Bayesian estimation of sensitivity and specificity of serum ELISA and faecal culture for diagnosis of paratuberculosis in Greek dairy sheep and goats
Kostoulas, P.; Leontides, L.; Enoe, C.; Billinis, C.; Florou, M.; Sofia, M. (2006)Latent class models were used to estimate the sensitivity (Se) and the specificity (Sp) of a serum ELISA and a faecal culture (FC) method for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis separately, in sheep and goats. The estimates ... -
A clinical case of chicken infectious anemia disease and virus DNA detection in naturally infected broilers in Greece
Bougiouklis, P. A.; Sofia, M.; Brellou, G.; Georgopoulou, I.; Billinis, C.; Vlemmas, I. (2007)In this study, chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) DNA was detected from 12-day-old broilers. Clinical history showed that the clinical features were diarrhea, blue wing disease, depression, and death. Necropsy findings ... -
DETECTION AND GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS 2 ISOLATES FROM THE FIRST CASES OF POSTWEANING MULTISYSTEMIC AND WASTING SYNDROME IN WILD BOARS IN GREECE
Sofia, M.; Billinis, C.; Psychas, V.; Birtsas, P.; Sofianidis, G.; Leontides, L.; Knowles, N.; Spyrou, V. (2008)In 2002, postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) was diagnosed in a European female wild boar (Sus scrofa), based on the detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) DNA in various organs, including the uterus, and ... -
European brown hare syndrome in wild European brown hares from Greece
Billinis, C.; Psychas, V.; Tontis, D. K.; Spyrou, V.; Birtsas, P. K.; Sofia, M.; Likotrafitis, F.; Maslarinou, O. M.; Kanteres, D. (2005)From 1999 to mid-2003, 97 European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) found dead throughout Greece were examined by necropsy, histopathology, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the presence of ... -
Isolation of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis from non-ruminant wildlife living in the sheds and on the pastures of Greek sheep and goats
Florou, M.; Leontides, L.; Kostoulas, P.; Billinis, C.; Sofia, M.; Kyriazakis, I.; Lykotrafitis, F. (2008)This study aimed to: (1) investigate whether non-ruminant wildlife interfacing with dairy sheep and goats of four Greek flocks endemically infected with Mycobaclerium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) harboured MAP ... -
Prevalence of BVDV infection in Greek dairy herds
Billinis, C.; Leontides, L.; Amiridis, G. S.; Spyrou, V.; Kostoulas, P.; Sofia, M. (2005)Thirty-nine Greek dairy herds, totalling 6333 cattle, enrolled in a voluntary bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) eradication programme based on the identification and removal of persistently infected (PI) animals. The aim ... -
Strain-Specific Sensitivity Estimates of Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis Culture in Greek Sheep and Goats
Florou, M.; Leontides, L.; Kostoulas, P.; Billinis, C.; Sofia, M. (2009)The requirements for the isolation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) may be related to the strain-type [sheep (S)- or cattle (C)-type] and not to the host. The objective of this paper was to estimate and ...
