• Genetic and environmental factors associated with the virulence of fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare 

  Penttinen, Reetta (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• Broad thermal tolerance is negatively correlated with virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen 

  Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Bruneaux, Matthieu; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina; Pulkkinen, Katja; Valkonen, Janne; Ketola, Tarmo (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc., 2018)

  Predicting the effects of global increase in temperatures on disease virulence is challenging, especially for environmental opportunistic bacteria, because pathogen fitness may be differentially affected by temperature ...
