Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
Mental health among people with a migration background in Belgium over the past 20 years: how has the situation evolved?
health is highly stigmatized and stereotyped, even more when it comes to migrant and ethnic minority groups (MEM). Belgium, which has a long history of immigration, is a good case study for analysing how ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
The impact of ambient temperature and air pollution on SARS-CoV2 infection and post COVID-19 condition in Belgium (2021–2022)
individuals who later developed PCC compared to those who did not. We investigated if these associations were modified by air pollution. Methods We conducted a bidirectional time-stratified case-crossover study ...

Assessment of information as regards the toxicity of T‐2 and HT‐2 toxin for ruminants
Reference Point (RP). Adverse effect levels of 0.001 and 0.01 mg T2 /kg bw per day for, respectively, sheep and cows, were derived from case studies, estimated to correspond to feed concentrations of 0.035 ...
CHROMATOGRAPHIC FINGERPRINT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS IN PLANT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
However, the latter is not always the case. The said supplements can be adulterated or fraudulent by ex-changed, which can lead to adverse effects or toxicity in the consumer. Tribulus terrestris (TT), ...
Relative response factors and multiple regression models in liquid chromatography to quantify low-dosed components using alternative standards-proof of concept: total Δ9-THC content in cannabis flowers using CBD as reference.
was used as a case study. A chromatographic method was implemented and validated, and the use of classical calibration lines, classical RRF, and the LRRFM was applied and compared, with special focus on ...
