Attributing Ethiopian animal health losses to high-level causes using expert elicitation
high-level causes (infectious, non-infectious, and external). Separate in-person workshops were conducted with eight cattle, nine small ruminant, and eight chicken experts. Following the ...
Coadministered pneumococcal conjugate vaccine decreases immune response to hepatitis A vaccine: a randomized controlled trial.
considered protective was reached by 71 of 85 (83.5%) in the PCV13 +HepA group versus 76 of 79 (96.2%) in the HepA group, p 0.008. The increases in anti-pneumococcal IgG and OPA levels were comparable in the ...
Knowledge, perceptions and practices related to mosquitoes and mosquito-borne viruses: survey in Belgium, 2022
levels (low, medium or high depending on number of correct answers) and scores for perceptions, self-efficacy, cues to action and preventive measures. Results We included 776 participants (62% females), of ...
Interim analysis of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation and death using electronic health records in six European countries
Burden and Impact Studies (VEBIS) project. A retrospective cohort was constructed from linked electronic health records (EHR) in each country. Countryspecific (level) relative VE (rVE) was estimated on ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
increasing trend seems to be levelling off since 2000. The purpose of this study is to examine this trend over the past two decades in Belgium and whether this trend differs by the parents’ socioeconomic ...

Dietary exposure of Sorbates (E 200 – 202) and Benzoates (E 210 – 213) for the Belgian population
concentrations varied widely due to the nature of the food/beverage and the specific Maximum Permitted Levels (MPL s) defined by Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. MPL s were exceeded in 17 samples, while composite ...
Federated causal inference based on real-world observational data sources: application to a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectiveness assessmentAbstractIntroductionMethodsResultsConclusions
sensitive individual-level data from populations crossing jurisdictional borders, a federated approach (as opposed to a pooling data approach) can be used. Approaching causal inference by re-using routinely ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
samples during an outbreak investigation requires the samples to be enriched in order to reach detectable levels. However, a bias can occur during the enrichment of the food due to competition between the ...
