Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
Safety microbiological contaminants shotgun metagenomics Abstract: Foodborne contaminations are a global burden on public health worldwide. For many years, and until recently, the microbial contaminants ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
Evaluation of the types, efficient use and health risks of application of silver-based biocides to provide antimicrobial properties to face masks applied during the Covid-19 crisis
a more refined risk evaluation. The amount of silver in the four masks that contain Ag0 NP, Ag+ ions, and/or non-nanoparticulate silver exceeded the AEL mask. Per case an in depth risk analysis needs to be ...

Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium
exposure Abstract: Background: The prevalence of pollen allergy has increased due to urbanization, climate change and air pollution. The effects of green space and air pollution on respiratory health 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 ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
was found for more incident cases of thyroid cancer near the two nuclear power plants. Regarding the two industrial and research nuclear sites, no evidence for a higher incidence in the vicinity of ...
