Comparison of SNP-based subtyping workflows for bacterial isolates using WGS data, applied to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and serotype 1,4,[5],12:i:.
including five isolates from a confirmed outbreak and three isolates obtained from the same patient at different time points. The analysis was carried out using the original (high-coverage) and a down-sampled ...
Arsenic Speciation Analysis Elucidates the Risk Assesment of Food Supplements with Ingredients of Marine Origin. 9th Nordic Conference on plasma spectrochemistry
the consumption of these types of FS, based on 60 samples collected in a Belgian market study. In this context, the determination of the most toxic fraction, inorganic arsenic (As i) and the non-toxic ...
Complete coding sequence of a novel picorna-like virus in a blackbird infected with Usutu virus.
specific for ORF1 confirmed the presence of high levels of this novel virus in the original sample. Nucleotide composition analysis suggests that blackbird arilivirus is of dietary (plant) origin. Health ...
Prevalence of drug use during sex amongst MSM in Europe: Results from a multi-site bio-behavioural survey.

Analysis of mineral oil in food: results of a Belgian market survey
of liquid chromatography with gas chromatography (LC – GC) with flame ionisation detection (FID) was used for the quantification of MOSH and MOAH. Totally, 217 packed food samples were selected using ...
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.

European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net Belgium)- Report 2017 (Data up to and including 2016)
Antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) in 8 pathogens isolated from blood or cerebrospinal fluid samples. For Streptococcus pneumonia isolates, national AST data for 2016 from 97 laboratories was provided by ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors related to small ruminant lentivirus infections in Belgian sheep and goats.
makes it difficult to evaluate the risk of SRLV transmission from non-certified to SRLV free certified farms. We performed a nationwide SRLV seroprevalence study based on a stratified sampling ...
Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention.
assuming alternatively no acclimatization and acclimatization based on a constant threshold percentile temperature. RESULTS: During the sample period 2009-2013 we observed an increase in daily mortality from ...
Evaluation of mycobacteria-specific gamma interferon and antibody responses before and after a single intradermal skin test in cattle naturally exposed to M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis and experimentally infected with M. bovis.
infected with a Belgian field strain of M. bovis. Heparinized blood, serum and fecal samples were collected at regular time intervals for mycobacteria-specific IFN-γ release assays, antibody analysis and for ...
