Lungmask och löpmagsnematod hos nötkreatur

Infection with intestinal parasites can in many cases be the reason for decreased performance or production. The gastro-intestinal nematode, Ostertagia ostertagi, and the lungworm, Dictyocaulus viviparus, are the most pathogenic nematodes of cattle and severe infection can lead to death. They have both a direct lifecycle and on the pasture the parasites spread as freeliving worms. The parasites are mainly a problem for the first season grazers. They have not developed immunity against the parasites and are therefor more sensitive to parasite infections.

Rotavirus zoonotiska potential : kan infekterade föl smitta människa?

Rotavirus causes diarrhea in young mammals all over the world, including infant humans. The diarrhea leads to severe dehydration that can be fatal if left untreated. The dehydration can be treated with fluid therapy and the infection heals itself. Despite the relatively easy treatment half a million children under the age of five dies every year due to diarrhea caused by rotavirus. Rotavirus sorts into the family Reoviridae and is a double-stranded RNA virus with a segmented genome.

Klamydiainfektioner i Sverige  : Kan en geografisk analys förklara det rumsliga mönstret?

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection. The infection rates have increased in the last decade. During 2008 the trend rates declined in all counties and regions in Sweden. Chlamydia infections have a geographical spatial pattern differences. This is seen from the national surveillance data report from the Swedish Institute for infectious disease control (SMI).

Stump treatment with the root rot antagonist phlebiopsis gigantea : - sensitivity of P. gigantea spores to high pressure stress; - reduced water consumption for stump treatment

Stump treatment today requires large quantities of clean water mixed with the protective product Rotstop, to fully cover the stump surface. In order to reduce the water consumption without reducing the coverage of the stump surface, the pressure in the stump treatment device can be increased. Therefore, the Phlebiopsis gigantea (Fr.) Jül. suspension used as a biological control agent to prevent Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. infection was pressure-tested.

Vaccination mot Humant Papillomvirus - vem bör vaccineras?

Background: Infection with Human Papillomavirus, HPV, is one of the world's most common sexual transmitted infections. The virus causes genital warts (condyloma) but certain virus types can cause cancer. The most common cancer type caused by the virus is cancer of the cervix. Nowadays there is a screening program for women between 23 and 60 years of age where Pap smears of the cervix is taken to discover abnormalities at an early stage. Cervical cancer is very common all over the world and this screening program saves many lives, but not in the less developed countries since the screening program is too expensive.

Development of new food products with components active against Helicobacter pylori - with purpose to improve gastric health in humans

Gastric and intestinal disorders are common and costly human health problems worldwide. Helicobacter pylori are a gram-negative, pathogen bacteria and the most common cause of duodenal and gastric ulcer in the stomach the intestinal mucosa. Prolonged infection and colonization can lead to chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. H. pylori are present in the gastric and intestinal mucosa of half of the world population and a relation between infection and low socioeconomic status has been shown.

Mårdhunden ? ett hot mot europeiska ekosystem?

Mårdhunden är en invasiv art i Europa och har tack vare sin generalistiska diet, hög reproduktivitet och stor anpassningsbarhet lyckats etablera sig i stora delar av Nord-, Öst- och Centraleuropa. Den introducerades i tidigare västra Sovjetunionen mellan 1929 och 1955 med syftet att få ett nytt pälsdjur att jaga. Då mårdhunden gärna vandrar långa sträckor spred den sig snart från utsättningsområdena och etablerades i Europa. I dagsläget finns det en oro för att den ska påverka andra arter och deras ekosystem samt att den ska sprida olika parasit- och virussjukdomar. Min studie undersöker om man sett någon påverkan på andra arter och huruvida mårdhunden fungerar som sjukdomsspridare.

Hårvårdsverksamheter ur ett miljö- och hälsoskyddsperspektiv : Kartläggning av frisörer i Danderyd och Vaxholm och utarbetande av checklista för inspektioner

Hair care is a hygienic treatment and is supervised by the Local Environment and Public Health Committee in the municipality. According to the Swedish Environmental Code, hairdressers as all practitioners are required to take measurements to protect the environment and public health. In hygienic treatments hazards may arise from inadequate hygiene practice which spread infection. Hazards may also arise from the use of hair care products such as permanent wave solutions, bleaches and hair dyes. Some hair dye components are known to cause contact allergy, mostly in hair dressers who are exposed professionally but also in some cases in consumers.

Leder ESBL-producerande bakterier till ökade samhällskostnader i Sverige?

Due to long time of overconsumption of antibiotic, the possibility of an effective infection treatment is now threatened. Bacteria have begun develop resistant against antibiotic, witch is most due to bacteria that do not normally develop resistant. These kinds of bacteria produce ESBL, and have made the healthcare costs increase around twice as much, as for bacteria that do not produce ESBL..

Clostridium difficile toxins in meat-producing guinea pigs in the highlands of Peru

The guinea pig is an important meat-producing animal in Peru as well as in several other South American countries. They are held in different kinds of systems, from the small backyard breeders with few animals to the large commercial farms with thousands of guinea pigs. One of the major issues at the farms is animals dying of unknown causes. Salmonellosis is often considered as a major cause, but samples for confirmation are rarely taken. It has been known for a long time that Clostridium difficile (C.

Hydrofob interaktion : en resurs för att reducera antibiotikaanvändningen

It is important to know what is normal in the wound healing process in order to determine what happens when a wound does not heal as expected. If the amount of bacteria in the wound gets too large the body will not be able to defend itself and it becomes an infection. Colonization and infection are common elements in wound management and it is often the veterinary nurse role to deal with wounds in a proper manner. Antibiotics are drugs that either kill or inhibit the multiplication of bacteria or fungi, and have been in veterinary medicine for approximately 60 years. Very few new antibiotics are introduced and increased resistance is a major problem that requires everyone to take responsibility to reduce the use of it.

Hiv i Sverige - Prevention, sexuella attityder & beteenden

ABSTRACT. Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which occurs worldwide and spreads between humans mainly through sex, from mother to child, blood and blood products and between injecting drug users. After been infected with HIV for a couple of years the final stage of the infection progress into Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and there is no cure or vaccine, only medication that delays the development of the disease. Objective: The aim of this thesis is to examine the preventive work against HIV in Sweden, the groups at risk for getting infected and to highlight sexual attitudes and behaviours among adolescents and young adults. Method: A literature based study method was used and the material is based on scientific articles and reports from active actors within the field of HIV prevention.

EN KARTLÄGGNING OM VÅRDPERSONALENS KUNSKAP OM BASALA HYGIENRUTINER : - Enkätundersökning utförd på Skaraborgs sjukhus

Bakgrund: En vårdrelaterad infektion (VRI) är en av de vanligaste komplikationer som drabbar patienter som vårdas på sjukhus eller andra vårdinrättningar; uppskattningsvis drabbas cirka 10 % av patienterna. Basala hygienrutiner är en effektiv metod för att förhindra kontaktsmitta och därmed minska spridningen av VRI. Enligt Socialstyrelsens föreskrifter om basala hygienrutiner inom hälso- och sjukvården ska vårdpersonalen för att begränsa VRI iaktta dessa åtgärder vid all undersökning, behandling eller annan direktkontakt med patienten.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga vårdpersonalens kunskaper om basala hygienrutiner och om det finns faktorer som påverkar följsamheten till de basala hygienrutinerna.Metod: Studien hade en kvantitativ ansats med icke experimentell design, där personalens kunskaper om basala hygienrutiner beskrevs och mättes. Hypoteser utformades och testades. Deskriptiv- och sambandsanalys genomfördes på resultatet.Resultat: Kunskapsnivån hos personalen är relativt hög men förbättringspotential finns.

A literature study on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) : classification, resistance mechanisms, risk factors and clonal distribution

The increased frequency of reported Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of great concern to small animal healthcare due to limited options of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this literature study is to investigate 1) characteristics and classification of S. pseudintermedius, 2) resistance mechanisms and emergence of MRSP, 3) risk factors for selection of MRSP, and 4) clonal distribution around the world. S. pseudintermedius is a skin and mucosal commensal in healthy dogs and cats, but can cause infections, including pyoderma. Beta-lactam antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the penicillin binding protein (PBP), a vital enzyme in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
