Effects of chlortetracycline administration on the health status and performance of sows: Results of a field trial
(2003)Objectives: To investigate the effects of in-feed chlortetracycline (CTC) during lactation on health status and reproductive performance of gilts or sows in a herd with a history of porcine reproductive and respiratory ... -
Effects of melatonin treatment on follicular development and oocyte quality in Chios ewes - Short communication
(2009)Follicular development and oocyte quality were assessed by laparoscopic observation and in vitro fertilisation, respectively, in melatonin-treated (Group M) and control (Group C) anoestrous Chios ewes (n = 10 in each group). ... -
Enteric pathogens of dogs and cats with public health implications
(2014)Dogs and cats play an important role in modern society, enhancing the psychological and physiological well-being of many people. However, there are well-documented health risks associated with human animal interactions. ... -
Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine-nitric oxide pathway
(1998)The airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and non-prostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ... -
Factors affecting biodiversity in agrosylvopastoral ecosystems with in the Mediterranean Basin: A systematic review
(2018)The biodiversity of Mediterranean agrosylvopastoral ecosystems has been extensively studied, because the Mediterranean Basin is a crossroad of biogeographical influences between cold temperate biota and subtropical species. ... -
Feline bartonellosis. A review
(2012)Bartonella infection is caused by Gram negative bacteria commonly isolated from domestic cats. Cats are the major reservoir of Bartonella henselae, B. clarridgeiae and B. koehlerae which are transmitted to humans, while ... -
Field evaluation of the effect of in-feed doxycycline for the control of ileitis in weaned piglets
(2002)The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effect of in-feed doxycycline (DOXY) on the control of ileitis in weaned piglets. On a farm with a previous history of ileitis outbreaks, 288 piglets at the age of weaning (25 ± 2 ... -
First confirmed case of digital dermatitis in Greece
(2008)The objective of the present study was to report the first confirmed case of digital dermatitis in Greece, emphasizing to the clinical appearance of the disease and to discuss some potential mechanisms concerning the ... -
Genetic growth potential interacts with nutrition on the ability of mice to cope with Heligmosomoides bakeri infection
(2009)Artificial selection for improved productivity may reduce an animal's ability to cope with pathogens. Here, we used Roslin mice, uniquely divergently selected for high (ROH) and low (ROL) body weight, to assess interactive ... -
Genetic variation of Marchalina hellenica (Hemiptera: Margarodidae) sampled from different hosts and localities in Greece
(2003)Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to 120 individuals of Marchalina hellenica (Gennadius) representing six populations collected in northern, central and southern mainland Greece. One population ... -
A gravity-based three-dimensional compass in the mouse brain
(2020)Gravity sensing provides a robust verticality signal for three-dimensional navigation. Head direction cells in the mammalian limbic system implement an allocentric neuronal compass. Here we show that head-direction cells ... -
Gut microbial communities associated with the molting stages of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(2016)The reciprocal interaction between host organisms' physiology and their gut microorganism community is of great interest in aquatic animal biology and aquaculture but for crustaceans, it remains understudied. This study ... -
Hare demography, physiology and European Brown Hare Syndrome virus infection: Is there an association?
(2016)Epidemiological studies of disease ecology typically ignore the influence of host sex, age, nutritional condition and immunocompetence factors. However, this can lead to shortcomings and incorrect conclusions regarding the ... -
Herd-level risk factors for subclinical Salmonella infection in European finishing-pig herds
(2004)Our objective was to find herd factors associated with pigs testing seropositive for Salmonella. Data were collected from 359 finishing-pig herds in Germany, Denmark, Greece, The Netherlands and Sweden, between 1996 and ... -
The island rule is not valid in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2017)The island rule posits that small animals grow larger on islands, whereas large-bodied ones are expected to dwarf, but remains largely unexplored in invertebrates. We tested the rule at an inter-specific level on terrestrial ... -
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 ... -
Maintaining production while reducing local and global environmental emissions in dairy farming
(2020)While milk is a major agricultural commodity, dairy farming also supports a large share of global beef production. In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of dairy farming systems, dairy-beef production is often ignored or ... -
Mapping interleukin enhancer binding factor 2 gene (ILF2) to human chromosome 1 (1q11-qter and 1p11-p12) by polymerase chain reaction amplification of human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA templates
(1996)Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is the first lymphokine secreted following T cell activation. Several transcription factors regulate IL-2 gene expression, including the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). NFAT acts at the ... -
