Antioxidant responses following active and passive smoking of tobacco and electronic cigarettes
(2016)Context: It has been indicated that acute active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking may cause changes on redox status balance that may result in significant pathologies. However, no study has evaluated the effects of ... -

Can traditional epidemiology detect cancer risks caused by occupational exposure to pesticides?
(1999)In order to investigate the possible relationship between cancer and occupational exposure to pesticides, we reviewed the latest literature of the epidemiological studies in this area coming to the conclusion that, while ... -
Development of a multiplex RT-PCR assay for the identification of recombination types at different genomic regions of vaccine-derived polioviruses
(2016)Polioviruses (PVs) are the causal agents of acute paralytic poliomyelitis. Since the 1960s, poliomyelitis has been effectively controlled by the use of two vaccines containing all three serotypes of PVs, the inactivated ... -
Effect of feed and feeding in the culture of salmonids on the marine aquatic environment: a synthesis for European aquaculture
(2006)While marine aquaculture has grown rapidly, so have concerns regarding the environmental impacts caused by the industry. In particular, increasing discharges of solid and dissolved fish excretions, nutrients and therapeutic ... -
Environmental impacts of genetically modified plants: A review
(2017)Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental implications. Despite the enhanced yield ... -
Environmental parameters as risk factors for human and canine Leishmania infection in Thessaly, Central Greece
(2016)Thessaly, Central Greece, is an endemic area for leishmaniasis with higher incidence rate during the last years. We herein investigated the geographical distribution of human leishmaniasis cases and Leishmania infected ... -
Estimating genetic correlations based on phenotypic data: a simulation-based method
(2011)Knowledge of genetic correlations is essential to understand the joint evolution of traits through correlated responses to selection, a difficult and seldom, very precise task even with easy-to-breed species. Here, a ... -
First evidence of Leishmania infection in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Greece: GIS analysis and phylogenetic position within the Leishmania spp
(2016)Although the existence of a sylvatic transmission cycle of Leishmania spp., independent from the domestic cycle, has been proposed, data are scarce on Leishmania infection in wild mammals in Greece. In this study, we aimed ... -
Greenhouse seed production of two dwarf green bean cultivars in relation to the duration of irrigation
(2005)As good quality irrigation water becomes increasingly scarce in the Mediterranean region, especially in coastal areas where greenhouses are located, methods of economizing water consumption are essential. Therefore, the ... -
Infectomics and autoinfectomics: a tool to study infectious-induced autoimmunity
(2015)The exposome represents all exogenous and endogenous environmental exposures that begin at preconception and carry on throughout life, while the microbiome reflects the microbial component of the exposome. We recently ... -
Isolation and identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria from hospitalized patients and drinking water samples—examination of their correlation by chemometrics
(2016)Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found to be widely dispersed in the environment and are being considered potentially pathogenic for humans and animals, while reports of their human to human transmission are ... -
On a data-driven environment for multiphysics applications
(2005)The combination of the recent advances in computational and distributed sensor network technologies provide a unique opportunity for focused efforts on high confidence modelling and simulation of multiphysics systems. ... -
PBC triggers in water reservoirs, coal mining areas and waste disposal sites: From Newcastle to New York
(2010)Various environmental factors have been proposed as triggers of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a progressive autoimmune cholestatic liver disease which is characterised by the destruction of the small intrahepatic bile ... -
Prevalence of Listeria spp. in freshwater fish(Oncorhynchus mykiss and Carassius gibelio) and the environment of fish markets in Northern Greece
(2010)In this study, a total of 405 samples from freshwater fish, personnel and environment were collected from retail fish markets in three cities in Northern Greece and they were examined for the presence of Listeria spp. They ... -

Remote sensing and statistics for the investigation of uncontrolled landfill sites: A case study in Lesvos Island, Greece
(2004)Data collection for environmental sciences and, especially for land cover inventory, is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. On the other hand, the satellite remote sensing has been introduced with advantage for the ... -

Spatio-temporal modelling of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks
(2016)We present and analyse data collected during a severe epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) that occurred between July and September 2000 in a region of northeastern Greece with strategic importance since it represents ... -
Study of potential environmental factors predisposing ewes to subclinical mastitis in Greece
(2019)Objectives of the work presented herewith were to investigate association of prevalence of subclinical mastitis with environmental (climatic and topographic) factors and to identify factors potentially predisposing ewes ...
