Complete genome reconstruction of the global and European regional dispersal history of the lumpy skin disease virus.
genome sampling in endemic and outbreak areas to improve our understanding of the evolution, epidemiology, and transmission dynamics of DNA viruses. IMPORTANCE Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) has a complex ...

Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
European project [3]. For this purpose, in this work, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) has been coupled with multi-angle dynamic light scattering (MADLS) and Raman spectroscopy. In ...
Factors influencing SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in Belgian nursing homes’ residents during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic
characteristics and infection rate among residents. Staff-resident interactions are key in SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics. Vaccination, regular staff testing, assessment of infection prevention and control ...
Understanding sexual transmission dynamics and transmission contexts of monkeypox virus: a mixed-methods study of the early outbreak in Belgium (May–June 2022)
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Vanhamel, Jef; Laisnez, Valeska; Liesenborghs, Laurens; Brosius, Isabel; Berens-Riha, Nicole; Vanbaelen, Thibaut; Kenyon, Chris; Vercauteren, Koen; Laga, Marie; Hammami, Naïma; Lambricht, Oriane; ...
Understanding sexual transmission dynamics and transmission contexts of monkeypox virus: a mixed-methods study of the early outbreak in Belgium (May-June 2022).
OBJECTIVE: The available epidemiological and clinical evidence from the currently ongoing monkeypox (MPX) outbreak in non-endemic areas suggests an important factor of sexual transmission. However, limited ...
Evaluation of dog vaccination schemes against rabies in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
based on annual mass vaccination of dogs appears to be costly and cumbersome. Given the existence of different risk zones for rabies transmission, the present study aimed at proposing risk-based ...
Mechanical transmission of African swine fever virus by Stomoxys calcitrans: Insights from a mechanistic model.
vector, its blood-feeding behaviour and pig-to-pig transmission dynamic. Model outputs suggested that in a context of low abundance (<5 flies per pig), stable flies would play a minor role in the spread ...
Use of a Whole Genome Sequencing-based approach for Mycobacterium tuberculosis surveillance in Europe in 2017-2019: an ECDC pilot study.
and Eastern EU.This pilot study shows that a WGS-based surveillance system is not only feasible but can efficiently elucidate the dynamics of in-country and cross-border RR / MDR- TB transmission across ...
Complex Circulation of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus in Cattle in Nigeria.
prevalent: A/Africa/G- IV, SAT1 /X, SAT2 / VII, and O/ WA. The high dynamics and omnipresence of FMD in Nigeria were illustrated in Plateau State where FMDV serotypes O, SAT1, and SAT2 were isolated during the ...
