Genotyping Plasmodium vivax isolates from the 2011 outbreak in Greece
(2013)Background: Plasmodium vivax malaria was common in Greece until the 1950s with epidemics involving thousands of cases every year. Greece was declared free of malaria by the World Health Organization in 1974. From 1974 to ... -
Helminth burden in stray cats from Thessaloniki, Greece
(2014)To get an overview on the prevalence of intestinal helminths, between 2010 and 2012, fecal samples from 215 stray cats from area of Thessaloniki, Greece, were tested by coprological methods. From the total number of fecal ... -
Immunomodulatory effects of dietary protein during Nippostrongylus brasiliensis re-infection in lactating rats
(2009)Periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) to secondary infection with nematodes is believed to have a nutritional basis due to differential partitioning of scarce nutrient resources, particularly protein, to reproductive ... -
In silico exploration of the effects of host genotype and nutrition on the genetic parameters of lambs challenged with gastrointestinal parasites
(2007)An in silico mathematical model was used to explore the effect of, and the interaction between, (i) nutrition, (ii) genotype for growth and (iii) genotype for resistance, on the estimates of genetic parameters for resistance ... -
In vivo induction of the autophagic machinery in human bone marrow cells during Leishmania donovani complex infection
(2009)Autophagy is a homeostatic process promoting cell survival in periods of stress. The induction of the autophagic machinery has also been implicated in both innate and adaptive immunity. Leishmania donovani, which is the ... -
Interactions between parasitic infections and reproductive efficiency in sheep
(2015)This review article summarises the many reports in the literature, confirming that, in sheep, parasitic infections can adversely affect reproductive efficiency; examples, which refer to all parts of the reproductive cycle ... -
Liver flukes promote cholelithiasis in sheep
(2011)The main objective of this study was to investigate whether cholelithiasis in sheep is related to parasitism or other commonly observed disorders such as liver abscesses. Additionally, the features of the observed biliary ... -
A model to account for the consequences of host nutrition on the outcome of gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep: model evaluation
(2007)This paper describes sensitivity analyses and expectations obtained from a mathematical model developed to account for the effects of host nutrition on the consequences of gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep. The scenarios ... -
Myiasis in a dog shelter in Greece: Epidemiological and clinical features and therapeutic considerations
(2011)The paper describes features of myiasis in a cohort of 163 dogs in an animal shelter, monitored over 3.5 years (4 fly activity seasons). Seven dogs (4 males, 3 females) were presented with myiasis; two dogs were presented ... -
Nutritional sensitivity of resistance to Trichostrongylus colubriformis in lactating ewes
(2009)It has been suggested that the periparturient breakdown of immunity to parasites has a nutritional basis. Our overall hypothesis is that it results from a prioritized scarce metabolizable protein (MP) allocation to ... -
Occurrence of non-cerebral coenurosis in sheep
(2013)This study reports seven rare cases of non-cerebral coenurosis in sheep. The sheep were slaughtered in abattoirs of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) but originated from India, Iran, Oman and Sudan. The prevalence of infection ... -
Periodic administration of allopurinol is not effective for the prevention of canine leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum) in the endemic areas
(2005)A total of 95 clinically healthy and seronegative for Leishmania infantum dogs, residing an area highly endemic for canine leishmaniosis (CL) and living an outdoor life-style, were split into positive and negative groups, ... -
Pharmacokinetics and tolerability of aminosidine after repeated administrations using an optimal dose regimen in healthy dogs and in dogs with leishmaniosis
(2014)Optimisation of dose schedules of aminoglycosides is required in order to increase efficacy and prevent their toxicity. The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic profile and the safety of aminosidine ... -
Prevalence and intensity of Otodectes cynotis in kittens from Thessaloniki area, Greece
(2009)From May 2007 to May 2008 we have examined by otoscopy a total number of 214 cats, aged between 0 and 6 months, brought in for their first veterinary examination to a private veterinary clinic. All cats were of urban origin. ... -
Prospective evaluation of serum pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity and troponin I concentrations in Leishmania infantum-infected dogs treated with meglumine antimonate
(2014)Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) caused by Leishmania infantum is an important zoonotic disease. One of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of CanL is meglumine antimonate. Drugs of this class have been associated ... -
A randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial with allopurinol in canine leishmaniosis
(2001)A total of 45 non-uremic dogs, with clinical signs indicating leishmaniosis, entered the study. Diagnosis was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on serum and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on bone marrow ... -
Rapid improvement of immunity to Teladorsagia circumcincta is achieved through a reduction in the demand for protein in lactating ewes
(2006)Protein supplementation can improve the resistance to parasites of periparturient ewes, as indicated by reduced nematode egg excretion and worm burdens. However, the rate at which this improvement can occur is largely ... -
Serum acute phase proteins in dogs with symptomatic esophageal spirocercosis
(2012)Canine spirocercosis (CS) is a helminthic infection caused by the nematode Spirocerca lupi. The clinical hallmark of the disease is esophageal dysphagia due to parasite-induced esophageal nodules. Currently, there is limited ...
