Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
characterization had only been achieved in a handful of studies, and had not been proven possible when more than one strain of the same species were present. Moreover, the genome obtained from metagenomics sequences ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
a complex classification system into 2 species, 6 subspecies and more than 2500 serotypes. The severity of salmonellosis is highly conditioned by, amongst other factors, the infected host species and the ...
Fusarium, clinical relevance and mass spectrometry methods for identification, using strains of the Belgian fungal culture collection BCCM/IHEM
Mass Spectrometry Abstract: A correct identification of mold species causing human infections is of the utmost importance since treatment may differ depending on the infecting species. However, this is ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
a specific ITS-based SYBR ®green real-time PCR (qPCR) assay for Aspergillus versicolor, a species frequently observed in indoor air and known to be allergenic. Additionally, an ITS-based qPCR assay was ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
However, the low prevalence in deer disregards these species as reservoir contrarily to the epidemiological role played by them in other countries. This evidence needs further investigation in order to ...
Development of a generic and open source Incidence-Prevalence-Mortality model for the assessment of chronic disease epidemiology
epidemiological parameters of a disease. In particular, inputs on disease incidence, remission, and case fatality were needed to determine the disease-speci c mortality and prevalence. However, an iterative ...
