Ketamine, a new (or old) kid on the block: A comprehensive three-year spatio-temporal study in Belgium through wastewater-based epidemiology
spatio-temporal trends. Daily 24-h composite IWW samples were collected from 26 locations across the northern part of Belgium (Flanders and Brussels region), every Monday and Wednesday in 2023 (n = 716). Additionally, ...
NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OF SARS-COV-2 IN WASTEWATER- How does WBE contribute to the global epidemiologic assessment in Belgium? (September 2020 – 2024)
24h-representative samples at the inlet of 42 wastewater treatment plants twice a week. The present report presents the COVID-19 wastewater-based epidemiology surveillance between February 2021 and December 2023 and ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
composite sampling at centralised treatment plants was most common, whereas grab sampling from surface waters, open drains, and pit latrines was more typical in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC ...
Third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine closes the gap in immune response between naïve nursing home residents and healthy adults.
registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04527614). FINDINGS: All included residents (n = 85) and staff members (n = 88) were SARS-CoV-2 infection naïve at third dose administration. Historical blood samples from ...
Development of a Droplet Digital PCR to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant BA.2 in Wastewater Samples
vitro for its inclusivity, sensitivity, and specificity. Moreover, wastewater samples were used as a proof of concept to monitor and quantify the emergence of the BA.2 variant from January until May 2022 ...
Prevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies and Potential Determinants among the Belgian Adult Population: Baseline Results of a Prospective Cohort Study
determinants were assessed in a random sample representative of the Belgian adult population. In total, 14,201 individuals (≥18 years) were invited by mail to provide saliva via an Oracol® swab. Survey weights ...
The Relation between Perceived and Actual Understanding and Adherence: Results from a National Survey on COVID-19 Measures in Belgium.
characteristics were considered risk factors for lower adherence. It consisted of a large online survey among a sample of the population (= 2008), representative of citizens of Belgium in terms of gender, age, ...
Determinants of adherence to COVID-19 measures among the Belgian population: an application of the protection motivation theory.
extent to which the general population in Belgium adhered to these measures, and which determinants were associated with adherence. METHODS: We undertook an internet survey among a sample of the Belgian ...
Monitoring of human coronaviruses in Belgian primary care and hospitals, 2015-20: a surveillance study.
their hospital stay. All samples were analysed by multiplex quantitative RT- PCR s for respiratory viruses, including seasonal hCoVs OC43, NL63, and 229E. We estimated the prevalence and incidence of ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
started in December 2019. COVID-19 cases are confirmed by the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in biological samples by RT-qPCR. However, limited numbers of SARS-CoV-2 genomes were available when the first ...
