Molecular detection of Rickettsia felis in common fleas in Greece and comparative evaluation of genotypic methods
(2021)Introduction: Rickettsia felis is the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF), an emerging zoonosis. Although there is evidence of FBSF in Greece, fleas, the classic vectors of R. felis, have not been adequately ... -
Optimization of fecal cytology in the dog: comparison of three sampling methods
(2017)Dry-mount fecal cytology (FC) is a component of the diagnostic evaluation of gastrointestinal diseases. There is limited information on the possible effect of the sampling method on the cytologic findings of healthy dogs ... -
Presence and density of domestic mites in the microenvironment of mite-sensitive dogs with atopic dermatitis
(2010)This study was designed to investigate the presence and density of domestic mites (DMs) in households with atopic dogs sensitive to these mites (group A; n = 20), in households with clinically healthy, nonatopic dogs (group ... -
Prevalence and mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli isolates recovered from dogs suffering from otitis in Greece
(2018)The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and the implicated mechanisms of resistance against selected veterinary fluoroquinolones (enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin and pradofloxacin) among 101 Pseudomonas aeruginosa ... -
Prevalence of antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor titers in dogs with arthritis secondary to leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum)
(2022)Dogs with infectious arthritis may occasionally exhibit positive serum antinuclear antibody (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) titers; however, relevant data are sparse for arthritis secondary to canine leishmaniosis (CanL) ... -
Prevalence, distribution and factors associated with the presence and the potential for malignancy of cutaneous neoplasms in 174 dogs admitted to a clinic in northern Greece
(2002)One hundred and seventy-four dogs diagnosed with cutaneous neoplasms in the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, were studied. Thirty-one types of neoplasm ... -
Primary Intranasal Transmissible Venereal Tumour in the Dog: A Retrospective Study of Six Spontaneous Cases
(2001)The medical records of six dogs with primary intranasal transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) were reviewed. Epistaxis (4/6), serosangineous nasal discharge (2/6), oronasal fistulae (2/6), facial swelling (1/6) and submandibular ... -
A proposed medication score for long-term trials of treatment of canine atopic dermatitis sensu lato
(2021)Background: The use of concurrent medications is necessary in trials of treatment of canine atopic dermatitis. Our aim was to use the best available evidence to construct and then to validate a medication score (MS) formula ... -
Quantitative proteomics of cerebrospinal fluid using tandem mass tags in dogs with recurrent epileptic seizures
(2021)This prospective study included four dog groups (group A: healthy dogs, groups B: dogs with idiopathic epilepsy under antiepileptic medication (AEM), C: idiopathic epilepsy dogs without AEM administration, D: dogs with ... -
A randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial comparing the efficacy of aminosidine (paromomycin)-allopurinol combination with the efficacy of meglumine antimoniate-allopurinol combination for the treatment of canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum
(2020)The aim of this 6-month, randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of aminosidine-allopurinol combination with that of meglumine antimoniate-allopurinol combination for the ... -
Recurrent horizontal transfer identifies mitochondrial positive selection in a transmissible cancer
(2020)Autonomous replication and segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) creates the potential for evolutionary conflict driven by emergence of haplotypes under positive selection for ‘selfish’ traits, such as replicative ... -
Repeatability and reproducibility of microscopic examination of adhesive tape strip cytology slides for the quantification of Malassezia spp. in canine skin
(2022)Background: The optimal microscopic magnification and number of optical fields of adhesive tape strip cytological slides that should be examined when searching for Malassezia yeasts on canine skin are unknown. Objectives: ... -
Repeatability and reproducibility of the interpretation of intradermal test results in dogs with atopic dermatitis
(2022)Background – There is lack of studies evaluating the repeatability and reproducibility of the interpretation of intradermal testing in dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). Objectives – To evaluate the repeatability and ... -
Serial measurement of thyroid hormones in hospitalised dogs with canine parvoviral enteritis: Incidence of non-thyroidal illness syndrome and its association with outcome and systemic inflammatory response syndrome
(2021)The aim of this study was to serially evaluate the serum concentrations of total thyroxine (tT4), free thyroxine (fT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in dogs with canine parvoviral enteritis (CPVE) during a 5-day ... -
Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Ehrlichia canis in a hospital canine population
(2019)Background: Ehrlichia canis (E canis) infection has been documented in a few small canine case series in Greece. However, there is limited information on the prevalence of exposure to, or the potential risk factors associated ... -
Serum cobalamin concentrations in dogs with leishmaniosis before and during treatment
(2021)Hypocobalaminemia in dogs is most commonly associated with gastrointestinal disorders leading to impaired absorption and utilization of cobalamin. The objectives of this study were to compare serum cobalamin concentrations ... -
Serum α1-proteinase inhibitor concentrations in dogs with exocrine pancreatic disease, chronic hepatitis or proteinuric chronic kidney disease
(2018)Serum canine α1-proteinase inhibitor (cα1-PI) concentrations were evaluated in dogs with pancreatitis (n = 24), exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI; n = 29), chronic hepatitis (CH; n = 11) or proteinuric chronic kidney ... -
Somatic evolution and global expansion of an ancient transmissible cancer lineage
(2019)The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a cancer lineage that arose several millennia ago and survives by “metastasizing” between hosts through cell transfer. The somatic mutations in this cancer record its ... -
