Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
refers to the amount and type of microorganisms present in a sample and reflects the level of biological contamination and associated potential health risks upon consumption of the product. We initially ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
microbiological foodborne contaminants to the strain level and with achievement of a relatedness study (phylogeny), with a focus on the applicability of the method in order to be easily implemented in reference ...
Tick-borne diseases in Belgium: The incidence and economic burden of Lyme borreliosis and the occurrence of other tick-borne infections
a syndrome often referred to as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). Although, in Belgium, different surveillance systems have been in place to follow-up LB trends since many years, knowledge gaps ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
these techniques which are usually only fully mastered at National Reference Centers (NRC s). Despite the fact that these techniques are implemented worldwide since more than 80 years, they are not fully ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
Regulation No. 10/2011 and expected migrating compounds, such as anti-oxidants, plasticisers, etc. When a peak was detected, and its reference standard was not available in the lab, a tentative identification ...
Detection and risk evaluation of counterfeit medicines based on physico-chemical properties: the fingerprint and chemometrics approach
commonly referred to as ‘life style drugs’ and comprise PDE-5 Inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and weight loss products. High amounts of counterfeit pharmaceuticals enter the European ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
as a reference test in a ROC curve analysis. Therefore the ELISA cut-off value was re-evaluated by the ROC curve analysis and different scenarios were analysed. Whatever the scenario, the ...
Impact of tobacco control interventions on health expectancies: use of dynamic modelling for health impact assessment in Belgium
in HLY (2.98y/2.35y) and the greatest reduction in ULY (-0.76y/-1.63y). Every simulated scenario reported an increase in HLY and a decrease in ULY when compared to the reference scenario, only the ...
The ageing population: in-vivo study on the effect of age on cardiovascular physiology

discrepancies in the overall course of the distensibility. Conclusion: These results show that age-based relations and reference values to assess arterial stiffness do have their merit and should be included when ...
Exploring the added value of Whole Genome Sequencing in routine and pandemic viral surveillance
applications have remained unexploited in the context of routine surveillance, which is the core business of national reference centres and public health institutes such as Sciensano. The virus surveillance aims ...
