Monitoring of ticks and tick-borne pathogens through a nationwide research station network in Finland.
2020
In 2015 a long-term, nationwide tick and tick-borne pathogen (TBP) monitoring project was started by the Finnish Tick Project and the Finnish Research Station network (RESTAT), with the goal of producing temporally and geographically extensive data regarding exophilic ticks in Finland. In the current study, we present results from the first four years of this collaboration. Ticks were collected by cloth dragging from 11 research stations across Finland in May September 2015-2018 (2012-2018 in Seili). Collected ticks were screened for twelve different pathogens by qPCR: Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia valaisiana, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia miyamotoi, Babesia sp…
The Western Alps from the Jurassic to Oligocene: spatio-temporal constraints and evolutionary reconstructions
2005
Abstract Despite extensive research in the last 150 years, the regional tectonic reconstruction of the Western Alps has remained controversial. The curved orogenic belt consists of several ribbon-like continental terranes (Sesia/Austroalpine, Internal Crystalline Massifs, Brianconnais), which are separated by two or more ophiolitic sutures (Piemonte, Valais, Antrona?, Lanzo/Canavese?). High-pressure (HP) metamorphism of each terrane occurred during distinct orogenic episodes: at ∼65 Ma in the Sesia/Austroalpine, at ∼45 Ma in the Piemonte zone and at ∼35 Ma in the Internal Crystalline Massifs. It is suggested that these events reflect individual accretionary episodes, which together with kin…

Ticks infesting humans in Italy and associated pathogens
2014
Background: Ticks may transmit a large variety of pathogens, which cause illnesses in animals and humans, commonly referred to as to tick-borne diseases (TBDs). The incidence of human TBDs in Italy is underestimated because of poor surveillance and the scant amount of studies available. Methods. Samples (n = 561) were collected from humans in four main geographical areas of Italy (i.e., northwestern, northeastern, southern Italy, and Sicily), which represent a variety of environments. After being morphologically identified, ticks were molecularly tested with selected protocols for the presence of pathogens of the genera Rickettsia, Babesia, Theileria, Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis, Bor…
Prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ticks collected from migratory birds in Latvia.
2014
Migratory birds act as hosts and long-distance vectors for several tick-borne infectious agents. Here, feeding Ixodes ticks were collected from migratory birds during the autumn migration period in Latvia and screened for the presence of epidemiologically important non-viral pathogens. A total of 93 DNA samples of ticks (37 larvae and 56 nymphs) removed from 41 birds (order Passeriformes, 9 species) was tested for Lyme borreliosis spirochaetes, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia spp., and Babesia spp. Borrelia burgdorferi DNA was detected in 18% of the tick samples, and a majority of infected ticks were from thrush (Turdus spp.) birds. Among the infected ticks, Borrelia valaisiana was de…

Teknisten ja katsojasta riippuvien tekijöiden vaikutus radiologisten kuvien havainnointiin
2011
Tutkielmassa kartoitettiin katsojan havainnointikyvyn ja näyttöpäätteen kuvanlaadun vaikutuksia kuvanhavainnointiin. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat havainnointitarkkuuteen eniten ja voitaisiinko sitä merkittävästi parantaa teknisin toimenpitein. Kiinnostuksen kohteena oli myös, eroavatko kliinikoiden ja radiologien tulokset toisistaan. Tutkimus toteutettiin Keski-Suomen keskussairaalassa selainpohjaisena kyselytutkimuksena. Katsojan ominaisuuksia selvitettiin taustoittavilla kysymyksillä, näyttöjärjestelmän kuvanlaatua visuaalisilla testeillä ja havainnointitarkkuutta kontrasti-detalji-testeillä. Vastaajia oli 64, joista kliinikkoja 52 ja radiologeja 12. Tuloksista sel…
