Characterisation and analysis of the NS1 gene of tick-borne encephalitis virus
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) encodes a highly immunogenic ncnstructural glycoprotein, NS1. The proposed NS1 gene from the TE V strains Neudörfl and K23 was identified, cloned and sequenced. The NS1 gene from the Neudorfl strain of TBEV was then cloned under the powerful constitutive …

Maintaining pathogens with short infectivity in seasonally structured tick populations: relative importance of three transmission pathways
Infectivity periods of different tick-borne pathogens in host species can vary widely, and the variation affects how the pathogens are maintained in tick populations. In addition to systemic and vertical transmission, cofeeding transmission has been proposed as an important route for the …

Role of <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> Sphingomyelinase-Like Protein (IsSMase) in Tick Pathogen Interactions
<p>Arthropod-borne diseases are one of the major concerns throughout the world. <em>Ixodes scapularis</em> (hard tick) is one of the major vectors that is involved in arthropod-borne disease transmission. Langat virus (LGTV) is a model pathogen that is very similar to other medically important …

Characterization of Flavivirus-Infected Neurons
Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne flavivirus (TBFV) that can cause severe encephalitis in humans with a case fatality rate as high as 15%. Patients who survived severe encephalitic disease can develop long-term sequelae that can be debilitating and life-long. In this dissertation, a primary …

Viral metagenomics and phylogenomics for One Health
… chapter I analysed 22 metatranscriptomes from tick samples from different parts of Italy, obtaining a set of 91 viral contigs for which I reconstructed the phylogeny, with the aim to identify the presence of possible pathogens and characterise the unexplored viral diversity in the country. This …

Untersuchungen zur differenzialdiagnostischen Bedeutung des IgG-Index und Albuminquotienten bei neurologisch erkrankten Hunden
… were observed in dogs with central European tick-borne encephalitis. Dogs with white dog shaker disease were the only ones to exhibit an exclusive increase in the IgG index. 36% of the patients with tumors showed an increase in IgG index and 64% an increase in albumin quotient. In 18% of the …

Human Antibody Response to Flaviviruses and SARS-Coronavirus-2
… for epidemic outbreaks. These include tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), Powassan virus (POWV), Zika virus (ZIKV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The first part of this thesis focuses on encephalitis-causing tick-borne flaviviruses, specifically TBEV …

Interaktion des Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis- Virus mit antigenpräsentierenden Zellen
Zusammenfassung Das Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis-Virus (FSME-Virus) gehört zu der Familie der Flaviviren und ist innerhalb Europas das am weitesten verbreitete von Arthropoden übertragene Virus. Eine Infektion des Menschen mit dem FSME-Virus erfolgt zumeist über den Stich einer infizierten Zecke …
