• Genetic variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates 

      Denis, P.; Liebig, H. D.; Nowotny, N.; Billinis, C.; Papadopoulos, O.; O'Hara, R. S.; Knowles, N. J.; Koenen, F. (2006)
      In order to evaluate the variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), field isolates originating from different European regions and inducing different clinical pictures in pigs have been molecularly characterised. ...
    • The occurrence of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) in European pigs from 1990 to 2001 

      Maurice, H.; Nielen, M.; Brocchi, E.; Nowotny, N.; Kassimi, L. B.; Billinis, C.; Loukaides, P.; O'Hara, R. S.; Koenen, F. (2005)
      The occurrence of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among domestic pigs and wild boar in several European countries is described and discussed. From 1990 to 2001 clinical outbreaks were analysed and serum samples, partly ...
    • Population structure of Dover sole Solea solea: RAPD and allozyme data indicate divergence in European stocks 

      Exadactylos, A.; Geffen, A. J.; Panagiotaki, P.; Thorpe, J. P. (2003)
      Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) analysis was used to estimate genetic variation within and between 6 Northeast Atlantic populations of Dover sole Solea solea (L.). A total of 16 fish were randomly selected ...
    • Transmission and pathogenicity of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among rats 

      Spyrou, V.; Maurice, H.; Billinis, C.; Papanastassopoulou, M.; Psalla, D.; Nielen, M.; Koenen, F.; Papadopoulos, O. (2004)
      Due to the probable role played by rodents as a reservoir for the transmission of the EMC virus to pigs, the experiment reported here was performed in order to assess the transmission rate of EMCV within a rat population. ...
