Linking animal and human health burden: challenges and opportunities
associated with the agricultural industry, such as pharmaceuticals and climate change. For each process, the current state of the art and feasibility of global DALY-associated estimates are discussed. Existing ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creationAbstract
Machine Learning Abstract: Airborne bioparticles, including fungal spores, are of major concern for human and plant health, necessitating precise monitoring systems. While a European norm exists for manual ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
fungal spores, are of major concern for human and plant health, necessitating precise monitoring systems. While a European norm exists for manual volumetric monitoring, there’s a growing interest in ...
Evaluation of a rapid lateral flow assay for the detection of taeniosis and cysticercosis at district hospital level in Tanzania: A prospective multicentre diagnostic accuracy study.
real-world conditions, revealing divergent estimates across distinct cohorts. The study underscores the suboptimal performance of existing tests under field conditions, emphasizing the need to enhance and ...
Development of a shotgun metagenomics workflow for the comprehensive surveillance of biological impurities in vitamin-containing food products
resistance genes. Existing control strategies rely on targeted PCR-based methods, unsuitable to detect untargeted or unknown impurities. In this study, we developed an open shotgun metagenomic sequencing ...
How to scale up telemedicine for cancer prevention and care? Recommendations for sustainably implementing telemedicine services within EU health systems
Significant disparities exist across European countries in cancer prevention, diagnostics, treatment, and care, which impact patient outcomes. The Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan aims to improve cancer prevention ...
Health networking on cancer in the European Union: a ‘green paper’ by the EU Joint Action on Networks of Expertise (JANE)
diseases. The European Union (EU)’s Beating Cancer Plan foresaw the addition of new health networks to the four already existing European Reference Networks on rare cancers: the Network of Comprehensive ...
A protocol for identifying the needs related to drug use, health and social (re)integration of people living in prison within five European countries
A need exists for increasing the knowledge about health needs, drug use patterns and the coverage of drug-related interventions in prison within Europe. The current protocol describes the design of a study ...
The prevalence of pathogens in ticks collected from humans in Belgium, 2021, versus 2017.
was repeated in 2021. METHODS: During the tick season 2021, citizens were invited to have ticks removed from their skin, send them and fill in a short questionnaire on an existing citizen science ...
Benchmarking bacterial taxonomic classification using nanopore metagenomics data of several mock communities
Although few classifiers designed for long reads exist, they generally exhibit better performance. Our comprehensive benchmarking provides concrete recommendations, supported by publicly available code for ...
