Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the ... -
Antiparasitic Action of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 and Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM Strains in CD-1 Mice Experimentally Infected with Trichinella britovi
(2022)Nematodes of the genus Trichinella are among the most widespread parasites of domestic and wild omnivores and predatory animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the antiparasitic effect of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 ... -
Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation
(2019)Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ... -
Assessment of the efficacy and clinical utility of different circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection assays in patients with chemotherapy-naïve advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
(2021)We herein investigated the detection frequency and clinical relevance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in chemotherapy-naïve stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), by using the CellSearch and real-time CEACAM5mRNA ... -
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Serum Vitamin D Levels in a Greek Rural Population (Velestino Study)
(2021)Background/Aim: An alarming increase in vitamin D deficiency even in sunny regions highlights the need for a better understanding of the genetic background of the vitamin D endocrine system and the molecular mechanisms of ... -
Bluetongue in small ruminants: An opinionated review, with a brief appraisal of the 2014 outbreak of the disease in Greece and the south-east Europe
(2015)Bluetongue is an arthropod-borne viral disease of ruminants, especially of sheep, caused by Bluetongue virus, which belongs to the genus Orbivirus of the family Reoviridae and is classified into 26 antigenically distinct ... -
Bovine colostrum supplementation improves bone metabolism in an osteoporosis-induced animal model
(2021)Osteoporosis is characterized by bone loss. The present study aims to investigate the effects of bovine colostrum (BC) on bone metabolism using ovariectomized (OVX) and orchidec-tomized (ORX) rat models. Twenty-seven-week-old ... -
Case Report of Transmissible Gastroenteritis Coronavirus Infection Associated with Small Intestine and Brain Lesions in Piglets
(2019)This case study report describes a transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) infection presented in a commercial pig herd. The clinical signs of infection appeared in newborn piglets, including medium morbidity and ... -
Chondrocyte protein co-synthesis network analysis links ECM mechanosensing to metabolic adaptation in osteoarthritis
(2021)Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common structural OA disorders globally. Incomplete understanding of the fundamental biological aspects of osteoarthritis underlies the current lack of effective ... -
Comparison of Novel and Established Nitrification Inhibitors Relevant to Agriculture on Soil Ammonia- and Nitrite-Oxidizing Isolates
(2020)Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) applied to soil reduce nitrogen fertilizer losses from agro-ecosystems. NIs that are currently registered for use in agriculture appear to selectively inhibit ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), ... -

Development and performance characteristics evaluation of a new Bioelectric Recognition Assay (BERA) method for rapid Sars-CoV-2 detection in clinical samples
(2021)Introduction: As the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic is in progress the development of fast and cost-effective approaches for diagnosis is essential. The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate the performance ... -
Development of a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (RT-LAMP) that detects enteroviruses by targeting the highly conserved 5′-UTR region
(2020)Enteroviruses are positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses. Most infections from enteroviruses are asymptomatic and can circulate “silently”, increasing the risk of an outbreak. For preventing such outbreaks, a rapid, ... -
Diagnostic Accuracy Estimates for COVID-19 Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and Lateral Flow Immunoassay Tests With Bayesian Latent-Class Models
(2021)Our objective was to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) tests for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), depending on the time after symptom ... -
DNA methylation regulates miR-140-5p and miR-146a expression in osteoarthritis
(2019)Aims: Previous studies have demonstrated that transcriptional silencing of miRNAs due to DNA hypermethylation is associated with different pathologies. It has also been reported that abnormal expression of miR-140-5p and ... -
Effects of Guaiazulene on In Vitro Bovine Embryo Production and on mRNA Transcripts Related to Embryo Quality
