Author Information

Antonios G. Zdragas is affiliated with the Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases at the Veterinary Research Institute, part of the Hellenic Agricultural Organization - DEMETER, located in Thermi, Thessaloniki, Greece. His research focuses on infectious diseases, particularly involving pathogens affecting both animals and the environment.

Research Contributions

Antonios G. Zdragas has significantly contributed to the understanding of infectious diseases in veterinary settings. His work spans various topics, including the molecular detection and characterization of pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Brucella spp. He has explored the interactions between host and pathogen, particularly in relation to food safety and animal health. Noteworthy studies include the characterization of pathogens in dairy herds and the investigation of waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. His research employs advanced methodologies like whole genome characterization and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for pathogen identification and differentiation.
