Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
Secondly, adjusted WBE metrics at different lag times were used to predict incident COVID-19 cases. Model selection was based on AIC c minimization. Results: In 3¾0 WWTP s, RNA levels were best explained by ...
Release of silver and titanium from face masks traded for the general population.
present in masks advertised for antimicrobial properties; whereas titanium dioxide (TiO) particles were detected in all the face masks in at least one layer corroborating its widespread use in the textile ...
Data collection in pandemic times: the case of the Belgian COVID-19 health surveys
COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the pandemic challenged classical survey methods. Time and budgetary constraints at the beginning of the pandemic led to ad hoc recruitment of participants and easily manageable data ...

Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
misleading positive chemicals exposed at their IC10 concentration was determined. In addition, the applicability of both prediction models on a publicly available gene expression dataset, generated with ...
A multi-country One Health foodborne outbreak simulation exercise: cross-sectoral cooperation, data sharing and communication.
(OHEJP SimEx) aimed at practicing the OH capacity and interoperability across public health, animal health and food safety sectors in a challenging outbreak scenario. The OHEJP SimEx was delivered through ...
Determination of vaccine bacterial endotoxins content by the rFC method
endotoxin in bacterial vaccines. The limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) and the recombinant factor C (rFC) assays are suitable for all vaccines tested. The rFC method has been implemented at Sciensano for batch ...
Virological surveillance report of the NRC influenza for season 2022-2023
metapneumovirus, but it continued to circulate in January 2023. Influenza viruses were responsible for a first epidemic wave at the end of December 2022 — so slightly earlier than during the seasons preceding the ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
season of moderate intensity characterized by the co-circulation of A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2), with the predominance of A(H1N1). The epidemic threshold was crossed at week 4-2020 (January 13 to January 19, ...
Integrating human papillomavirus testing as a point-of care service using GeneXpert platforms: Findings and lessons from a Kenyan pilot study (2019-2020).
trained in cervical cancer screening and treatment, and only 69% (40/58) of those trained were stationed at service provision areas. Testing capacity was identifed as the main challenge, while the community ...
