Abortion in ewes associated with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
(2006)We describe the features of an outbreak of ovine abortions caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a flock of sheep in Greece. Abortion occurred in 3.5% of ewes in the flock; the foetuses were well developed and had ... -
Clinical evaluation of intradermal vaccination against porcine enzootic pneumonia (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae)
(2012)The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of single-dose intradermal vaccination against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae on a commercial swine unit. A total of 1051 healthy suckling piglets of 28 +/- 3 days of ... -
DETECTION AND GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS 2 ISOLATES FROM THE FIRST CASES OF POSTWEANING MULTISYSTEMIC AND WASTING SYNDROME IN WILD BOARS IN GREECE
(2008)In 2002, postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) was diagnosed in a European female wild boar (Sus scrofa), based on the detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) DNA in various organs, including the uterus, and ... -
Effect of weaning age, protein nutrition and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli challenge on the health of newly weaned piglets
(2007)The objective of this experiment was to determine whether decreasing dietary protein content and increasing weaning age could improve piglet health and decrease the occurrence and severity of post-weaning colibacillosis ... -
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 ... -
Exploration of the Connection Between Porcine Necrotic Ear Syndrome and PCV2 Infection
(2011)This study provides an overview of current knowledge relating to porcine necrotic ear syndrome (or ear tip necrosis) associated with PCV2 infection. It is believed that Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) may be involved in ... -
A feed additive containing Bacillus toyonensis (Toyocerin (R)) protects against enteric pathogens in postweaning piglets
(2015)AimsThis study evaluated the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus toyonensis spores (Toyocerin((R))) in postweaning piglets against enteric pathogens. Methods and ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-two healthy weaning ... -
Genetic variability of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates
(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. ... -
Impact of a killed PRRSV vaccine on sow longevity in a PRRSV infected swine herd
(2012)In porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-infected farms, there is an increase in the female culling rate, mainly due to reproductive problems and culling of young females. This has significant economic ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Prevalence of Leptospira species among farmed and domestic animals in Greece
(2003)A total of 1527 serum samples from pigs, goats, sheep, cattle and dogs in Greece were examined by the microscopic agglutination test and 11.8 per cent of them had antibodies against one or more Leptospira serovars at titres ... -
Serological evidence of Brucella species and Leptospira interrogans serovars in Greek swine herds
(2003)In a serological survey in intensively managed swine herds in northern Greece (280 samples) and southern Greece (120 samples), 28.2% of samples were positive for Leptospira interrogans serovars and 3% for Brucella species. ... -
Transmission and pathogenicity of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among rats
(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. ...
