Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers, and Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19
(2021)BACKGROUND: Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARB) is thought to affect COVID-19 through modulating levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the cell entry receptor ... -
Association Between Level of Hepatitis D Virus RNA at Week 24 of Pegylated Interferon Therapy and Outcome
(2015)Background & Aims: Interferon is the only effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection. No rules have been set for stopping treatment based on viral kinetics. We analyzed data from an international ... -
Autoantibodies and SARS-CoV2 infection: The spectrum from association to clinical implication: Report of the 15th Dresden Symposium on Autoantibodies
(2022)The relation between infections and autoimmune diseases has been extensively investigated. Multiple studies suggest a causal relation between these two entities with molecular mimicry, hyperstimulation and dysregulation ... -
Detection of negative and positive RNA strand of poliovirus Sabin 1 and echovirus E19 by a stem-loop reverse transcription PCR
(2017)In this report a strand specific RT-PCR was established for the detection of the replicative negative RNA strand of poliovirus sabin 1 (Sabin1) and Echovirus 19 (E19) strains. The key for the successful conduction of the ... -
Development of a multiplex RT-PCR assay for the identification of recombination types at different genomic regions of vaccine-derived polioviruses
(2016)Polioviruses (PVs) are the causal agents of acute paralytic poliomyelitis. Since the 1960s, poliomyelitis has been effectively controlled by the use of two vaccines containing all three serotypes of PVs, the inactivated ... -
Development of a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (RT-LAMP) that detects enteroviruses by targeting the highly conserved 5′-UTR region
(2020)Enteroviruses are positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses. Most infections from enteroviruses are asymptomatic and can circulate “silently”, increasing the risk of an outbreak. For preventing such outbreaks, a rapid, ... -
Early corticosteroid initiation delays viral RNA clearance in respiratory secretions of COVID-19 patients
(2021)[No abstract available] -
Genetic variation of eggplant mottled dwarf virus from annual and perennial plant hosts
(2016)The genetic diversity of eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV), a member of the family Rhabdoviridae, was studied using isolates collected from different herbaceous and woody plant species and remote geographic areas. Sequences ... -
Hepatitis D virus-specific cytokine responses in patients with chronic hepatitis delta before and during interferon alfa-treatment
(2011)Background: Hepatitis delta is caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV) and is considered the most severe form of viral hepatitis. Treatment options for hepatitis delta are limited, with only 25% of patients ... -
Histopathological Lesions Accompanied with First-Time Isolation of a PRRSV-2 Strain in Greece
(2020)Genotype 2 strains of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV-2) have been reported sporadically in Europe. Even if, PRRSV-2 reported to be genetically homogenous in Europe due to the introduction of an ... -
Intra- and inter-serotypic recombinations in the 5΄ UTR-VP4 region of Echovirus 30 strains
(2018)Recombination has been recognized as a major mechanism of evolution in enteroviruses. The Echovirus 30 (E-30) strain Gior was sequenced and phylogenetically compared to all available E-30 sequences to detect recombination ... -
Late HDV RNA relapse after peginterferon alpha-based therapy of chronic hepatitis delta
(2014)Interferon alpha is the only treatment option for hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Trials investigating the efficacy of pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNa) showed HDV RNA negativity rates of 25-30% 24 weeks after therapy. ... -
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ... -
Occurrence and molecular characterization of betanodaviruses in fish and invertebrates of the Greek territorial waters
(2019)Betanodaviruses are small ssRNA viruses that cause viral encephalopathy and retinopathy, a severe neuropathological infectious disease in marine fish species worldwide. In the present study, the occurrence of betanodaviruses ... -
Quantitative HBsAg and HDV-RNA levels in chronic delta hepatitis
(2010)Background: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes severe liver disease. Aims: To investigate the quantitative HDV-RNA, HBsAg and hepatitis B virus (HBV)DNA levels in correlation to histological, biochemical and demographical ... -
Reemergence of west nile virus infections in Southern Greece, 2017
(2019)Greece experienced the largest European West Nile virus (WNV) outbreak in 2010 since the 1996 Romania epidemic. West Nile virus reemerged in southern Greece during 2017, after a 2-year hiatus of recorded human cases, and ... -
SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring using a novel PCR-based method rapidly captured the Delta-to-Omicron ΒΑ.1 transition patterns in the absence of conventional surveillance evidence
(2022)Conventional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance based on genotyping of clinical samples is characterized by challenges related to the available sequencing capacity, population sampling methodologies, and is time, labor, and ... -
Vaccine derived bi- and multi-recombinant Sabin strains
(2007)A retrospective analysis of five Sabin intertypic recombinant strains, isolated from human feacal specimens during the time period 1978-1985 in Greece, was performed by RT-PCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism ... -
Wastewater monitoring as a supplementary surveillance tool for capturing SARS-COV-2 community spread. A case study in two Greek municipalities
(2021)A pilot study was conducted from late October 2020 until mid-April 2021, aiming to examine the association between SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in untreated wastewater and recorded COVID-19 cases in two Greek municipalities. ...
