Health and diseases of semi-domesticated reindeer in a climate change perspective
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-04-21)
Climate change may affect reindeer herding and the health and disease of reindeer in several ways. One way of mitigating such changes is supplementary feeding, both in corrals and by bringing fodder to the animals on natural pastures. Feeding, when the right feed and feeding regime are used, may compensate for the loss of natural pastures and increase animal welfare. However, feeding may also cause ...
CRISPR/Cas9 to Silence Long Non-Coding RNAs
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-06-24)
Knock-out (KO) of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) enables functional characterization of this still poorly described group of transcripts. One of the most efficient and simplest methods to achieve complete KO of a lncRNA is by employing CRISPR/Cas gene editing. As most lncRNAs are not well annotated, their individual functional regions are not defined, and the majority of the transcripts are not ...

Vibrio vulnificus
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
<i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> er en bakterie som trives i saltvann over 20 grader og som kan gi sykdom hos personer med sår eller nedsatt immunforsvar (såkalt opportunistisk infeksjon). Alvorlige sykdom forekommer oftest nær Taiwan, Sør-Korea, Japan og i Mexicogolfen. I senere år er det rapportert flere tilfeller med alvorlige infeksjon med <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> hos personer som har badet i nordiske ...
Candida auris
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
Candida auris (C. auris) er en gjærsopp som kan forårsake alvorlige infeksjoner hos mennesker. Infeksjoner med Candida auris forekommer i hovedsak i helseinstitusjoner og rammer som regel alvorlig syke pasienter. I tillegg er behandling vanskelig fordi soppen ofte er resistent/motstandsdyktig mot de vanligste medikamentene som brukes ved Candida-infeksjon.
