New genomics and transcriptomics tools toward improving conservation strategies for sturgeons
(PhD Thesis;2020:12, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Sturgeons (Family Acipenseridae) are one of the largest and most primitive fish families on Earth. Although they have always been typically distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, during the last decades wild ... -
Noise reactivity and fear of fireworks in dogs : a study of genetic and phenotypic variables
(PhD Thesis;2023:1, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Noise reactivity is one of the most common behavioral problems in dogs. Even though various studies find significant differences in prevalence between breeds, and some also find gender differences, noise reactivity seems ... -
Non-neuronal functions of the prion protein : insights from a unique animal model
(PhD Thesis;2017:68, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The physiological function of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) remains enigmatic. A misfolded, infectious conformer of the protein, known as the scrapie isoform PrPSc, is able to aggregate in brain tissue and cause a group ... -
Non-typhoidal Salmonella in layer hen farms in Uganda : occurrence, biodiversity and antimicrobial resistance
(PhD Thesis;2018:83, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is an important global foodborne pathogen mainly acquired in humans from animal sources through consumption of contaminated animal products, contacts with animals or their environment, ... -
Nutrition and intestinal health in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) : involvement of antinutrients and microbiota
(PhD Thesis;2016:88, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The use of alternative protein ingredients to replace fishmeal in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) can have negative consequences for the fish intestinal health. The most severe intestinal physiological and morphological ... -
Pathogenesis studies of cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
(PhD Thesis;2021:78, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., is an infectious viral disease causing severe inflammation in the cardiac spongiosum of atrium and ventricle of the salmonid heart. The disease was ... -
Pathogenicity and infectivity of Saprolegnia species in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and their eggs
(PhD Thesis;2015:97, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-04)In the past decades the global population has becoming increasingly dependent on aquaculture due to over-fishing of oceans and rivers. Consequently, fish farming has become the fastest growing food sector in the world. ... -
Persistent infection of Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(PhD thesis;2021:49, Doctoral thesis, 2021)This thesis focuses on infection kinetics, infected cell types, viral shedding, and specific immune responses in persistently Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1) infected Atlantic salmon. The aim is to enhance the understanding ... -
