Personal exposure to traffic-related air pollutants and relationships with respiratory symptoms and oxidative stress: A pilot cross-sectional study among urban green space workers
urinary biomarkers (1-hydroxypyrene, 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, S-phenylmercapturic acid) and questionnaires. Data on respiratory health and oxidative stress were collected using questionnaires and ...
Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in food
PFOA PFOS Risk Assessment Abstract: Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific evaluation on the risks to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) ...
Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of Campylobacter coli from diarrhoeal patients and broiler carcasses in Belgium.
antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, tetracycline, gentamicin, and erythromycin) were analysed. Strains were most frequently resistant to tetracycline (81.4%), followed by: ...
Differences in antigenic sites and other functional regions between genotype A and G mumps virus surface proteins.
haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), are key factors in mumps pathogenesis and are important targets for the immune response during mumps virus infection. We compared the predicted amino acid sequences of the F and HN genes from ...
Application of whole genome data for in silico evaluation of primers and probes routinely employed for the detection of viral species by RT-qPCR using dengue virus as a case study.
targeted nucleic acid regions. Whole genome sequencing allows to characterize and track such changes, which in turn enables to evaluate, optimize, and (re-)design novel and existing RT-qPCR methods. The ...
Screening for nanoparticles in complex matrices within a regulatory framework: are we there yet?
pristine E174 food additives and food samples containing E174. The determination of total Ag in the food samples by means of inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry (ICP- OES) after acid ...
Genome Editing in Agriculture: Methods, Applications, and Governance—A paper in the series on The Need for Agricultural Innovation to Sustainably Feed the World by 2050
(CAST), Volume 60, Issue 60 (2018) Abstract: Genome editing is the process of making precise, targeted sequence changes in the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells and organisms. Recent advances have made ...
Genetic Basis and Clonal Population Structure of Antibiotic Resistance in Isolated From Broiler Carcasses in Belgium.
antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, tetracycline, gentamicin, and erythromycin) were determined for 204 isolates. More than half of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin or nalidixic acid. In ...
Arsenic Speciation Analysis Elucidates the Risk Assesment of Food Supplements with Ingredients of Marine Origin. 9th Nordic Conference on plasma spectrochemistry
Abstract: Many potential health benefits are related to the consumption of marine organisms due to the presence of high amounts of beneficial bioactive compounds (e.g. polyunsaturated fatty acids, various ...
Complete coding sequence of a novel picorna-like virus in a blackbird infected with Usutu virus.
reads) was determined from a blackbird (Turdus merula) infected with Usutu virus. This sequence shares only 36% amino acid sequence identity with its closest homolog, arivirus 1, (an unclassified member of ...
