NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OF SARS-COV-2 IN WASTEWATER- How does WBE contribute to the global epidemiologic assessment in Belgium? (September 2020 – 2024)
tool, especially at the time where the testing capacity was high. Also, a preceding character was evidenced in several areas and is discussed in a dedicated section of the present report. Finally, results ...
A One-Health approach to monitoring antimicrobial consumption in Belgium 2012-2021
were performed to assess the correlation between AMC and time. Results Significant reductions in total AMC (mg/kg estimated biomass) were observed over time in both humans and animals. Notably, in ...
Prevalence of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Belgian Acute Care Hospitals in 2022: Results of ECDC Point Prevalence Survey
level. All patients present in the surveyed wards at 8 a.m. on the PPS day and not discharged at that time, were included. Modifications from the 2017 protocol included the incorporation of infection ...
Clinical performance of the novel full-genotyping OncoPredict HPV Quantitative Typing assay using the VALGENT framework.
multiplex real-time PCR quantitative assay targeting E6 / E7 genes, allowing individual viral load determination of 12 high-risk (HR) HPV types. Quality controls for sample adequacy, efficiency of nucleic ...
Genomic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants using sentinel SARI hospital surveillance.
proportions and types were compared to those that were circulating between 2021 and 2022, using 96,251 sequences of the BGS. RESULTS: SARI surveillance allowed timely detection of the Omicron (BA.1, BA.2, BA.4, ...
Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
metrics at different lag times were used to predict incident COVID-19 cases. Model selection was based on AIC c minimization. Results: In 3¾0 WWTP s, RNA levels were best explained by incident cases, flow ...
Data collection in pandemic times: the case of the Belgian COVID-19 health surveys
COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the pandemic challenged classical survey methods. Time and budgetary constraints at the beginning of the pandemic led to ad hoc recruitment of participants and easily manageable data ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
s). Almost all programmes analysed samples in-country, with an average processing time of 2·3 days in HIC s and 4·5 days in LMIC s. Whereas 59% of HIC s regularly monitored wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 ...
A new data collection system for Epilabo: the network of sentinel laboratories
Background The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of having a robust, digital system for timely data collection of laboratory test results at the national level in the context of surveillance of ...
