Hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence estimation in the adult general population in Belgium: a meta-analysis.
burden. METHODS: Recently performed HCV prevalence studies in the general, adult population were included in this study, based on well-defined selection criteria. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate ...
Predominance of influenza virus A(H3N2) 3C.2a1b and A(H1N1)pdm09 6B.1A5A genetic subclades in the WHO European Region, 2018-2019.
dominated by influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 and (H3N2) viruses, with very few influenza B viruses detected. METHODS: Countries in the European Region reported virus characterization data to The European Surveillance ...
Diagnostic hepatitis C testing of people in treatment for substance use disorders in Belgium between 2011 and 2014: a cross-sectional study.
are scarce, and particularly for people who inject drugs. The current study refines the existing HCV estimates by focussing on diagnostic HCV testing practices for this population at risk. METHODS: The ...
Estimates of people who injected drugs within the last 12 months in Belgium based on a capture-recapture and multiplier method
capture-recapture harm reduction hidden population multiplier method People who inject drugs treatment Abstract: Background For Belgium, available estimates of the number of people who inject drugs (PWID) are based ...
Mycoplasma pneumoniae detections before and detections before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: results of a global survey, 2017 to 2021.
direct test methods (predominantly PCR), 34.24% on a combination of PCR and serology (no distinction between methods) and 3.37% on serology alone (only IgM considered). In all countries, incidence by ...
Avian cytokines- the natural approach to therapeutics.
environmentally-friendly alternative methods to control disease. Cytokines, as natural mediators and regulators of the immune response, offer exciting new alternatives to conventional chemical-based therapeutics. The ...
Dietary silver nanoparticles can disturb the gut microbiota in mice.
microbiota in mice at doses relevant for currently estimated human intake. METHODS: Mice were orally exposed to food (pellets) supplemented with increasing doses of Ag NP (0, 46, 460 or 4600 ppb) during 28 d. ...
