Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
Abstract:, a day-active mosquito known to feed aggressively on humans, was reported as a nuisance species near an abandoned pigsty in Belgium. Since Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an emerging zoonotic ...
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 ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion: Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
method allowed to detect and quantify eight microcystin congeners. The mcyE gene was detected using PCR, while dominant cyanobacterial species were identified using 16S RNA amplification and direct ...
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
science Forest mapping respiratory health Species distribution modelling Urban vegetation Abstract: Mapping the distribution of allergenic plants in urbanized landscapes is of high importance to evaluate ...
Exposure to green spaces may strengthen resilience and support mental health in the face of the covid-19 pandemic
improve physical resilience. Thirdly, purposeful or pro-environmental behaviour and the anticipation of seeing interesting species (birds or orchids, for example) may activate positive emotions and improve ...
Lineages Within the Trichophyton rubrum Complex.
185, Issue 1 (2020) Keywords: Arthrodermataceae Phylogeny Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Trichophyton Abstract: The most important species of the Trichophyton rubrum ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
in MaxEnt models. Tree diversity was modelled by adding up the individual species distribution models. Models in the dominantly rural areas were driven by soil characteristics (soil texture and ...

Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
valorization. To find out which high biomass crop possessed the highest and most constant (in time) phytoextraction potential on these soils, different plant species and different mutants or clones of each ...
