| possible origin of the bluetongue epidemic in cyprus, august 1977. | possible origins of an epidemic of bluetongue in cyprus in august 1977 have been analysed. first outbreaks occurred simultaneously in the south-east of the famagusta district and on the north coast of the kyrenia district respectively. although the epidemic was due to type 4, which had been responsible for the previous outbreak in 1969, no evidence of persistance of virus could be found. imports of domestic animals in the past year were not implicated since the imported cattle were introduced on ... | 1979 | 229164 |
| the anti-echinococcosis campaign in cyprus. | a national anti-echinococcosis campaign was started in 1971, in which education of the public, the control of dogs and the control of slaughter were emphasised. the campaign has already achieved almost total elimination of infection in food animals born subsequent to its initiation. stray dogs are rare and all others are registered and examined three or four times a year. infection in dogs has decreased by over 80 per cent (from 6-8 in 1972 to 1-1 in 1976). legislation governing abattoir functio ... | 1977 | 910299 |
| the history of the ox warble fly in cyprus. | the eradication of ox warble fly from cyprus is described. initially, the major part of the eradication consisted of dressing every bovine animal with derris at monthly intervals between december and may (inclusive), but in the final and critical stages when the level of infestation had fallen to 0-2 per cent, it was found that the most efficient and economical approach was to offer a financial reward to any stock-owner reporting the presence of warble fly. | 1976 | 968948 |

| neutralising antibodies to akabane virus in ruminants in cyprus. | neutralising antibodies to akabane virus, a cause of arthrogryposis and hydranencephaly, were demonstrated in serum samples from 33 sheep, 3 goats and 1 bovine among 285 serum samples collected in south-eastern cyprus from december 1970 onwards. twenty-four of the 29 sheep having positive antibodies came from one farm in liopetri. no positive sera came from animals born after 1969, no association with abortions or stillbirths was noted and no arthrogryposis or hydranencephaly was observed in cyp ... | 1981 | 7256874 |

| control of echinococcus granulosus in cyprus and comparison with other island models. | a control programme directed against echinococcus granulosus was introduced into the republic of cyprus in 1971. in 1974, this was restricted to the areas controlled by the government of the island. the force used in the 'attack' phase included a major dog control programme. this and other measures led to the rapid 'disappearance' of the parasite and control was terminated in 1985. subsequent studies during 1993-1996 revealed that the parasite was present in 82 (20%) villages in either dogs or f ... | 1998 | 9806495 |
| control of zoonoses in cyprus. | the excellent results achieved in the control of animal diseases in cyprus have allowed the veterinary services to take a leading role in the elimination, surveillance and investigation of important zoonoses. the programmes for the control of echinococcosis, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax and taeniasis, and the measures taken to prevent the importation of rabies are described. public awareness of the risks posed by the presence of zoonoses and the efficient and effective intersectoral ... | 2000 | 11107615 |
| evaluation of control programmes for echinococcosis/hydatidosis in cyprus. | in cyprus, echinococcosis (echinococcus granulosus) was an important public and animal health problem until the 1970s. in 1971, the department of veterinary services instigated a control programme, which was based on an island model, using arecoline testing, euthanasia of positive dogs, control of dog breeding, elimination of stray dogs and control measures in slaughterhouses. the first programme ended in 1985 with excellent results and e. granulosus was considered to have been eradicated from b ... | 2000 | 11107621 |

| investigations into the cause of foot-and-mouth disease virus seropositive small ruminants in cyprus during 2007. | in 2007, serological evidence for foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) infection was found as a result of differential diagnostic testing of cypriot sheep suspected to be infected with bluetongue or contagious ecthyma. seropositive sheep and goats were subsequently uncovered on ten geographically clustered flocks, while cattle and pigs in neighbouring herds were all seronegative. these antibodies were specific for serotype-o fmd virus, reacting with both structural and non-structural (ns) fmd viral prot ... | 2009 | 19744234 |
