The global burden of neglected zoonotic diseases: Current state of evidence
diseases Years lived with disability Years of life lost Abstract: The majority of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, most of which are classified as “neglected”. By affecting both humans and animals, ...
Taenia solium Cysticercosis/Taeniosis in Europe and Central Asia
long debatable. In 2014, the ‘European Network on Taeniosis/Cysticercosis’ was formed and one of the main objectives was to document the number of T. solium cases and their origin in Europe. As described ...
Fasciola spp. in Southeast Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
and gray literature databases as well as reference lists of important review articles will be searched for relevant records that are published between January 1, 2000, and the search date. The ...
Assessing the burden of Taenia solium cysticercosis in Burundi, 2020
calculate the 95% uncertainty interval (UI) for each parameter and perform sensitivity analyses. Results. In Burundi, 4.26 million USD (95% UI, 1,858,308–8,190,951) were estimated as economic impact due to T. ...
Burden of disease of dietary exposure to four chemical contaminants in Denmark, 2019
(Pb), cadmium (Cd), methylmercury (MeHg), and inorganic arsenic (i-As). We collected national food consumption and chemical food monitoring data from Danish databases, dose-response and severity data from ...
Burden of foodborne disease due to bacterial hazards associated with beef, dairy, poultry meat, and vegetables in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, 2017
in both countries was substantial. Uncertainty distributions around the estimates spanned several orders of magnitude. This reflects data limitations, as well as variability in the transmission and ...
Human health and economic impact of neurocysticercosis in Uganda
impact was quantified as the cost of illness associated with direct healthcare costs, patient costs and productivity losses. For both assessments, we adopted an incidence perspective and used 2010 as ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
2 weeks after receipt of the sample, which was freshly prepared tartar sauce in a meal cooked at the school. Our team used this outbreak as a case study to deliver a proof of concept for a short-read ...
Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies
related human isolate of the affected patient, by means of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogeny. The inferred strain harbored the same virulence genes as the spiked isolate and could be ...
Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks
of S. aureus isolates, including some belonging to a confirmed foodborne outbreak, its added value as the ultimate multiplexing method was demonstrated. In contrast to PCR-based se gene detection for ...
