Risk Factors Associated with Severe RSV Infection in Infants: What Is the Role of Viral Co-Infections?
bronchiolitis, but heterogeneity and small sample size in our study prevents us from drawing strong conclusions. RSV is worldwide the leading cause of serious airway infections. Up to 90% of children will be ...
Third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine closes the gap in immune response between naïve nursing home residents and healthy adults.
administration. Historical blood samples from 28 days post second dose were available from 42 residents and 42 staff members. Magnitude and quality of humoral and cellular immune responses were strongly boosted in ...
Combined Phylogeographic Analyses and Epidemiologic Contact Tracing to Characterize Atypically Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H3N1) Epidemic, Belgium, 2019.
strongly correlated with the phylogeographic pattern of the epidemic. We detected only a limited association between wind direction and direction of viral lineage dispersal. Our results highlight the ...
Attributing long-term changes in airborne birch and grass pollen concentrations to climate change and vegetation dynamics
trends in pollen and climate change are derived. Our findings show that during the period 1982–2019 a strong increase in birch pollen concentrations is associated with increasing radiation, decreasing ...
Duration of Immunity Induced after Vaccination of Cattle with a Live Attenuated or Inactivated Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Vaccine
6, 12 and 18 months for LSDV LAV or after 6 and 12 months for the LSDV Inac. The LSDV LAV elicited a strong immune response and protection for up to 18 months, as no clinical signs or viremia could be ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI). A positive temperature bias with a strong relation to the incoming solar radiation was found between the CWS data and the official data. The QC ...
The CIVISANO protocol: a mixed-method study about the role of objective and perceived environmental factors on physical activity and eating behavior among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults
Socioeconomic status Abstract: Background Overweight and obesity have a strong socioeconomic profile. Unhealthy behaviors like insufficient physical activity and an unbalanced diet, which are causal factors of ...
Estimating national and subnational nutrient intake distributions of global diets
generally higher for females than males. We found that the shape of usual intake distributions strongly affects estimates of the prevalence of inadequate intakes. CONCLUSIONS: The shape of nutrient intake ...
Providing Measurement, Evaluation, Accountability, and Leadership Support (MEALS) for Non-communicable Diseases Prevention in Ghana: Project Protocol
interventions with strong potential to improve food environments of Ghanaian children, the MEALS4NCD s protocol has innovatively integrated a local community participatory approach based on the community ...
Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.
strongly associated with cases of human infection. All isolates contained intact genes associated with invasion and infection while hypervirulent isolates are adapted to host environment, possessing genes ...
