Application of whole genome data for in silico evaluation of primers and probes routinely employed for the detection of viral species by RT-qPCR using dengue virus as a case study.
targeted nucleic acid regions. Whole genome sequencing allows to characterize and track such changes, which in turn enables to evaluate, optimize, and (re-)design novel and existing RT-qPCR methods. The ...

Nucleotide Sequence Database Comparison for Routine Dermatophyte Identification by Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 Genetic Region DNA Barcoding.
mislabeled sequences that impair sequence-based identification. We evaluated five of these databases on a clinical isolate panel. We selected 292 clinical dermatophyte strains that were prospectively subjected ...
Short-term effects of nitrogen dioxide on hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease in Wallonia, Belgium.
cardiovascular health in Wallonia for the period 2008-2011. This study also seeks to evaluate the effects of age, gender, season and temperature on this association. The effect of the delay between exposure and ...
Do current fortification and supplementation programs assure adequate intake of fat-soluble vitamins in Belgian infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and lactating women?
the neonate, and the young child. By means of an online self-administered frequency questionnaire, this study aimed to evaluate the intake of vitamins A, D, E, and K in Belgian infants (= 455), toddlers ...
National public health system responses to diabetes and other important noncommunicable diseasesNationale Public-Health-Maßnahmen für Diabetes und andere wichtige nichtübertragbare Krankheiten
systems to identify high-risk groups and evaluate the effect of measures at the population level based on analyses of time trends in risk factors and disease outcomes. Overall, the workshop highlighted the ...
Measurement equivalence of the Belgian health interview auto-questionnaire: paper-based versus web-based mode.
paper-and-pencil and the web-based questionnaire were evaluated. A two-period cross-over study was organized with a sample of 149 employees of two Belgian research institutes (age range 22-62 years, 72% female). ...
Development and validation of a protocol for optimizing the use of paraffin blocks in molecular epidemiological studies: The example from the HPV-AHEAD study.
A consensus histopathology evaluation form was developed by an international panel of pathologists and evaluated for four indicators in a pilot analysis in order to validate it: 1) presence/type of tumor ...
Development of a dot-blot assay for the detection of mould-specific IgE in the Belgian population
Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium herbarum. Objectives To validate a dot-blot assay for the detection of specific IgE and evaluate the prevalence of mould sensitization in a healthy population. Methods The ...
