Susceptibility of Mammals to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza: A Qualitative Risk Assessment From the Belgian Perspective
sometimes unusual mammal infections. The aim of this paper is to assess the risk of crossing the avian/mammalian species barrier by the currently circulating HPAI viruses, focusing on the epidemiological ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creationAbstract
algorithms. Using 17 fungal species from the Belgian fungi collection BCCM / IHEM, including five Alternaria species, key aspects such as in vitro cultivation, dry spore harvest, and aerosolization were ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
spores. This study aims to address this gap by outlining best practices for collecting reference material and creating tailored datasets for training algorithms. Using 17 fungal species from the Belgian ...
The GEN-ERA toolbox: unified and reproducible workflows for research in microbial genomics
