- Reproductive effort can have profound effects on subsequent performance. Field experiments on the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) have demonstrated a number of trade-offs between life-history traits at different ages. The mechanism by which reproductive effort is mediated into future reproductive performance remains obscure. Anti-parasite adaptations such as cell-mediated immunity may probably also be costly. Hence the possibility exists of a trade-off between reproductive effort and the ability to resist parasitic infection. Serological tests on unmanipulated collared flycatchers show that pre-breeding nutritional status correlates positively with reproductive success and negatively with susceptibility to parasitism (viruses, bacteria and protozoan parasites). Both immune response and several indicators of infectious disease correlate negatively with reproductive success. Similar relations are found between secondary sexual characters and infection parameters. For brood-size-manipulated birds there was a significant interaction between experimentally increased reproductive effort and parasitic infection rate with regard to both current and future fecundity. It seems possible that the interaction between parasitic infection, nutrition and reproductive effort can be an important mechanism in the ultimate shaping of life-history variation in avian populations.

Chimeric MOMP antigen
- 2014
-
Patent (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The present invention regards polypeptides capable of eliciting an immunological response that is protective against Chlamydia trachomatis. The polypeptide comprises a first amino acid sequence which has at least 90% homology with the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and a second amino acid sequence which has at least 90% homology with the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2. Furthermore, production of these polypeptides and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them are also provided.

Data mining of the dog genome reveals novel Canine Endogenous Retroviruses(CfERVs)
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Mining the dog genome for canine endogenous retroviruses (CfERV) using the program RetroTector© identified 407 CfERVs (0.15% of the total genome size). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the majority of these CfERVs belong to the gammaretroviridae (n=313) genus. In this group, we found 33 integrated CfERVs with similarity to the human HERV-Fc1. Eighteen of them had conserved open reading frames open and seven of the 18 were recent integrations (≤ 5% LTR divergence). Some of these CfERVs may have potential for active retrotransposition and could actively contribute to the plasticity of canine genomes. Similar to other vertebrates, betaretroviruses (n=28) was the second most common group. In addition, four spuma-like and four gypsy-like CfERVs were identified, the latter group being rare in vertebrate genomes. Moreover, we identified 55 CfERVs that could not be classified unambiguously to any known retroviral genera. The integration landscape shows that all dog chromosomes have CfERV integrations with non-uniform distribution both along and across chromosomes. Some regions were essentially devoid of CfERVs whereas other regions had large numbers. Notably, in a comparison between dog and human genomes, CfERV were approximately one fifth of the amount of HERVs found. Species-specific mechanisms for purging and protection against retroviral infections are suggested to act in the dog genome. The CfERV integration pattern showed that a substantial fraction of annotated genes were found within 100 kb distance from annotated proviruses. The majority of such integrations were placed in antisense orientation relative to the transcriptional direction of the neighboring chromosomal genes. In conclusion, our results from Canis familiaris genome analysis support the notion that different mammals may interact distinctively with endogenous retroviruses.
