• Canonical quantization of some midi-superspace models in 3+1 dimensions 

      Christodoulakis, T.; Doulis, G.; Terzis, P. A.; Melas, E.; Grammenos, Th; Papadopoulos, O.; Spanou, A. (2010)
      A proposal is put forward which enables the canonical quantization of a family of spherically symmetric geometries in 3+1 dimensions. The proposal consists of a particular renormalization Assumption and an accompanying ...
    • Effect of challenge dose and age in experimental infection of pigs with encephalomyocarditis virus 

      Billinis, C.; Leontides, L.; Psychas, V.; Spyrou, V.; Kostoulas, P.; Koenen, F.; Papadopoulos, O. (2004)
      Two experiments were performed to compare the severity of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection in pigs. The pigs were challenged with the Greek myocardial strain, at different ages and with different doses. In the ...
    • Evaluation of cytology in the diagnosis of acute canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia canis): a comparison between five methods 

      Mylonakis, M. E.; Koutinas, A. F.; Billinis, C.; Leontides, L. S.; Kontos, V.; Papadopoulos, O.; Rallis, T.; Fytianou, A. (2003)
      The purpose of this study was the comparison of the diagnostic sensitivity between buffy coat (BC), peripheral blood (PB), lymph node (LN), bone marrow (BM) and short-term culture (P-D) cytology that has been based on the ...
    • Genetic variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates 

      Denis, P.; Liebig, H. D.; Nowotny, N.; Billinis, C.; Papadopoulos, O.; O'Hara, R. S.; Knowles, N. J.; Koenen, F. (2006)
      In order to evaluate the variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), field isolates originating from different European regions and inducing different clinical pictures in pigs have been molecularly characterised. ...
    • Prion protein gene polymorphisms in healthy and scrapie-affected sheep in Greece 

      Billinis, C.; Psychas, V.; Leontides, L.; Spyrou, V.; Argyroudis, S.; Vlemmas, I.; Leontides, S.; Sklaviadis, T.; Papadopoulos, O. (2004)
      A total of 216 local crossbred sheep from 16 scrapie-affected Greek flocks and 210 purebred sheep of the milk breeds Chios and Karagouniko from healthy flocks were analysed for scrapie-linked polymorphisms in the prion ...
    • A randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial with allopurinol in canine leishmaniosis 

      Koutinas, A. F.; Saridomichelakis, M. N.; Mylonakis, M. E.; Leontides, L.; Polizopoulou, Z.; Billinis, C.; Argyriadis, D.; Diakou, N.; Papadopoulos, O. (2001)
      A total of 45 non-uremic dogs, with clinical signs indicating leishmaniosis, entered the study. Diagnosis was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on serum and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on bone marrow ...
    • Transmission and pathogenicity of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among rats 

      Spyrou, V.; Maurice, H.; Billinis, C.; Papanastassopoulou, M.; Psalla, D.; Nielen, M.; Koenen, F.; Papadopoulos, O. (2004)
      Due to the probable role played by rodents as a reservoir for the transmission of the EMC virus to pigs, the experiment reported here was performed in order to assess the transmission rate of EMCV within a rat population. ...
