• Effect of resource availability on evolution of virulence and competition in an environmentally transmitted pathogen 

  Pulkkinen, Katja; Pekkala, Nina; Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Hämäläinen, Dorrit M.; Nkembeng, Aloysius N.; Lipponen, Anssi; Hiltunen, Teppo; Valkonen, Janne; Taskinen, Jouni (Federation of European Microbiological Societies; Oxford University Press, 2018)

  Understanding ecological and epidemiological factors driving pathogen evolution in contemporary time scales is a major challenge in modern health management. Pathogens that replicate outside the hosts are subject to selection ...

• Exploring evolutionary responses to increasing temperature in an environmental opportunistic pathogen 

  Ashrafi, Roghaieh (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

• Immunological priming in the wood tiger moth (Parasemia plantaginis) 

  Kaukoniitty, Minna (2014)

  Hyönteisiin lukeutuu monia merkittäviä tuholaisia, taudinvälittäjiä ja hyödyllisiä lajeja, minkä takia hyönteisten taudit, taudinaiheuttajat ja immuunipuolustus ovat ekologisesta, ekonomisesta ja lääketieteellisestä ...

• Interactive effects between diet and genotypes of host and pathogen define the severity of infection 

  Zhang, Ji; Friman, Ville-Petri; Laakso, Jouni; Mappes, Johanna (Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)

  Host resistance and parasite virulence are influenced by multiple interacting factors in complex natural communities. Yet, these interactive effects are seldom studied concurrently, resulting in poor understanding of ...

• Higher resource level promotes virulence in an environmentally transmitted bacterial fish pathogen 

  Kinnula, Hanna; Mappes, Johanna; Valkonen, Janne; Pulkkinen, Katja; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)

  Diseases have become a primary constraint to sustainable aquaculture, but remarkably little attention has been paid to a broad class of pathogens: the opportunists. Opportunists often persist in the environment outside the ...
