Protection conferred by an H5 DNA vaccine against highly pathogenic avian influenza in chickens: The effect of vaccination schedules.

sensitive areas could be a complementary measure to the disease control strategies already applied. In this study, the efficacy of a novel DNA vaccine, encoding a H5 gene (A/gyrfalcon/Washington/41088-6/2014 ...

Full Characterisation of Heroin Samples Using Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariate Calibration

environment of user centra, could be a supplementary service in the context of harm reduction. Infrared spectroscopy hyphenated with multivariate calibration could be a valuable asset in this context, and ...

The landscape of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a mapping systematic review

parasites harboring mutations related to mefloquine-resistance, but we could suspect those with decreased susceptibility to quinine, amodiaquine, and lumefantrine based on corresponding molecular surrogates. ...

Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among adults in Belgium

likely to receive the subsequent booster dose compared to COVID-naïve individuals. This information could be used to guide future vaccination campaigns during a pandemic and can provide valuable insights ...

Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices

a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...

Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling

strands to be sequenced preferably. The combination of metagenomics and adaptive sampling could allow to circumvent the isolation but also the enrichment of the food sample. Materials and Methods As ...

Genomic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants using sentinel SARI hospital surveillance.

remained minor in Belgium. Omicron BA.3 was never detected in SARI surveillance. Timeliness could not be evaluated for B.1.1.7, being already major at the start of the study period. CONCLUSIONS: Genomic ...

RNA sequencing of avian paramyxovirus (Paramyxoviridae, Avulavirinae) isolates from wild mallards in Belgium, 2021: complete genomes and coinfections.

genome segments of an AIV of subtype H11N9 could be de novo assembled from the sequencing data. Besides an AIV coinfection, RNA metagenomic data from the APMV-4 isolate also showed evidence of ...

Assessing the benefits of hypothetical air pollution reduction interventions on stroke in Belgium

that air pollution reduction interventions could decrease the prevalence of stroke in Belgium. Key messages • Air pollution reduction interventions could significantly decrease the prevalence of stroke ...

Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies

could potentially be pathogenic upon oral uptake of the samples. Our results indicate that 50% of the samples were not compliant for their microbial quality (see Table 7), indicating that improper ...
