Comparison of fluorescence polarization assay, indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA methods for diagnosis of Brucella melitensis-infection in small ruminants
(2004)Three serological tests, the fluorescence-polarization assay (FPA), the indirect ELISA (iELISA) and the competitive ELISA (cELISA), were compared in detecting Brucella melitensis antibodies in 454 serum samples from sheep ... -
Efficacy of marbofloxacin against respiratory infections of lambs
(2007)The trial was carried out in a sheep flock with mixed Mannheimia haemolytica/Mycoplasma spp. respiratory infection; 60 lambs were included therein and allocated as follows: lambs in group MH were subcutaneously injected ... -
Efficacy of moxidectin against sarcoptic mange and effects on milk yield of ewes and growth of lambs
(2000)Forty-eight dairy ewes and 45 lambs naturally infested with sarcoptic mange, were divided into three equal groups and treated with moxidectin 1% inj. sol. at a dose rate of 0.2 mg moxidectin kg(-1) bodyweight once or twice ... -
Epidemiological and clinical aspects of human brucellosis in central Greece

Evaluation of the FAMACHA (c) system for targeted selective anthelmintic treatments for potential use in small ruminants in Greece
(2013)The FAMACHA (c) system is a practical on-farm method, which can be used to identify small ruminants in need of anthelmintic treatment, depending on the colour of the lower eyelid mucous membrane, which reflects level of ... -
Influence of the injection site on the pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin after intramuscular administration of a conventional and a long-acting formulation in sheep
(2009)The pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin (AMX) were investigated in sheep following intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m) injection, comparing two different drug formulations, a conventional and a long-acting AMX-trihydrate ... -
A model for predicting feed intake of growing animals during exposure to pathogens
(2006)A general model is proposed for predicting the effects of subdinical pathogen challenges of different doses and virulence on the relative feed intake (RFI) of animals. The RFI is defined as the feed intake (FI, kg/d) of ... -
Occurrence of non-cerebral coenurosis in sheep
(2013)This study reports seven rare cases of non-cerebral coenurosis in sheep. The sheep were slaughtered in abattoirs of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) but originated from India, Iran, Oman and Sudan. The prevalence of infection ... -
Peripheral distribution of amoxicillin in sheep and influence of local inflammation
(2010)The pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin (AMX) in blood serum (SBS) and tissue cage fluid (TCF) was studied in sheep. Four tissue cages, prepared from silicone rubber tubing, were subcutaneously inserted in the neck area (two ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of strains of Orf virus isolated from two outbreaks of the disease in sheep in Greece
(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 ... -
Presence of sub-epithelial lymphoid tissues in the teat of ewe-lambs and adult ewes
(2007)In the first part of the study, 24 clinically healthy teats from non-lactating ewe-lambs were examined bacteriologically and histologically. No bacteria were isolated from any of these teats; lymphocytes were observed in ... -
Prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in bulk milk and blood serum and associations with reproductive indices in cow dairy herds of Central Northern Greece
(2011)For the first time in Greece, we investigated the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in milk and sera from dairy cattle herds located at central and northern parts of the country. Eighty herds were initially voluntary ... -
Reflections on the causes and the diagnosis of peri-parturient losses of ewes
(2008)Peri-parturient loss of a ewe is of particular financial significance to a farmer. Therefore, veterinary advise before lambing is crucial, in order to avoid such losses altogether. This paper can be used as a brief guide ... -
A Retrospective Discussion of Three Infectious Agents as Possible Causes of Sudden Deaths in a Flock of Small Ruminants
(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 ... -
