hydatidosis of food animals in greece: prevalence of cysts containing viable protoscoleces.	the viability rate of hydatid cysts was investigated in animals slaughtered in the abattoir of thessaloniki, macedonia, greece. two hundred sheep (100% infection rate), 106 cattle (56.6% infected), 203 pigs (9.3%) and 52 goats (15.4%) were examined. all fertile cysts contained viable protoscoleces. in sheep there was a mean of 1.1 (29.8% of total cysts) fertile cysts per animal containing 297.3 (81.3%) viable protoscoleces. the percentage of viable protoscoleces in the lungs was 82.3% and in the ...	1994	7706677
ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece.	a study was carried out on ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. during 1983-1986, 11,620 tick specimens, belonging to 18 species and subspecies, were collected from cattle, sheep, goats and dogs, in 64 localities throughout macedonia. rhipicephalus bursa, the most common tick, and hyalomma marginatum marginatum occurred in all bioclimatic zones, as well as the two one-host ticks, boophilus annulatus and h. detritum scupense, which were present in fewer localities. r. tura ...	1996	8792578
piroplasms of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. 1. serological cross-reactions.	during a serological survey on haemoparasites in macedonia, serum samples were collected from cattle, sheep and goats. all sera were tested by the indirect immunofluorescence test (ifat); the cattle sera against theileria orientalis, t. annulata, babesia bigemina, b. bovis, b. divergens and b. major antigens; the sheep and goat sera against t. ovis, b. ovis, b. motasi and b. crassa antigens. parallel tests of negative and positive control sera against all the antigens showed the existence of cro ...	1996	8792579
piroplasms of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. 3. piroplasms of small ruminants.	a study was carried out on piroplasms of small ruminants in the macedonia region of greece. during 1984-1985, 721 serum samples were collected from sheep in 49 localities and 487 from goats in 43 localities. blood smears were also prepared from 26 sheep and eight goats in 16 localities. the prevalence of positive ifa titres for sheep and goat sera, respectively, was: 24.6% and 0.6% for theileria ovis, 52.1% and 36.4% for babesia ovis, 10.5% and 4.2% for babesia motasi, 12.6% and 6.6% for babesia ...	1996	8792581
the prevalence of goat hypodermosis in greece.	goat hypodermosis caused by przhevalskiana silenus is common in greece causing quite serious losses on animal production and breeding, but no data regarding the prevalence of this parasitic disease were available within the last 17 years. towards this end, at the slaughter house of the area of thessaloniki, the number of affected hides due to skin penetration by p. silenus larvae was recorded and the prevalence was assessed to be 54.2%. the mean number of holes found per hide was 27.07 (ranged f ...	1997	9802107
cattle and small ruminant piroplasmosis in macedonia, greece.	macedonia is an endemic region of cattle as well as of sheep and goat piroplasmosis in cattle, theileria orientalis (=t. buffeli?), the agent of eurasian benign theileriosis, is the most common and widespread piroplasm species. t. annulata, the agent of tropical theileriosis, seems to be rare and limited to few foci, but causes very severe clinical cases, especially in imported pure-bred or cross-bred animals. babesia bovis and b. bigemina are present in several localities, and often coexist. ca ...	1999	11071550
characteristics and seasonal variations in the semen of alpine, saanen and damascus goat bucks born and raised in greece.	twenty-three purebred alpine (n=8), saanen (n=7) and damascus (n=8) goat bucks raised at the institute of reproduction and artificial insemination in thessaloniki, greece (40 degrees 37 minutes n, 22 degrees 58 minutes e and altitude 32 m above sea level), were used to study the effect of photoperiod on semen production. samples were collected with an artificial vagina and examined immediately after collection. in spite of the variation in nearly all semen characteristics studied among the 3 bre ...	2000	10832753
drought and flock isolation may enhance the development of anthelmintic resistance in nematodes.	a survey of anthelmintic resistant nematodes was conducted in sheep and goat flocks in greece using in vivo and in vitro tests. faecal egg count reduction tests in macedonia were all greater than 99% indicating very high sensitivity of the nematodes to anthelmintics. in vitro tests showed benzimidazole resistant teladorsagia circumcincta in 17 out of 106 flocks on small islands. on the mainland there were only three cases of benzimidazole resistance out of 310 flocks and animals had recently bee ...	2001	11390078
