Antigen-specific humoral responses against Helicobacter pylori in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2020)Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a likely trigger of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but systemic antigen-specific antibody (Ab) responses in a well-defined cohort of SSc patients have not been thoroughly assessed. Line immunoassay ... -
Are municipal solid waste collectors at increased risk of Hepatitis A Virus infection? A Greek cross-sectional study
(2016)Municipal solid waste collectors are reportedly at risk for Hepatitis A virus infection (HAV) as an occupational hazard. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and possible risk factors of HAV infection among solid waste ... -
Are stray dogs confined in animal shelters at increased risk of seropositivity to Leishmania infantum? A case control study
(2018)The aim of this study was to compare the risk of seropositivity between stray dogs and privately-owned dogs living in the same endemic area. Sixty-seven stray (group A) and 115 privately-owned (group B) dogs were enrolled. ... -
Cross-Sectional Serosurvey and Factors Associated with Exposure of Dogs to Vector-Borne Pathogens in Greece
(2019)Blood samples from 2620 dogs living in 7 different areas were used for the detection of antibodies against Ehrlichia canis and Borrelia burgdorferi and Dirofilaria immitis antigen. Previously published seropositivity data ... -
Cross-Sectional Serosurvey and Risk Factors Associated with the Presence of Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies in Pigs in Greece
(2016)Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide reported zoonotic infection caused by the protozoon Toxoplasma gondii. Pigs may become infected by ingesting feed or water contaminated with cat faeces, by cannibalism, and/or by ... -
Defining antibody seroprevalence and duration of humoral responses to sars-cov-2 infection and/or vaccination in a greek community
(2022)Background: In this work we aimed to evaluate antibody-response longevity to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination in one of the Greek communities that was worst hit by the pandemic, Deskati, five months after a previous ... -
European Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) as a source of emerging and re-emerging pathogens of Public Health importance: A review
(2020)European brown hare (Lepus europaeus, EBH) is probably the most important game animal in Europe throughout its historical distribution. The decline in its populations across its geographic range in Europe have been attributed ... -
Evaluation of Two Chemiluminescent and Three ELISA Immunoassays for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies: Implications for Disease Diagnosis and Patients’ Management
(2020)The estimation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies is possibly the best approach to accurately establish the number of infected individuals and the seroprevalence of COVID-19 within a population. Thus, several commercial ... -
Helicobacter pylori infection and respiratory diseases: A review
(2003)In the past few years, a variety of extradigestive disorders, including cardiovascular, skin, rheumatic and liver diseases, have been associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The activation of inflammatory ... -
Improved strategies to counter the COVID-19 pandemic: Lockdowns vs. primary and community healthcare
