Burden of non-communicable diseases in Cyprus, 1990–2017: findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study
prevention of NCD s in Cyprus and guide evidence-based decision making. The objectives of this paper were to: 1) assess the burden of NCD s in terms of years of life lost (YLL s), years lived with disability ...
Trial Design of a Prospective Multicenter Diagnostic Accuracy Study of a Point-of-Care Test for the Detection of Taenia solium Taeniosis and Neurocysticercosis in Hospital-Based Settings in Tanzania
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Trevisan, Chiara; Inge Van Damme; Bernard Ngowi; Schmidt, Veronika; Dominik Stelzle; Karen Møller; Kabululu, Mwemezi; Charles Makasi; Magnussen, Pascal; Bottieau, Emmanuel; Abatih, Emmanuel; Mari ...
Production of Alternaria Toxins in Yellow Peach (Amygdalus persica) upon Artificial Inoculation with Alternaria alternate
to increase in most cases. Remarkably, alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), alternariol (AOH), and tenuazonic acid (TeA) were detected in the rotten tissue and also in the surrounding tissue, while ...
A shotgun metagenomics approach to detect and characterize unauthorized genetically modified microorganisms in microbial fermentation products
presence of a GMM in a microbial fermentation product, with characterization based on the detection of AMR genes and vectors, species and unnatural associations in the GMM genome. In our proof‐of‐concept ...
Validation strategy of a bioinformatics whole genome sequencing workflow for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli using a reference collection extensively characterized with conventional methods
detection and sequence typing. The workflow supports three commonly used bioinformatics approaches for the detection of genes and alleles: alignment with blast+, kmer-based read mapping with KMA, and direct ...
Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with lipophilic toxins with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
detection (LOD), especially in adductor muscle but also in gonads. Shucking in most cases resulted in a strong decrease in the toxin levels. For Pecten maximus, statistical analysis showed that levels in ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay

Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
OTA using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Daily CIT and OTA exposure to the Belgian population was calculated based on the analytical results and food consumption data ...
Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
allowing to provide a first picture of GM bacterial contaminations. It consisted in a first-line screening strategy gathering available PCR-based methods targeting both the B. subtilis species, frequently ...
Staphylococcal enterotoxin gene cluster: prediction of enterotoxin (SEG and SEI) production and of the source of food poisoning based on Saβ typing.
derived). The amount of SEG and SEI produced also correlated with the Saβ type and the CC of a strain. The present results show promising indications that the production of SEG and SEI can be predicted based ...
