VALCOR: a protocol for the validation of SARS-corona virus-2 assays
or other specimens from the human respiratory tract. Methods: The VALCOR panel of samples will contain clinical human specimens and standardised artificial specimens. The collection of clinical ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
curtail the virus spread. Additionally, emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants have increased the need for genomic surveillance to detect particular strains because of their potentially increased transmissibility, ...
Residential Exposure to Urban Trees and Medication Sales for Mood Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease in Brussels, Belgium: An Ecological Study
prescribed for mood disorders and cardiovascular disease. Methods: We developed a workflow to automatically isolate all individual trees from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data collected in ...
Reduced humoral immune response after BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 messenger RNA vaccination in cancer patients under antineoplastic treatment.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this interventional prospective multicohort study, priming and booster doses of the BNT162 b2 COVID-19 vaccine were administered 21 days apart to solid tumor patients receiving ...
Prevalence estimates of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Belgium: results from two cross-sectional studies.
This study aimed to estimate the point-prevalence of chlamydia in the broader Belgian population, to inform evidence-based prevention and control strategies. METHODS: We conducted two cross-sectional ...
