Continued Circulation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Variants and Detection of Novel Transmission Foci, the Netherlands.
locations considered to be at high risk for TBEV circulation. We found TBEV RNA in 3 rodents (0.9%) and 7 tick pools (minimum infection rate 0.02%) from 5 geographically distinct foci. Phylogenetic analyses ...
SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in Belgian Wastewaters
for 15 months comprising three major virus waves. During the entire period, a high correlation was observed between the daily new COVID-19 cases and the SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater corrected ...
Accuracy of high-risk HPV DNA PCR, p16(INK4a) immunohistochemistry or the combination of both to diagnose HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer
HPV mRNA; Oropharyngeal carcinoma; HPV-AHEAD Abstract: Background The incidence of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV)-driven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, in particular oropharyngeal ...
Predictive model for BNT162b2 vaccine response in cancer patients based on blood cytokines and growth factors.
identifying cancer patients at persistent high risk of COVID-19 despite vaccination with BNT162 b2. Our data also suggest that such a signature may reflect the inherent immunological constitution of some cancer ...
COVID-19 contact tracing in Belgium: main indicators and performance, January- September 2021.
symptom onset and contact tracing initiation was around 5 days, of which 4 days corresponded to pre-testing delay. High-Risk Contacts (HRC) were reported by 49% of the contacted index cases. The mean number ...
The influence of risk perceptions on close contact frequency during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
with high levels of perceived severity after controlling for other variables. Our results highlight the key role of perceived severity on social contact behaviour during a pandemic. Nevertheless, ...
Validity of self-reported air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollutants in Belgium
exposure to air pollution, they do allow to classify individuals in groups of relative exposure levels, ranking participants from low over medium to high air pollution exposure. This model represents a rapid ...
First detection of a plasmid-encoded New-Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) producing Acinetobacter baumannii using whole genome sequencing, isolated in a clinical setting in Benin.
its high potential risk of horizontal gene transfer due to being integrated into a transposon located on a plasmid. Strict control and prevention measures should be taken, once NDM-1 positive A. ...
Position paper on the use of an “estimated acceptable concentration” (EAC) as basis for a control policy's action level for carcinogens unintentionally present in food
absence of legal maximum limits, the competent authority may act if high contamination levels that endanger public health are identified. A pragmatic approach to identify whether a value is potentially too ...
New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
overall better performance than existing free and commercial models for the same endpoint, while demonstrating high coverage. Health Topics: Health and disease monitoring Surveillance de la santé et des ...
