SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Demens är ett samlingsnamn på ett flertal neurologiska sjukdomar som karakteriseras av progressiv minnesförlust, minskad förmåga till abstrakt tänkande, försämrad beslutsförmåga, personlighetsförändring samt svårigheter att förstå och tolka olika föremål och situationer. Uppskattningsvis finns det cirka 36 miljoner människor i världen som har en demenssjukdom. I takt med att befolkningen blir äldre ökar antalet personer med demenssjukdomar, därför är det viktigt att förstå hur personer upplever sjukdomen, för att möjliggöra utveckling inom demensvården  Syfte: Att besk

The Eurasian badger is a wildlife reservoir of bovine tubersculosis (bTB) in the UK and Ireland. Many aspects of badger behaviour, ecology and disease dynamics are well understood.

Abstract:
Bovine TB in cattle is a major economic problem in the UK, costing the government approximately £100m a year. Badgers are a wildlife host of the infection that causes bovine TB, and there is strong evidence that they transmit the infection to cattle. Understanding the ecology and epidemiology of infected badger populations is therefore crucial for implementing disease management strategies relating to badgers. Genetic and phenotypic data of badgers captured during a large-scale field trial of repeated, widespread badger culls were used to assess the importance of parental roles on the impacts
