Changes of meniscal interhorn distances: An in vivo magnetic resonance imaging study
(2005)The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of the internal (IID) and external meniscal interhorn distance (EID) of the medial and the lateral meniscus under loading. Sagittal magnetic resonance images of 15 knees ... -
A clinical case of chicken infectious anemia disease and virus DNA detection in naturally infected broilers in Greece
(2007)In this study, chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) DNA was detected from 12-day-old broilers. Clinical history showed that the clinical features were diarrhea, blue wing disease, depression, and death. Necropsy findings ... -
Comparison of two commercial rapid in-clinic serological tests for detection of antibodies against Leishmania spp. in dogs
(2014)Antibodies against Leishmania spp. are detected in most dogs with clinical signs of leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum. Accurate, rapid in-clinic serological tests may permit immediate confirmation of the diagnosis ... -
A contribution to the aphid fauna of Greece
(2007)In the present study a list of the aphid species recorded in Greece is provided. The list includes records before 1992, which have been published in previous papers, as well as data from an almost ten-year survey using ... -
A cross-sectional study of Leishmania spp. infection in clinically healthy dogs with polymerase chain reaction and serology in Greece
(2002)A total of 73 clinically healthy hunting dogs, experiencing an outdoor lifestyle and originating from an area where canine leishmaniasis is endemic, were included in the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and indirect ... -
Detection and Zoonotic Potential of Trichinella spp. from Free-Range Pig Farming in Greece
(2012)Trichinellosis is a serious parasitic zoonosis, which is widely distributed around the world. Pork meat is still the predominant source of outbreaks of human trichinellosis in many countries. The aim of this study is to ... -
Encephalomyocarditis Virus Infection in Wildlife Species in Greece
(2009)The objective of this work was to search for potential wildlife reservoir hosts of Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) in wildlife species. From 1994 to 2006, 317 blood and tissue samples were collected from 17 wildlife ... -
European Monitoring Systems and Data for Assessing Environmental and Climate Impacts on Human Infectious Diseases
(2014)Surveillance is critical to understanding the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases. The growing concern over climate and other drivers that may increase infectious disease threats to future generations has ... -
Exposure of extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa) to selected pig pathogens in Greece
(2015)Background: Increased density and distribution of wild boar populations are likely to promote interactions and transmission of certain pathogens, not only among wild boar but also from wild boar to livestock or humans and ... -
Genotyping Plasmodium vivax isolates from the 2011 outbreak in Greece
(2013)Background: Plasmodium vivax malaria was common in Greece until the 1950s with epidemics involving thousands of cases every year. Greece was declared free of malaria by the World Health Organization in 1974. From 1974 to ... -
Impact of a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome inactivated vaccine on the health and semen traits of boars
(2011)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a commercial European Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) - inactivated vaccine on health status, semen characteristics and semen fertilizing capacity ... -
Inverse Gaussian Modeling of Turbulence-Induced Fading in Free-Space Optical Systems
(2011)We propose the inverse Gaussian distribution, as a less complex alternative to the classical log-normal model, to describe turbulence-induced fading in free-space optical (FSO) systems operating in weak turbulence conditions ... -
Management of severe acute to fulminant hepatitis B: to treat or not to treat or when to treat?
(2012)Despite a decline in cases of acute hepatitis B and the low hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronicity rates in adults, still some patients progress to HBV-related fulminant liver failure. In this review, we discuss treatment ... -
