Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
CHROMATOGRAPHIC FINGERPRINT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS IN PLANT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
However, the latter is not always the case. The said supplements can be adulterated or fraudulent by ex-changed, which can lead to adverse effects or toxicity in the consumer. Tribulus terrestris (TT), ...
Chemical and toxciological characterization of e-liquid cigarettes
analytical methods used in these studies have not always been well validated and thus the results of these studies need to be critically examined; three main problems could be uncovered: (1) the content of ...
Bepaling van spoorelementen in diverse matrices met spectrometische technieken.
has shown that Ti nanoparticles are contained in the fibers. Conclusion Only low concentrations of trace elements were found in most of the food enzyme preparations studied. The information collected ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
monitoring methods have also been developed. Through the application of the developed tools to specific case studies, we aimed to improve the current knowledge on fungal contamination. At first, we developed ...

GMO detection system using high-tech approaches. First, as a study case, an overview of genetically modified (GM) rice, developed around the world was carried out to collect information related inter ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
unauthorized GMO, this PhD aims to improve and strengthen the existing GMO detection system using high-tech approaches. First, as a study case, an overview of genetically modified (GM) rice, developed around the ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
seroprevalences can be found in European pig and wild boar populations. The aims of the first study of this thesis were to obtain prevalence data on HEV infection in swine in Belgium and to phylogenetically compare ...
Exploring the added value of Whole Genome Sequencing in routine and pandemic viral surveillance
by introducing mutations of interest in raw wild-type sequencing data. The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage was used as a case study. The use of such in silico datasets to mimic the diversity in SARS-CoV-2 ...
