| prevalence of viral markers among refugees from southern albania: increased incidence of infection with hepatitis a, b and d viruses. | since 1991, thousands of refugees from southern albania have entered north-western greece, an area with low-to-moderate endemicity for infection with hepatitis viruses. we examined the prevalence of several markers of viral infection in this population in order to ascertain the likely impact of its presence on the epidemiology of hepatitis infections in north-western greece. | 1995 | 7552639 |
| evaluation of microbiological quality of coastal waters in greece. | to evaluate the microbiological water quality of bathing sites along the achaia coastline (south western greece), a survey was conducted to determine the concentration of faecal bacterial and phage indicators as well as the presence of human viruses. seawater samples (234) were collected from nine bathing sites on the achaia coastline and were analysed for the presence of: total coliforms, faecal coliforms, faecal streptococci, escherichia coli, somatic coliphages, f-rna bacteriophages, bacterio ... | 2005 | 16459843 |
| molecular characterization of hepatitis a virus isolates from environmental and clinical samples in greece. | hepatitis a virus (hav) strains detected in environmental and clinical samples were analysed to characterize the genotypes of hav circulating in greece. fifty (50) sewage samples were collected from patras (south-western greece) and alexandroupolis (north-eastern greece) from 2007 until 2009, accordingly. the clinical samples derived from an hav outbreak involved populations from three neighbouring prefectures of north-eastern greece (xanthi, rodopi, and evros). hav particles were detected by ne ... | 2010 | 20846383 |
