Orf virus infection in sheep or goats
Spyrou, V.; Valiakos, G. (2015)Orf virus, a member of the genus Parapoxvirus, is the causative agent of contagious ecthyma ('Orf'). It is a pathogen with worldwide distribution, causing significant financial losses in livestock production. The disease ... -
P38 MAPK signaling in pemphigus: Implications for skin autoimmunity
Mavropoulos, A.; Orfanidou, T.; Liaskos, C.; Smyk, D. S.; Spyrou, V.; Sakkas, L. I.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2013)p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling plays a major role in the modulation of immune-mediated inflammatory responses and therefore has been linked with several autoimmune diseases. The extent of the ... -

Phylogenetic analysis of strains of Orf virus isolated from two outbreaks of the disease in sheep in Greece
Billinis, C.; Mavrogianni, V. S.; Spyrou, V.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2012)Background: Although orf is endemic around the world, there are few descriptions of Orf virus strains and comparisons of these strains. We report the sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the partial B2L gene of Orf virus ... -

(2013)A study was conducted in order to determine the occurrence of European Brown Hare Syndrome virus (EBHSV) in Denmark and possible relation between disease pathogenesis and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) host genotype. ... -
Prevalence of BVDV infection in Greek dairy herds
Billinis, C.; Leontides, L.; Amiridis, G. S.; Spyrou, V.; Kostoulas, P.; Sofia, M. (2005)Thirty-nine Greek dairy herds, totalling 6333 cattle, enrolled in a voluntary bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) eradication programme based on the identification and removal of persistently infected (PI) animals. The aim ... -

A Retrospective Discussion of Three Infectious Agents as Possible Causes of Sudden Deaths in a Flock of Small Ruminants
Burriel, A. R.; Billinis, C.; Spyrou, V. (2010)In a flock of 332 sheep and goats, 120 (90 adults and 30 youngsters) died within 45 days The clinical and post-mortem examinations were indicative of a contagious disease, thus prompted the isolation of the flock by the ... -
