Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
mortality being associated to extreme temperatures but the extent to which individual or residential factors modulate this temperature vulnerability is less clear. Methods We conducted a multi-city study with ...
Non-specific symptoms and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome in patients with Lyme borreliosis: a prospective cohort study in Belgium (2016–2020)
syndrome (PTLDS). This study aimed to compare the occurrence of symptoms between LB patients and controls, to estimate the proportion of LB patients developing PTLDS and to identify risk factors. Methods ...
Assessing the burden of Taenia solium cysticercosis in Burundi, 2020
health and on the pig production sector is not well known in many of those countries, including Burundi. This study aimed at estimating the burden of T. solium cysticercosis in Burundi including data on ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
of mutations present at low abundances using the mutations defining the SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (alpha variant) as a case study. Real sequencing data were in silico modified by introducing mutations ...

WGS- versus ORF5-Based Typing of PRRSV: A Belgian Case Study.
circulating PRRSV strains by means of sequencing is crucial for developing adequate control strategies. Most genetic studies only target the highly variable open reading frame (ORF) 5, for which an extensive ...
The prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 study (PICOV) in nursing home residents and staff- study protocol description and presentation of preliminary findings on symptoms.
The presence of co-morbidities and immune ageing in the elderly lead to an increased susceptibility to COVID-19, as is the case for other influenza-like illnesses (ILI) or acute respiratory tract ...
