Epidemiological Dynamics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the Horn of Africa: The Role of Virus Diversity and Animal Movement.
legal and illegal trading of livestock and their products, coupled with poor biosecurity practices, are also reported to impact the spread of FMDV within and between countries in the region. The porosity ...
Development of a Droplet Digital PCR to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant BA.2 in Wastewater Samples
used as a complementary method to other SARS-CoV-2 surveillance systems. It allows the emergence and spread of infections and SARS-CoV-2 variants to be monitored in time and place. This study presents an ...
Assessment of the clinical and analytical performance of the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay using the VALCOR protocol.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of diagnostic testing against curbing the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The urgent need and scale for diagnostic tools resulted in manufacturers ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
study within the problematic of the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment. These organisms are genetically modified to enhance the production of a compound (e.g. enzymes, vitamins), and ...

ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
investigations indicated two clusters: HC5_296366 (cluster 1) and HC5_298160 (cluster 2). We assessed the extent of the outbreak in Belgium and took measures to limit further spread. Methods Probable and ...
MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Online Identification of Using the MSI-2 Application.
spread from India to Europe and that is more prone than other species of the complex to show resistance to terbinafine, resulting in the necessity of rapid identification. Here, we improved the online ...
First Belgian Report of Ertapenem Resistance in an ST11 Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strain Isolated from a Dog Carrying blaSCO-1 and blaDHA-1 Combined with Permeability Defects
Klebsiella pneumoniae of sequence type (ST) 11 is a hyper-epidemic nosocomial clone, which is spreading worldwide among humans and emerging in pets. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of ...
Identification of diffusion routes of O/EA-3 topotype of foot-and-mouth disease virus in Africa and Western Asia between 1974 and 2019- a phylogeographic analysis.
depends largely on understanding the dynamics of FMD virus (FMDV) spread. In light of the recent outbreaks of FMD that affected the North-Western African countries in 2018 and 2019, we investigated the ...
Population Analysis of O26 Shiga Toxin-Producing Causing Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Italy, 1989-2020, Through Whole Genome Sequencing.
accessory genomic fraction. A novel O26 STEC clone belonging to Sequence Type (ST) 29 and harboring, and plasmid-borne genes has emerged and spread in Europe since the mid-1990s, while another ST29 clone ...
