Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
result in CVD are not fully understood. To comprehensively describe and understand the pathways through which pollutant exposure leads to cardiotoxicity, a systematic mapping review of the available ...
Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
for 14 days at two temperature conditions: a constant 25 °C and a 25/15 °C day/night temperature gradient. Our results show that is a competent vector for JEV at the 25 °C condition and this with an ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
food Food Safety Health Risk Assessment microcystins WATER Abstract: Increased awareness in the media and strict control by competent authorities resulted in an overall risk perception of toxic ...
Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
available in an in-house created reference database containing over 1,700 strains from the BCCM / IHEM fungal collection. Results: A total of 149 isolates including 18 yeasts and 131 filamentous fungi were ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
the STEC strain from the endogenous E.coli strains while an Illumina MiSeq run takes 48 hours. Moreover, the lower-cost Flongle flow cell showed the same results after 24 hours of sequencing when using ...

Sentinel-2 Satellite and Hysplit Model Show that Local Cereal Harvesting Substantially Contributes to Peak Alternaria Spore Concentrations
weather on peak spore concentrations. The results showed that the Sentinel-2 satellite detected agricultural areas that underwent intensive harvesting and this coincided with a rapid increase of Alternaria ...
In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.
results for coumarin are presented in more detail as a case study. Overall, it can be concluded that although they are in general less developed than those for mutagenicity, in silico tools for chromosome ...
Importance of anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay antigenic composition as revealed by the results of the Belgian external quality assessment (EQA) scheme.
divergent results in the Belgian SARS-CoV-2 serology external quality assessment scheme. Sample IS /17575 was serum originating from a 30 years old male patient. 124 diagnostic laboratories analysed this ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS); NUTS-1 (n = 3), or NUTS-3 (n = 43). Results We found no consistent differences between both exposure methods. We observed most robust associations with lung cancer ...
