Consequences of infection pressure and protein nutrition on periparturient resistance to Teladorsagia circumcincta and performance in ewes
Kidane, A.; Houdijk, J. G. M.; Tolkamp, B. J.; Athanasiadou, S.; Kyriazakis, I. (2009)The consequences of protein nutrition on the degree of periparturient relaxation of immunity to nematode parasites in sheep may be more pronounced at higher levels of infection pressure. Here, we investigated interactive ... -
The effect of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) on larval development and mucosal cell responses of growing lambs challenged with Teladorsagia circumcincta
Tzamaloukas, O.; Athanasiadou, S.; Kyriazakis, I.; Huntley, J. F. (2006)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grazing different bioactive forages on acquired immunity against Teladorsagia circumcinta infection. The development of immunity was assessed by following the response ... -
Effects of maternal protein nutrition and subsequent grazing on chicory (Cichorium intybus) on parasitism and performance of lambs
Kidane, A.; Houdijk, J. G. M.; Athanasiadou, S.; Tolkamp, B. J.; Kyriazakis, I. (2010)Forty-eight 4- to 5-yr-old Blackface x Bluefaced Leicester (Mule) ewes and their 24-d-old twin lambs were used to assess the effects of maternal protein nutrition and subsequent grazing on chicory (Cichorium intybus) on ... -
Exploiting synergisms and interactions in the nutritional approaches to parasite control in sheep production systems
Athanasiadou, S.; Houdijk, J.; Kyriazakis, I. (2008)Occurrence of resistance to anthelmintics and increased awareness about drug residues entering the food chain and harming the environment, have called for a reduction in the regular, preventive use of anthelmintics and an ... -
Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Analysis of Intestinal Tissue to Assess the Impact of Nutrition and a Secondary Nematode Challenge in Lactating Rats
Athanasiadou, S.; Jones, L. A.; Burgess, S. T. G.; Kyriazakis, I.; Pemberton, A. D.; Houdijk, J. G. M.; Huntley, J. F. (2011)Background: Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a major challenge to the health and welfare of mammals. Although mammals eventually acquire immunity to nematodes, this breaks down around parturition, which renders ... -
Medicinal plants for helminth parasite control: facts and fiction
Athanasiadou, S.; Githiori, I.; Kyriazakis, I. (2007)The use of medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of gastro-intestinal parasitism has its origin in ethnoveterinaty medicine. Although until recently the majority of the evidence on the antiparasitic activity ... -
Nutritional sensitivity of periparturient resistance to nematode parasites in two breeds of sheep with different nutrient demands
Kidane, A.; Houdijk, J.; Athanasiadou, S.; Tolkamp, B.; Kyriazakis, I. (2010)The periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) to parasites in mammals is sensitive to both metabolisable protein (MP) supply and animal genotype (different reproductive outputs). We tested the hypothesis that the ... -
Use of trade-off theory to advance understanding of herbivore-parasite interactions
Hutchings, M. R.; Judge, J.; Gordon, I. J.; Athanasiadou, S.; Kyriazakis, I. (2006)1. Trade-off theory has been extensively used to further our understanding of animal behaviour. In mammalian herbivores, it has been used to advance our understanding of their reproductive, parental care and foraging ... -
XOR-Based Encoding With Instantaneous Decoding for the Broadcast Erasure Channel With Feedback: The Three-User Case
Athanasiadou, S.; Gatzianas, M.; Georgiadis, L.; Tassiulas, L. (2014)We study the case of a three-user broadcast erasure channel with multiple unicast traffic sessions, where feedback from the users is fed back to the transmitter in the form of positive acknowledgment (ACK)/negative ...
