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 ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
refers to the amount and type of microorganisms present in a sample and reflects the level of biological contamination and associated potential health risks upon consumption of the product. We initially ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
Respiratory samples were also analysed for other respiratory viruses. In the ILI population, 70 % of the patients were positive for at least one respiratory virus (including Influenza and co-infections). In ...
THE ANALYSIS OF ILLICIT DRUGS COLLECTED DURING A SUMMER FESTIVAL AND EVALUATION OF THE NARCOREADER FOR ON-SITE ANALYSIS OF MDMA
time-consuming and of high cost. There is a need for more rapid and still accurate analysis, with cost-effective and portable methods. Aim: As the first goal of this study, a selection of drug samples is analysed ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
environmental samples. This has a negative downstream effect on possible risk assessment studies that would establish the exposure and influence of the different cyanotoxins on public health, and on the final ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
based on the sequencing of all genetic material of the sample without isolation has become available some years ago, e.g. shotgun metagenomics. It allows to get a screenshot of every microbiological ...

CHROMATOGRAPHIC FINGERPRINT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS IN PLANT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
by preparing triturations of TT with herbal matrices in varying ratios (½, ⅕, 1/10, 1/15, ½0). Twenty unknown samples were screened for TT and further confirmation was carried out by UH ¨ PLC-mass ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
surveillance. User-friendly access to the workflows is provided to both internal and external scientists through web-accessible Galaxy instances. In emergencies, the sample-to-result time for WGS can be ...
