Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
identify all biological material in a sample without a priori knowing what to look for, could transform the way specific key public health questions can be addressed, in a ONE Health context. Metagenomics is ...
Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with domoic acid with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
analytical sample. To address these questions, EFSA received suitable data on DA for only one scallop species, Pecten maximus, i.e. data on pooled samples of edible and non-edible parts. A large part of the ...
Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with lipophilic toxins with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
recommend the number of scallops in an analytical sample. To address these questions, EFSA received suitable data on the three toxin groups in two scallop species, Aequipecten opercularis and Pecten maximus, ...
Sociocultural Influences on Food Choices and Implications for Sustainable Healthy Diets.
primarily the ideational pathways, such as identity, gender, religion, and cultural prohibitions, and their influence on food practices. We then provide guiding questions, frameworks, and a brief overview of ...
Consumers' food choices, understanding and perceptions in response to different front-of-pack nutrition labelling systems in Belgium: results from an online experimental study.

Generating the evidence for risk reduction: a contribution to the future of food-based dietary guidelines.
research question. Explicit definitions of study questions should include participants, interventions/exposure, comparisons, outcomes and study design. Such type of meta-analyses should not only focus on ...
Nicotine Dependence and Urinary Nicotine, Cotinine and Hydroxycotinine Levels in Daily Smokers.
questions, sex, age, and the cotinine concentration, accounted for 45% of the variance of CPD. CONCLUSIONS: There are significant relationships between urinary levels of nicotine, cotinine, and hydroxycotinine ...
Data analysis associated with the use of whole genome sequencing for subtyping of pathogenic microorganisms, Salmonella Typhimurium as a case study
However, it is still a largely unresolved question how to convert WGS data into information of sufficient quality to be reliably used for epidemiological characterization and discrimination, including the ...
Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus on Belgian Pork.
a high prevalence was observed in pigs. At present, questions remain about the transmission of LA- MRSA to the general human population through pork. The objectives of the present study were to determine ...
Evaluation of viability-qPCR detection system on viable and dead Salmonella serovar Enteritidis.
observed on living S. Enteritidis at low concentration. Finally, the use of S. Enteritidis cells killed by processes altering or not the cell-wall/membrane gives us a clue to answering the question about the ...
