Respi-Radar: a tool to monitor respiratory infections, Belgium, winter season 2023/24.
infections. Linking specific measures to each risk level was less straightforward. The experience gained using the Respi-Radar tool was key in determining an appropriate approach to assess and manage the ...
Microbiological hygiene and food safety assessment of urban aquaponic farming.
(generic E. coli, coliforms, and Enterobacteriaceae) and total plate counts were determined during two distinct two-month production periods, focused on basil production from seed to mature plant and all ...
Host transcriptome profiling for resistance against lumpy skin disease (LSD).
IL1RAP gene expression could be a potential determinant in distinguishing between resilient and susceptible cattle (padj < 0.05). It was significantly shifted from up-regulated prior to infection to ...
Method development for analysis of nanoplastics in drinking water and milk using transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM- EDX) allowed differentiating plastic particles from mineral contaminants on the grid by their elemental composition. The limit of detection, determined by the sample ...
Molecular and WGS-based characterization of invasive Neisseria meningitidis isolates collected in Belgium (2016-2022) and MenB-FHbp vaccine coverage estimation of serogroup B.
used for serogroup determination and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to further characterize these strains. The observed serogroups were: MenB (n = 281), MenY (n = 95), MenW (n = 83), MenC ...
Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates within food outbreaks by single nucleotide polymorphisms.
this study, we propose a SNP cut-off by taking into account the mutation rate and the evolution time of this pathogen in food. Through in vitro microevolution, we determined the mutation rate of three S. ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2024
according to a coherent framework. To tackle this objective, the disease burden attributable to environmental stressors is estimated using comparative risk assessment (CRA). As this method determines the ...
Assessing particle count in electron microscopy measurements of nanomaterials to support regulatory guidance
for different particle size and shape measurands, mathematical relationships betweenparticle count and precision, and subsequently to determine the minimum particle count. Our resultsconfirm that the ...
What makes an epidemic a disaster: the future of epidemics within the EM-DAT International Disaster Database.
system, serves as a determinant of epidemic disasters. The experts favored deaths and confirmed cases as key indicators, alongside suggestions on refining EM- DAT ’s entry criteria and improving epidemic ...
Particle size analysis of iron hydroxide adipate tartrate (IHAT) in a food supplement: Interlaboratory testing of a dynamic light scattering method
constituent particle size, referred to in the implementing regulation as ‘primary particle size’. In this study, a method to determine the constituent particle size distribution of IHAT using the volume-based ...
