anemi (EIA) är en virussjukdom som drabbar hästdjur. READ MORE
