Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.
sequencing Abstract: Even though Listeria monocytogenes is an extensive-studied foodborne pathogen, genome analysis of isolates from snails that may represent a reservoir of L. monocytogenes are still scarce. ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in spices and dried herbs and associated risk for the Belgian population
detected in 56% of samples, while ΣPAH4 were found in 96% of samples. ΣPAH4 were evenly distributed among the three groups with a median content of 7.2 for traditional spices, 5.5 for exotic spices and 6.0 ...
EU health information progress: the harvest of policy supporting projects and networks
struggling or have gone lost, despite their policy relevance. Participation in the projects was not evenly distributed across Europe. Project information was made available through the Health ...
Flanders and Brussels join forces to tackle animal testing
A new and improved version of the RE-Place platform which was recently launched makes it even easier to collect the available expertise in Brussels and Flanders. As part of this launch, both regions are ...
Lyme borreliosis in Belgium: a cost-of-illness analysis
medical costs, direct non-medical and indirect non-medical costs associated with LB to exceed €5.5 million per year, almost evenly distributed between EM (40%) and disseminated/late LB (60%). EM costs 26 ...
Brussels region finances VUB research into alternatives to animal experiments
“So it is fundamental that these kinds of method can be developed. And even if in certain cases animal experiments remain a necessary evil, we must keep in mind the objective of drastically reducing ...
WGS- versus ORF5-Based Typing of PRRSV: A Belgian Case Study.
even among Belgian PRRSV-1 strains. To gain more insight into the added value of WGS, we performed phylogenetic cluster analyses on separate ORF datasets as well as on a single, concatenated dataset ...
Citizens’ perception of and engagement with health data secondary use and sharing in Europe – a literature review
seem to be opposed to the cross-border sharing of their data and would even in favour of it, as long as it remains within the borders of the European Union. Service: Centre du cancer Kankercentrum ...
Retrospective evaluation of routine whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Belgian National Reference Center, 2019.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms the effectiveness of WGS for the rapid detection of complex and its drug resistance profiles for first-line drugs even when working directly on MGIT tubes, and supports the ...
Strategy to Develop and Evaluate a Multiplex RT-ddPCR in Response to SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Evolution.
appearing around the world. However, even by using a large collection of samples, laboratories are not able to test a representative collection of samples that deals with the same level of diversity that is ...
