_________________________________________________________________





“I declare that I have completed this dissertation single-handedly without the
unauthorized help of a second party and only with the assistance acknowledged therein.
I have appropriately acknowledged and referenced all text passages that are derived literally
from or are based on the content of published or unpublished work of others, and all
information that relates to verbal communications. I have abided by the principles of good
scientific conduct laid down in the charter of the Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen in
carrying out the investigations described in the dissertation.”

„This dissertation is submitted as a cumulative thesis according to the charter of the
PhD-Program of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Medicine of the Justus-Liebig-
University. The thesis includes an interconnection of three original papers, two of which
describe and discuss the majority of my experimental work during the course of the program.
The experimental data from the third paper was produced during the same time period in
collaboration with a colleague (Susanne Haupt) who submitted part of the work as doctoral
dissertation.”
