Administration of Vaccines in Dairy Sheep and Goat Farms: Patterns of Vaccination, Associations with Health and Production Parameters, Predictors
(2022)This paper reports findings regarding patterns of vaccine usage in sheep and goat farms, in 325 sheep flocks and 119 goat herds throughout Greece. The objectives of the study were (a) to describe the patterns of vaccine ... -
Bayesian Evaluation of Three Serological Tests for Diagnosis of Brucella infections in Dromedary Camels Using Latent Class Models
(2022)Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with significant economic and public health impacts. The disease has been found in ruminants, including camels, but clinical diagnosis of camel brucellosis is difficult due to the lack of ... -
Brucella spondylitis complicated by an infected abdominal aortic aneurysm and deep venous thrombosis: case report and review of the literature
(2008)Brucellosis is a common zoonosis, which still remains as a major health problem in certain parts of the world. Spondylodiscitis is the most frequent osteoarticular complication of brucellosis. Herein is reported an uncommon ... -
Brucellosis underreporting in Greece: Assessment based on aggregated laboratory data of culture-confirmed cases from public hospitals
(2019)Background: Brucella spp. isolation is one of the mainstays of brucellosis diagnosis. Simultaneously, the true brucellosis disease rate may be underrepresented in notification systems. This study aims at assessing the ... -
Comparison of fluorescence polarization assay, indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA methods for diagnosis of Brucella melitensis-infection in small ruminants
(2004)Three serological tests, the fluorescence-polarization assay (FPA), the indirect ELISA (iELISA) and the competitive ELISA (cELISA), were compared in detecting Brucella melitensis antibodies in 454 serum samples from sheep ... -
Cost-benefit analysis of intervention policies for prevention and control of brucellosis in India
(2018)Background: Brucellosis is endemic in the bovine population in India and causes a loss of US$ 3·4 billion to the livestock industry besides having a significant human health impact. Methods: We developed a stochastic ... -

Identification of Brucella spp. isolates and discrimination from the vaccine strain Rev.1 by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
(2020)Brucellosis' surveillance and control programs require robust laboratory techniques that can reliably identify and biotype Brucella strains and discriminate between vaccine and field infection. In the recent years, Matrix ... -
Modelling Human Brucellosis Based on Infection Rate and Vaccination Coverage of Sheep and Goats
(2022)In this study, the vaccination coverage, serological sampling and infection rate of sheep and goats were evaluated as predictors for the modeling of human brucellosis in Greece. The human bru-cellosis disease frequency per ... -
Severe pharyngitis in stockbreeders: an unusual presentation of brucellosis
(2008)Brucellosis is a known occupational hazard for shepherds, abattoir workers, veterinarians, dairy industry professionals and personnel in microbiological laboratories. Any organ may be affected by Brucella species but to ... -
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: An unusual manifestation of brucellosis in a previous healthy male patient
(2015)Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution and protean clinical manifestations. Therefore, its prompt and timely diagnosis is still challenging. Among several complications of brucellosis, spontaneous ... -
Unusual cardiovascular complications of brucellosis presenting in two men: Two case reports and a review of the literature
(2011)Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution, which is particularly endemic in many countries of the Mediterranean basin. Cardiovascular complications of this disease, such as endocarditis, myocarditis ... -
Zoonotic Problems Reported by Sheep and Goat Farmers and Factors Potentially Contributing to the Occurrence of Brucellosis among Them
(2022)The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of zoonotic problems reported by dairy small ruminant farmers in Greece and to study potential associations with socio-demographic characteristics of the farmers and management ...
