Is the European Health Interview Survey online yet? Response and net sample composition of a web-based data collection.
organized using the EHIS wave 3 model questionnaire. The sample was selected according to a multistage, clustered sampling procedure with geographical stratification. Field substitution was applied; ...
Streptococcus pyogenes infections with limited emm-type diversity in the homeless population of Brussels, 2016-2018.
Bossuyt; Anne Botteaux; Pierre R Smeesters Source: Int J Infect Dis, Volume 81 (2019) Keywords: Adult Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins Belgium Cluster Analysis Female Homeless Persons Humans Male middle ...
Exploring HIV-1 Transmission Dynamics by Combining Phylogenetic Analysis and Infection Timing
to a pair and 36.9% involved in a cluster of ≥3 members. The percentage of early diagnosed (≤4 months after infection) was 28.6%. Patients of Belgian origin were more frequently involved in ...
Global burden of cancer and coronary heart disease resulting from dietary exposure to arsenic, 2015
used the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates of food consumption in 17 country clusters, in conjunction with the reported measurements of total and inorganic arsenic in different foods. We ...
Low hepatitis C prevalence in Belgium: implications for treatment reimbursement and scale up.
clustered sampling. RESULTS: In total 3209 specimens, collected by 28 laboratories, were tested. HCV seropositivity in the Belgian general population was estimated to be 0.22% (95% CI: 0.09-0.54%), and prevalence of ...
Relation between broiler and human Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated in Belgium from 2011 to 2013.
typing, antibiotic microbiological resistance profiling (AMR p), lipooligosaccharide class typing or virulence gene profiling (Vp). Clusters containing both human and broiler meat strains were more common ...
Orthogonal typing methods identify genetic diversity among Belgian Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated over a decade from poultry and cases of sporadic human illness.
multilocus sequence typing (MLST), PCR binary typing (P- BIT), and identification of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) biosynthesis locus classes. A total of 123 distinct sequence types (ST s), clustered in 28 clonal ...
Nucleotide Sequence Database Comparison for Routine Dermatophyte Identification by Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 Genetic Region DNA Barcoding.
to an ITS2 nucleotide sequence analysis. Sequences were analyzed against the databases, and the results were compared to clusters obtained via DNA alignment of sequence segments. The DNA tree served as ...
Phylogenetic analysis of the Belgian HIV-1 epidemic reveals that local transmission is almost exclusively driven by men having sex with men despite presence of large African migrant communities.
laboratory data from patients newly diagnosed between 2013 and 2015 were combined and analyzed. Characteristics of clustered patients, paired patients and patients on isolated branches in the phylogenetic tree ...
A cluster of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis among patients arriving in Europe from the Horn of Africa: a molecular epidemiological study.
