Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel responsible for the disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Chains of infections starting from various countries worldwide seeded outbreak COVID-19 in Athens, capital city Greece. A full-genome analysis isolates Athens' hospitals and other healthcare providers revealed variety SARS-CoV-2 that initiated pandemic before lockdown passenger flight restrictions. dominant variant, encompassing G614D amino acid substitution, spread...
Background. Rosacea is a chronic skin disease, possibly following the neurogenic inflammation model. Neurokinin B, involved in pathogenesis of Parkinson’s frequently coexisting with subsequent onset rosacea, an endogenous ligand tachykinin receptor 3 (TACR3). Methods. 128 rosacea patients and 121 matched controls were genotyped for rs3733631 by PCR-RFLP analyzed chi-square test. Results. We observed statistically significant predominance C/G or G/G genotype (<mml:math...
Biting midges (Culicoides) are vectors of arboviruses both veterinary and medical importance. The surge emerging reemerging vector-borne diseases their expansion in geographical areas affected by climate change has increased the importance understanding capacity to contribute novel infectious diseases. study Culicoides virome is first step assessment this potential. In study, we analyzed RNA 10 species within area Thrace southeastern part Europe, a crossing point between Asia Europe...
Psoriasis is a lifelong disorder characterized by approximately 8-fold reduction of the duration normal skin keratinocyte cell cycle and 2-fold increase number dividing cells. Multiple genes, several environmental factors, immune system alterations are involved in pathogenesis psoriasis. Hyperleptinemia associated with psoriasis leptin acts as an angiogenic factor. Angiogenetic processes precede epidermal hyperplasia psoriasis, indicating possible involvement Leptin gene polymorphisms their...
Abstract In the era of emergence and re-emergence vector-borne diseases, a high throughput trap-based insect monitoring is essential for identification invasive species, study mosquito populations risk assessment disease outbreaks. Insect DNA metabarcoding technology has emerged as highly promising methodology unbiased large-scale surveillance. Despite significant attempts to introduce in or other surveillance qualitative quantitative remains challenge. present study, we have developed...
