Fthenakis, G. C.; Leontides, L.; Skoufos, J.; Taitzoglou, I. A.; Tzora, A. (2004)A case of unusually high (>94%) prevalence of mastitis in a flock of dairy sheep, which was caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (cnS) and associated with increased gossypol consumption, is presented. The animals ... -
Differences in susceptibility to Mannheimia haemolytica-associated mastitis between two breeds of dairy sheep
Fragkou, I. A.; Skoufos, J.; Cripps, P. J.; Kyriazakis, I.; Papaioannou, N.; Boscos, C. M.; Tzora, A.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2007)We used a Mannheimia haemolytica isolate to study differences in susceptibility to experimental mastitis between two breeds of dairy sheep. The isolate was deposited into the teat duct of Karagouniko (K, n=8) or Frisarta ... -

Effects of lamb sucking on the bacterial flora of teat duct and mammary gland of ewes
Gougoulis, D. A.; Kyriazakis, I.; Tzora, A.; Taitzoglou, I. A.; Skoufos, J.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2008)We aimed (i) to determine differences in bacterial flora of teat duct and mammary gland of ewes before and after suckling, (ii) to evaluate factors potentially affecting those. We collected samples of teat duct material ... -
