Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
shown to be location-specific and differences could largely be explained by the most frequent temperature. So far, in Belgium there is little known regarding the heat-mortality relationship in the ...
Physico-chemical characterisation of the fraction of silver (nano)particles in pristine food additive E174 and in E174-containing confectionery
E174 is a specific concern for the E174 risk assessment. This study characterised the fraction of silver (nano)particles in 10 commercially available pristine E174 food additives and 10 E174-containing ...
Acrylamide in other foods_Determination of acrylamide levels in some food categories and estimation of the exposure for the Belgian population
acrylamide specifically for potato-based foods. Next, the impact of domestic cooking practices of the Belgian population were investigated. Afterwards, the concentration data were combined with the consumption ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
outbreak depends on the rapid and accurate identification of the responsible food source. Conventional methods based on isolation of the pathogen from the food matrix and target-specific real-time polymerase ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction RNA Replicase RNA, Viral Sensitivity and Specificity whole genome sequencing Abstract: The current CO ronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic ...
EFSA guidance on technical requirements for regulated food and feed product applications to establish the presence of small particles including nanoparticles
specific assessment at the nanoscale in conventional materials that do not meet the definition of engineered nanomaterial as set out in the Novel Food Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The guidance outlines ...
Understanding New Psychoactive Substance (NPS) use in Belgium from a health perspective (NPS-Care)
data on the epidemiology of NPS are scarcely- and often partially available. Specific knowledge about the use of new substances and the possible health and social impact on users and society, is minimal. ...
Food Chemistry, Function and AnalysisDNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity CHAPTER 8. GMO Detection and Identification Using Next-generation Sequencing
feasibility in supporting the current genetically modified organism (GMO) routine detection systems for unauthorized GMO. Depending upon the specific samples under investigation, two categories of NGS ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
Typhimurium including its monophasic variant 1,4,[5],12:i:- and S. Virchow. Secondly, molecular markers specific to the targeted serotypes were selected from Salmonella EnteroBase (a database with the MLST ...
Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.
likely linked to specific genomic groups (SNP1 / MLVA B and SNP6 / MLVA C) mostly found in small ruminant strains. Considering the concordance between Belgian and European results, these considerations ...
