(PhD Thesis;2018:99, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi that can have a variety of adverse effects on animals and humans. One of the most common mycotoxins produced by Fusarium fungi is the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON), and ... -
Detection and quantification of the food-related bacterial toxins cereulide, lichenysin and botulinum neurotoxin/CD with liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry
(PhD Thesis;2015:103, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-13)Food‐ and waterborne illness has a tremendous impact on the society, both economically and through the vast number of diseased people. Increased focus on food safety both at the consumer level and in the food producing ... -
Detection and viability assessment of foodborne parasites of public health importance on berries
(PhD Thesis;2021:11, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Foodborne parasites (FBP) are public health concern throughout the world causing significant effects on the health and wellbeing of people. Despite the tremendous impact of FBP, the relative attention paid to avert their ... -
Detection of antibodies in Atlantic salmon using a bead-based multiplexed immunoassay
(PhD Thesis;2020:01, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Viral diseases are among of the main challenges in aquaculture in Norway today. Heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation, caused by Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), and pancreas disease (PD), caused by Salmonid alphavirus (SAV), ... -
Development of a total intravenous anaesthesia regime for use in pigs during live tissue training and biomedical research
(PhD Thesis;2021:55, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Large animal models are commonly used in biomedical research or for medical training purposes where cardiovascular instability is encountered. Pigs are frequently used as their cardiorespiratory anatomy and physiology are ... -
Development, optimization and field testing of a filtration method for detection of salmonid alphavirus in seawater
(PhD thesis;2021:38, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The commercial aquaculture is continuously growing with the demand for fish and seafood products. In Norway, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) constitute 94 % of the total aquaculture production, making it the most important ... -
Early environmental effects on laying hen development
(PhD Thesis;2016:57, Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-04)Chickens are widely used by humans in both farm production and in scientific research as model organisms. In the farming industry, they total 27 billion individuals worldwide (FAO, 2013). Over 6 billion of these are laying ... -
The effect of food chain stressors on Listeria monocytogenes
(PhD Thesis;2021:12, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of food-borne listeriosis, a disease often transmitted by contaminated Ready-To-Eat (RTE) food. Immunosuppressed individuals, fetuses, and the elderly are at higher risk of ... -
