Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a serious health risk and the societal costs may be high.
This project will provide a much-needed basis for LA-MRSA control in Swedish pig production. Due to a lack of strategy for positive findings, no surveillance is currently conducted. The project uses theoretical models to simulate the spread of LA-MRSA, and different control measures are assessed for cost-efficiency.
In this PhD project, the basic model is built and simulation of spread and control comes next. Collaboration with researchers in Denmark and Norway uses their experiences and data. Cooperation with Swedish farmers' organisations and veterinary authorities ensures that the results are directly applicable for the end-users.
Antibiotikaresistens (AMR) är en global utmaning för djur- och folkhälsa. I WHOs handlingsplan mot AMR nämns särskilt LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), som är vanligt hos grisar i många länder. Folkhälsorisken är generellt låg, men för drabbade är LA-MRSA en allvarlig hälsorisk och samhällskostnaderna kan bli höga.
Projektet ska ge underlag för hantering av LA-MRSA i svensk grisproduktion. Idag görs ingen övervakning då en strategi för att hantera smittade besättningar saknas. I projektet simuleras smittspridning i teoretiska modeller och olika kontrollåtgärder testas för att utvärdera vad som är kostnadseffektivt.
Projektet är ett doktorandprojekt, grundläggande modellering är klar och nu ska smittspridning och kontroll simuleras. Via samarbete med forskare i Danmark och Norge nyttjas erfarenheter och data i dessa länder. Samverkan med svenska djurägarorganisationer och myndigheter innebär direkt applicerbara resultat för användarna.

During the last decade, neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) has become an increased problem in Swedish herds. Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A (CpA) and C. difficile (Cd) have been highlighted as causes of NPD but their importance has also been questioned. We have previously demonstrated that CpA …

Mixed leys are among the most important crops in northern Sweden for the dairy production. Mapping the within and between fields variability of the biomass, nitrogen (N) uptake and potentially also forage quality (digestibility and neutral detergent fibre) would help farmers to optimise their …

In nature, piglets are exposed to a wide range of bacteria that promote a balanced (healthy) gut microbiota. On the farm, routine cleaning can limit exposure to beneficial bacteria leading to an unbalanced gut microbiota. An unbalanced gut microbiota increases the risk of health problems and alters …

Motor laterality, such as left or right-handedness, is a well-known asymmetric phenomenon in both humans and animals, incl. horses. Concurrently, lameness caused by orthopaedic injury is a common cause for asymmetry. In our study of riding horses in training, 73 % had motion asymmetries, warranting …

Flea beetles are serious insect pests in spring oilseed rape. After neonicotinoid seed treatments were restricted, no effective chemical control methods are currently available for flea beetle control. Crop protection has therefore become a serious limiting factor for growing the crop. In an …

Many horses in training show motion asymmetries, but it is not known if these are due to pain caused by training; or due to individual biological variations. The aim of this project is to initiate three cohort studies where changes in motion symmetry will be monitored over time in riding horses and …
