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

  Ashrafi, Roghaieh (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

• 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 ...

• Nutrient enrichment increases virulence in an opportunistic environmental pathogen, with greater effect at low bacterial doses 

  Pulkkinen, Katja; Taskinen, Jouni (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2024)

  Eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is associated with an increased risk of pathogen infection via increased pathogen growth and host exposure via increased pathogen doses. Here we studied the effect of nutrients on the ...

• The influence of infective dose, nutrient availability and coinfection on virulence of Flavobacterium columnare : implications of intensive aquaculture on opportunistic infections 

  Kinnula, Hanna (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)

  Ecological factors are known to affect disease dynamics and even lead to disease emergence. Especially in opportunistic, environmentally transmitted pathogens, the environment may significantly contribute to pathogen ...

• Prevalence of genetically similar Flavobacterium columnare phages across aquaculture environments reveals a strong potential for pathogen control 

  Runtuvuori‐Salmela, A.; Kunttu, H. M. T.; Laanto, E.; Almeida, G. M. F.; Mäkelä, K.; Middelboe, M.; Sundberg, L‐R. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)

  Intensive aquaculture conditions expose fish to bacterial infections, leading to significant financial losses, extensive antibiotic use and risk of antibiotic resistance in target bacteria. Flavobacterium columnare causes ...
