Surveillance of COVID-19 mortality in Belgium, epidemiology and methodology during 1st and 2nd wave (March 2020- 14 February 2021)
both for the total period and for the second wave. International comparison and ranking of COVID-19 crude mortality rates are misleading because of very heterogeneous methods used (e.g. case definition, ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
conventional analysis based on isolation, serotyping and MLVA (multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis) comparison, followed by whole-genome sequencing, to confirm the source of the contamination over ...
Intra- and inter-laboratory comparison of mDixon and FastFung broths for Malassezia antifungal susceptibility testing.

Burden of disease methods: A guide to calculate COVID-19 Disability-Adjusted Life Years
countries, with wide variation in incidence and infection fatality rates [4]. Understanding and quantifying the combined impact of morbidity and mortality is a key step to standardizing comparisons across ...
Phylogenomic Investigation of Increasing Fluoroquinolone Resistance among Belgian Cases of Shigellosis between 2013 and 2018 Indicates Both Travel-Related Imports and Domestic Circulation.
underlying genomic features associated with ciprofloxacin resistance. A comparison between observed phenotypes and WGS-based resistance prediction to ciprofloxacin revealed perfect correspondence for all ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.
using a Luminex-bead based assay and comparison to a virus neutralization test. While we show that neutralizing antibody levels are significantly lower in mild than in severe cases, we demonstrate that ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
The transferability of this method was tested in an interlaboratory comparison study among seven experienced European food control and food research laboratories equipped with various ICP- MS ...

Estimating the direct Covid-19 disability-adjusted life years impact on the Malta population for the first full year
allowing for comprehensive comparisons of the population. The aim was to estimate the DALY s due to Covid-19 in Malta (March 2020–21) and investigate its impact in relation to other causes of disease at ...
