Quantitative decision making in animal health surveillance: Bovine Tuberculosis Surveillance in Belgium as case study.
identify sustainable alternatives, which substantiate a bTB-free claim while ensuring early detection and acceptance by various animal health stakeholders. For this pupose, a stochastic iteration model was ...
Development of vibrational spectroscopic methods combined with chemometrics for the detection and quantification of nicotine in e-liquids.
spectroscopy Nicotine RAMAN Abstract: E-cigarette have become a popular alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. They are sold in vapeshops and online. However, in Belgium, it is prohibited to import or to buy ...
Intra- and inter-laboratory comparison of mDixon and FastFung broths for Malassezia antifungal susceptibility testing.
between laboratories with EA s ranging from 94.7% to 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, FFB is a suitable alternative to mDXB for Malassezia spp. AFST. Health Topics: Health and disease monitoring Surveillance ...
Detection of Clinical and Subclinical Lumpy Skin Disease Using Ear Notch Testing and Skin Biopsies.
investigate ear notches and biopsies from unaffected skin taken from the neck and dorsal back as alternatives to blood samples. It was concluded that for early LSD confirmation, normal skin biopsies and ear ...
Characterisation of tetanus monoclonal antibodies as a first step towards the development of an in vitro vaccine potency immunoassay.
Antoine Francotte; Paul Stickings Source: Biologicals, Volume 71 (2021) Keywords: Animal Testing Alternatives Animals Antibodies, Monoclonal Immunoassay Tetanus Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine Potency Abstract: ...
Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies
Flongle flow cell, on an extract treated with eukaryotic host DNA removal. Moreover, an alternative approach based on in silico DNA walking allowed to obtain rapid confirmation of the presence of ...
4DEMON: Integrating 40 Years of Data on PCB and Metal Contamination in Marine Sediments of the Belgian Part of the North Sea
highly standardized trend modeling approaches like those proposed by regional sea conventions such as OSPAR, named after the Oslo and Paris conventions.Therefore, we applied alternative approaches, ...
Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks
during SFP outbreak investigation. Although confirming the production of enterotoxins remains important for SFP investigation, we delivered a proof-of-concept that WGS is a valid alternative and/or ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.
(e.g. virus neutralization assays), or are expensive with suboptimal specificity (e.g. commercial ELISA s and RDT s). Bead-based assays offer a cost-effective alternative and allow for multiplexing to ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
titanium dioxide nanomaterial according to the current EU regulatory requirements. The overall positive outcome of the method performance evaluation and the current lack of alternative standardised ...
