gene in Africa before January, 2019. Following PRISMA guidelines, 53 studies that sequenced the Pfkelch13 gene of 23 100 sample isolates in 41 sub-Saharan African countries were included. The Pfkelch13 ...
The Belgian health examination survey: objectives, design and methods.
the BELHES until a predefined number ( = 1100) was reached. To obtain the required sample size, 4918 eligible BHIS participants had to be contacted. Data were collected at the participant’s home by ...
Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.
Sequencing (WGS) (n=4) methods were used to characterize samples/strains during 2009-2019. Three MLVA clusters (A, B, C) subdivided in 23 subclusters (A1- A12, B1- B8, C1- C3) and 3 SNP types (SNP1, SNP2, ...
