Hybridization between wild species and their domestic relatives can be an important conservation management problem. Genetic purity of the is desirable per se phenomenon have unpredictable evolutionary consequences. Declining European boar populations were frequently restocked with farmed boars that sometimes had been crossed pigs. We used simple polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostic tests to detect presence mitochondrial DNA coat colour alleles origin in from Belgium, Luxembourg,...
Cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) disease were recorded for three consecutive years in Greece following the year 2010 outbreak. A cross-sectional serologic survey was conducted to estimate WNV seroprevalence and assess ratio infection neuroinvasive disease. stratified left-over sampling methodology used including age residence strata. total 3,962 serum samples collected tested Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies by Enzyme–Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). All positive further Plaque Reduction...
The major histocompatability complex (MHC) is a multigene family of receptors that bind and present antigenic peptides to T-cells. Genes the MHC are characterized by an outstanding genetic polymorphism, which considered be maintained positive selection. Sites involved in peptide binding form pockets (P) collectively termed peptide-binding region (PBR). In this study, we examined level diversity within among natural populations brown hare (Lepus europaeus) from Europe Anatolia choosing for...
Greece was declared malaria-free in 1974 after a long antimalarial fight. In 2011–2012, an outbreak of P. vivax malaria reported Evrotas, agricultural area Southern Greece, where large number immigrants from endemic countries live and work. A total 46 locally acquired 38 imported cases were detected. Despite significant decrease the 2012, mass drug administration (MDA) program considered as additional measure to prevent reestablishment disease area. During 2013 2014, combination 3-day...
In the present study, effects of extracts and polyphenol-rich fractions as well monomer polyphenols identified in them, from both red white grapes, on mitomycin C (MMC) induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) human peripheral blood lymphocytes were investigated. The grape two three promoted MMC-induced SCEs at concentrations 75 to 300 μg/mL. However, none or alone SCEs. Thus, these results suggest caution especially with regard use dietary supplements. On other hand, fact that not...
Infectious diseases of sheep are major economic importance causing direct and indirect losses. Among the infectious agents Small Ruminant Lentivirus, Chlamydophila abortus Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infections, mainly due to their worldwide distribution impact that they cause. Based on differential susceptibility between within breeds recent findings regarding putative involvement TLR9 in disease susceptibility, aim this study was evaluate levels nucleotide variation its...
Abstract Allozyme starch gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the genetic structure of Nephrops norvegicus populations in an extended sampling scheme. Nine from North Sea and Aegean were sampled analysed using ten enzymatic systems corresponding 15 putative loci. Values heterozygosity similar between Atlantic Mediterranean population samples, ranging 0.165 0.187. Genetic distance estimates, FST analyses tests for differentiation revealed a heterogeneous within area N. norvegicus. No...
WNV is a zoonotic neurotropic flavivirus that has recently emerged globally as significant cause of viral encephalitis. The last five years, 624 incidents infection have been reported in Greece. risk for severe disease increases among immunosuppressed individuals implying thus the contribution MHC locus to control infection. In order investigate possible association class II genes, especially HLA-DPA1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DRB1, we examined 105 patients, including 68 cases with neuroinvasive and 37...
Netherton syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is classified as an ichthyosiform syndrome. In this report we present the case of neonate with erythroderma shortly after birth, accompanied by severe hypernatremia, recurrent infections, transient hyperaldosteronism, and signs growth hormone (GH) deficiency. DNA molecular analysis in SPINK5 gene revealed heterozygosity our index patient for 238insG 2468delA frameshift mutations exons 4 26, respectively, maternal allele...
