10 years of organizing L. monocytogenes enumeration proficiency testing in food matrices at the Belgian national reference laboratory.
distinguish both species. Performance of the participants is expressed using z-score calculated based on the consensus value from participant results. Sensitivity, specificity and the overall performance of the ...
Evaluation of European Pollen Reanalysis
reanalysis is generally unbiased by its design. However, predictions in some individual years and at specific stations could manifest noticeable deviations, offset in other years. As a result, RMSE was mostly ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
long-term assessment of pollen abundance in the air is therefore useful for epidemiological studies, to track the biodiversity and ecosystem evolution, and may also help to estimate the species migration ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
causes of pollen allergy worldwide. Still, the identification of its specific emission sources is a challenging task because of the ubiquitous nature of this pollen type. Previous studies have explored the ...
Metabarcoding and metagenomics techniques in monitoring airborne pollen
Traditionally, pollen concentrations in the air are estimated from analyses based on identification and quantification using optical microscopy. However, the classification of pollen types at the species level ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
ADOPT (CA18226), aims to address this gap by outlining best practices for collecting reference material from controlled cultivation and creating datasets specifically tailored for training algorithms to ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
species in various concentrations and carrying AMR and/or virulence genes, taking the specific need of each application into account. Moreover, the short read and long read approaches are being compared to ...

Food contamination with pyrrolizidine alkaloids: the expected and the unexpected
biosynthesized by a wide variety of plant species (>6000). They are secondary plant metabolites against herbivores and are believed to be one of the most widely spread natural toxins. PA s and PANO s can become ...
