Students' knowledge of upper primary school about diseases transmitted by ticks
Michálková, Pavla ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Thorovská, Alena (referee)
The main research problem concerns the characteristics of tick-borne disease and determine the quantity and quality of information that students get in health education and biology of these diseases. The theoretical part deals with the history, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease. It also discusses the general problems of tick and other diseases that ticks carry and cause. Also is mentioned the inclusion of tick-borne diseases in the educational program. The practical part is devoted to the awareness of upper primary school students and changes in their knowledge about the issue during their elementary education. The aim of this thesis is to determine how the students are informed about diseases transmitted by ticks, especially about Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. This method is used questionnaire, which includes questions regarding this issue. Although the results of the research show a certain degree of knowledge of students at upper primary school, especially in some classes is unsatisfactory. Based on research, there is provided a recommendation for pedagogical practices. KEYWORDS: tick, tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease, knowledge, disease, upper primary school
Tick-Borne Diseases - Knowledge of High School Students
Vlček, Karel ; Pavlasová, Lenka (advisor) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
Tick-borne diseases are caused by a group of pathogenic microorganisms which are transmitted between animal and human population by vector which is most frequently tick. Evaluation of danger and perils of these diseases is important due to prevention and monitoring of current situation development. The most common tick-borne diseases in the Czech Republic are borreliosis, tick-borne encephalitis and ehrlichiosis. Rarely can we encounter bartonellosis, babesiosis, rickettsiosis and tularemia. All these diseases can have serious consequences and in critical cases they can result in death of the infected person. One of the basic and the most important of preventive measures which lower the risk of the infection by any tick-borne disease is prevention of tick encounter and eventually vaccination. Due to continual global warming we can expect that in near future ticks will spread even to locations which have been so far not suitable for their development. We can expect that we will even more frequently encounter tick-borne diseases - including diseases which were formerly not found in our territory or were very rare. As a part of health education it will be needed more to get known basic information of tick-borne diseases and their prevention. Different educational centres are an ideal place for...
Sledování exprese proteinů v savčích buňkách infikovaných virem klíšťové encefalitidy
KOČOVÁ, Pavlína
This study is focused on changes in protein expression in a glioblastoma cell line during infection with tick-borne encephalitis virus. Newly synthesized proteins were distinguished from previously synthesized proteins using bioorthogonal chemistry (BONCAT method) to observe changes in protein synthesis. Labelled proteins were visualized using two-dimensional PAGE and western blotting followed by Click reaction on membrane. Differences in protein pattern between control and infected cells were observed.
Tick-borne encephalitis risk assessment based on classification of vegetation from remote sensing data
Červená, Lucie ; Potůčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Pavelka, Karel (referee)
Tick-borne encephalitis risk assessment based on classification of vegetation from remote sensing data Abstract The main aim of this thesis has been to find out how to classify various categories of forest vegetation with a different risk of exposure to the tick-borne encephalitis based on the Landsat imagery. The legend used here is derived from the one used in the projects by Daniel, Kolář, Zeman (1995) and Daniel, Kolář, Beneš (1999) but has been reduced to only five classses with no overlaps in their definitions (I. coniferous stands, II. mixed stands, III. young deciduous stands and stand ecotones with a highly heterogeneous structure, IV. deciduous stands with a homogeneous structure, V. deciduous stands with a heterogeneous structure). The supervised classification with the Maximum Likelihood Classifier has been used on the Landsat imagery from various seasons. Difficulties concerned with the presence of clouds and varying Sun elevation across the imagery had to be adressed in the course of the work. The training sites and the control points have been defined by the field research and interpretation of the relevant orthophotomaps and Landsat imagery in 5-4-3 RGB composite. The mask of the forest has been created on the ZABAGED data basis. The time horizon of 2006 - 2010 has been the primary focus....
Antiviral vaccination - tick borne encephalitis virus
Solarová, Pavlína ; Janštová, Vanda (referee) ; Drda Morávková, Alena (advisor)
Tick borne encephalitis is by one of the most severe disease of central nervous system. Agent of this disease is tick-borne encephalitis virus, which is transmitted mainly by tick. Clinical picture of TBE is considerably different and varied in individuals - from quite infection without symptoms up to severe cerebro-spinal meningitis, in such cases attacked persons by this virus leave hospital with whole-life handicap. We can prevent this disease by inoculation. We can see it in the neighboring Austria, where TBE almost became extinct because 90% of population is vaccinated. Vaccines are commercially available from 1979. Nevertheless only 17% population is vaccinated against TBEV. The reason for it could be fact that insurance companies do not provide the vaccines as well as not very effective health education. One of possibilities how we can this tendency reverse would be higher awareness of pupils at schools. In school educational programs there is contained prevention of viral disease, especially in general biology, biology of viruses and education to health.
Tick-borne encephalitis - from pathogenesis to therapy
PALUS, Martin
The proposed thesis contributes to the knowledge about tick-borne encephalitis and its pathogenesis. The thesis describes pathogenesis and immunopathogenesis of tick-borne encephalitis, impact of host's genotype in clinical course determination, immune response of patients with acute tick-borne encephalitis, the mechanism of tick-borne encephalitis virus migration into central nervous system and virus interaction with cells of neurovascular unit as well as potential medical interventions.
Tick-borne encephalitis - life with the consequences
ŠTIBINGEROVÁ, Jana
This thesis charts the course of the tick-borne encephalitis since the beginning to the eventual consequences that the illness had left and that the patient must live with. Ixodes ricinus, tiny parasites carrying the disease called encephalitis, is no longer present only in the wild, but also in city parks or in our gardens. Every year, many cases of this disease occur across groups of all ages. It is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system caused by viruses. Disease is usually divided into two phases, where the first stage is similar to spring-summer influenza with different length of quiescent phase, in the second stage exacerbation occurs. At this stage, the patient is struggling with high temperatures, headaches, severe pain in muscles and joints, vomiting and disorders of consciousness. Correct diagnosis is specified after sampling of cerebrospinal fluid through a lumbar puncture. Patients with confirmed tick-borne encephalitis are hospitalized in isolation wards, not because of the spread of the disease, but for the experience of doctors. Here they are isolated in the rooms, which can have a detrimental effect on their psyche. Treatment follows after discharge from the hospital, and often takes several months. The aim of this study was to map the progression of the disease from its beginning, through time spent in a hospital bed, followed by home recovery up to the present. A very important part in the return-to-health process has the nurse, and therefore this paper tries to describe her role in treatment of patients with tick-borne encephalitis. Given that there exists a specific prevention in form of vaccination, the next objective was to verify the vaccination on samples of the population in the Česke Budějovice and Gmünd, Austria, and to compare these two groups of respondents. The survey of the thesis was carried out from August 2015 to April 2016 using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were collected through semi-standardized interviews with nine respondents, who were recruited through social networks with the help of gatekeepers. Quantitative data was collected via short survey distributed in Česke Budějovice and Gmünd, Austria. The results of the qualitative part were processed through coding and compiling of diagrams, from which the answers of individual respondents can be deducted. Evident is the whole course of the disease from the beginning up to the present. Data from the quantitative section were arranged into tables and then statistically evaluated. Based on the results, the frequency of vaccination of specific groups can be compared and therefore campaigns on health protection against tick-borne encephalitis can be targeted effectively.
Spatial Distribution of Tick-Borne Pathogens as a Consequence of Vector-Host-Pathogen Interactions with Environment
HÖNIG, Václav
The proposed thesis contributes to the basic knowledge in tick (Ixodes ricinus) and tick-borne pathogens (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, tick-borne encephalitis virus) ecology in particular studying the spatial distribution, host associations and its causes and consequences in Central European habitats.
Mice with different susceptibility to tick-borne encephalitis virus infection show selective neutralizing antibody response and inflammatory reaction in the central nervous system
PALUS, Martin
To address the underlying factors involved in development of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) we developed an animal model of TBE based on BALB/c-c-STS/A (CcS/Dem) recombinant congenic mouse strains showing different severities of the infection in relation to the host genetic background. TBE virus growth, neutralizing antibody response, key cytokine and chemokine mRNA production and changes in mRNA levels of cell surface markers of immunocompetent cells in brain were measured in mice with different susceptibilities to TBE virus infection. Generated data indicate that the genetic control is an important factor influencing the clinical course of TBE.
