The largest city of Bulgaria – the capital Sofia (1,2 million inhabitants) is located in a broad valley at 550 m a.s.l. (above sea level) and the second largest town is Plovdiv at the Maritza river.

The virus isolated was identified in Bulgaria as serotype O and this was subsequently confirmed by the World Reference Laboratory for Foot and Mouth Disease in Pirbright (United Kingdom). Serological studies using bovine sera and monoc...

Bacillus anthracis strains previously isolated from Bulgaria form a unique subcluster within the A1.a cluster that is typical for isolates from southeastern Europe. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Bulgarian B. anthracis strains belonging to the A branch (A.Br.)008/009 canonical single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) group of the major A branch.

Brazilian and Bulgarian propolis showed an antibacterial action, but the sample from Bulgaria was shown to be more efficient. Both samples showed a similar synergistic effect ...
