Assessment of genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations based on variation in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
(2002)The RAPD method was used to assess the genetic differentiation of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from Central Greece. Greek wild populations were compared with samples from Austria, Poland, Germany, France, and ... -
Biochemical genetic variability in brown hares (Lepus europaeus) from Greece
(2003)Allozyme variability of 91 brown hares (Lepus europaeus) from seven regions in Greece was compared to existing data of Bulgarian populations to test the hypothesis of the occurrence of specific alleles in Greece, likely ... -
European Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) as a source of emerging and re-emerging pathogens of Public Health importance: A review
(2020)European brown hare (Lepus europaeus, EBH) is probably the most important game animal in Europe throughout its historical distribution. The decline in its populations across its geographic range in Europe have been attributed ... -
First evidence of Leishmania infection in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Greece: GIS analysis and phylogenetic position within the Leishmania spp
(2016)Although the existence of a sylvatic transmission cycle of Leishmania spp., independent from the domestic cycle, has been proposed, data are scarce on Leishmania infection in wild mammals in Greece. In this study, we aimed ... -
Genetic evidence for survival of released captive-bred brown hares Lepus europaeus during restocking operations in Greece
(2007)To prevent the decline of the brown hare Lepus europaeus, especially as a result of hunting pressure, restocking programmes, using hares from elsewhere, were carried out in Greece up to 2001. Using diagnostic RFLP mitochondrial ... -
Genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations as revealed by mtDBNA RFLP-PCR analysis: implications for conserving genetic diversity
(2001)The genetic differentiation and the phylogenetic status of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from central Greece as well as the impact of the releases of reared individuals on the native populations genetic structure ... -
Genetic variation in the major histocompatibility complex of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) across distinct phylogeographic areas
(2014)The major histocompatibility complex is one of the best studied systems in vertebrates providing evidence for the long-term action of selection. Here, we examined the intra- and inter-population genetic diversity of the ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of the Role of the European Brown Hare in the Epidemiology of Bacterial Zoonotic Pathogens: A Serological and Molecular Survey in Greece
(2020)The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Bartonella spp, Brucella spp, Coxiella burnetii, and Francisella tularensis in European Brown hares (Lepus europaeus) hunter harvested during 2-year hunting periods ... -
Islands and hybrid zones: Combining the knowledge from "natural Laboratories" to explain phylogeographic patterns of the European brown hare 06 Biological Sciences 0604 Genetics
(2019)Background: The aim of the study was to use hybrid populations as well as island populations of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) to explore the effect of evolutionary events, such as the post-deglaciation ... -
Major histocompatibility complex variation at class II DQA locus in the brown hare (Lepus europaeus)
(2009)The major histocompatability complex (MHC) is a multigene family of receptors that bind and present antigenic peptides to T-cells. Genes of the MHC are characterized by an outstanding genetic polymorphism, which is considered ... -
Mitogenomic analysis in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) proposes genetic and functional differentiation between the distinct lineages
(2018)European brown hare is a small game species spreading across Europe to Asia Minor, with important economic traits. Population genetics studies using mitochondrial DNA markers have revealed the existence of two major ... -
Phylogeography of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Europe: a legacy of south-eastern Mediterranean refugia?
(2009)We analysed the population genetics of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in order to test the hypothesis that this species migrated into central Europe from a number of late glacial refugia, including some in Asia Minor. ... -
Population genetics of cape and brown hares (Lepus capensis and L. europaeus): A test of Petter's hypothesis of conspecificity
(2008)Phylogenetic relationships and systematics of hares and jackrabbits (genus Lepus, Lagomorpha) are notoriously difficult. One intriguing issue is the relationship between cape hares (Lepus capensis L., 1758) and brown hares ... -
Positive selection and precipitation effects on the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 gene in brown hares (Lepus europaeus) under a phylogeographic perspective
(2019)Previous studies in hares and jackrabbits have indicated that positive selection has shaped the genetic diversity of mitochondrial genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, which may affect cellular energy production ... -
Recruitment of mitochondrial tRNA genes as auxiliary variability markers for both intra- and inter-species analysis: The paradigm of brown hare (Lepus europaeus)
(2008)We sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial tRNA(Thr) and tRNA(Pro) genes from brown hare (Lepus europaeus) individuals of different geographic distribution and we investigated the role of various nucleotide substitutions ... -
Serological and molecular investigation of selected parasitic pathogens in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Greece: inferring the ecological niche of Toxoplasma gondii and Leishmania infantum in hares
(2019)The occurrence of infection or exposure to Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, and Leishmania infantum was investigated in European brown hares (Lepus europaeus, EBH) hunter-harvested over two consecutive hunting seasons ... -
SNP identification through transcriptome analysis of the european brown hare (lepus europaeus): Cellular energetics and mother's curse
