Classification and structure of echovirus 5 '-UTR sequences
Siafakas, N.; Papaventsis, D.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Vamvakopoulos, N. C.; Markoulatos, P. (2005)Enteroviruses are classified into two genetic clusters on the basis of 5'-UTR and all echoviruses (ECV) are classified together with coxsackie B viruses (CBV), coxsackie A viruses (CAV) types 2-10, 12, 14 and 16, and ... -
Concentration, Detection and Identification of Infectious Enteroviruses in Sewage
Papaventsis, D.; Siafakas, N.; Markoulatos, P.; Sopidou, V.; Economou, C.; Leveidiotou, S. (2008)This work presents a new approach for the molecular 'serotyping' of enteroviruses concentrated and isolated from sewage. Viruses were adsorbed to cellulose nitrate membrane filters, isolated from the membrane filter using ... -
Current epidemiology of childhood tuberculous meningitis in Greece: a 10-year population-based study
Rallis, D.; Spoulou, V.; Theodoridou, M.; Critselis, E.; Michailidou, E.; Kavaliotis, J.; Roilides, E.; Katragou, A.; Galanakis, E.; Triga, M.; Krokidas, G.; Tzoufi, M.; Spala, G.; Dikaiakou, E.; Paraskakis, E.; Syrogiannopoulos, G.; Papaventsis, D.; Tsolia, M. N. (2013) -
Enteroviral infection in Greek AIDS patients
Papaventsis, D.; Markoulatos, P.; Mangafas, N.; Lazanas, M.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S. (2004)Objective: Prolonged intestinal replication of polioviruses has not previously been studied in Greek AIDS patients. The objective of our study was to estimate the prevalence of enteroviral infections in this population. ... -
Environmental surveillance of circulation of enteroviruses-Public health effects
Papaventsis, D.; Siafakas, N.; Markoulatos, P.; Sopidou, V.; Economou, C.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S. (2006)Objective: This study presents a new approach for the molecular "serotyping" of enteroviruses concentrated and isolated from urban sewage. Method: Samples were collected from the Nicosia Sewage Treatment Plant in Cyprus. ... -
Membrane adsorption with direct cell culture combined with reverse transcription-PCR as a fast method for identifying enteroviruses from sewage
Papaventsis, D.; Siafakas, N.; Markoulatos, P.; Papageorgiou, G. T.; Kourtis, C.; Chatzichristou, E.; Economou, C.; Levidiotou, S. (2005)We present a new approach for the detection and identification of enteroviruses concentrated and isolated from sewage. Samples were collected from two study sites located at Nicosia and Limassol sewage treatment plants in ... -
Novel molecular techniques for the identification of the members of Brucellaceae family
Papaventsis, D.; Siafakas, N.; Markoulatos, P.; Sopidou, V.; Economou, C.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S. (2006)An account is presented of an attempt to identify a multiresistant, gram-negative bacterium that was isolated from raw sewage in Cyprus. The API 2ONE system was initially used to identify the strain on the basis of its ... -
Recombinant Sabin environmental isolates in Greece and Cyprus
Paximadi, E.; Karakasiliotis, I.; Papaventsis, D.; Papageorgiou, G.; Markoulatos, P. (2008)Aims: Twenty-one polioviruses (PVs) Sabin strains were isolated from sewage treatment plants from Metamorphosis, Athens, Greece during the time period from May to October 1996, and from two other sites located at Nicosia ...
