EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
according to a coherent framework. To tackle this objective, the disease burden attributable to environmental stressors is estimated using comparative risk assessment (CRA). As this method determines the ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
cyanotoxins in food, drinking and recreational water are available in Belgium. Among the main reasons for this data shortage is a lack of publicly sourced, reliable methods to analyze cyanotoxins in food and ...

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 ...
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
must be able to isolate pure high molecular weight (HMW) DNA from complex metagenomics samples, without introducing any bias. New methods released on the market, and protocols developed at the research ...
