Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
have surged by nearly 65%, spanning 142 countries, posing significant threats to the health and well-being of unsuspecting individuals worldwide [100]. While substandard and falsified life-saving ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
have always been analyzed and characterized after isolation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has been possible to characterize the complete genome of these isolates to the SNP level. ...
CHROMATOGRAPHIC FINGERPRINT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS IN PLANT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
the reason for the shift towards easily procurable herbal supplements. Herbal supplements have seen an increas-ing demand in the western countries and are associated to be synonymous with ‘safe’. ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
Modern sequencing technologies generate large volumes of data, for which public health laboratories often do not have the necessary infrastructure nor expertise to analyse. Additionally, most laboratories ...
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 ...
Social integration of people with severe mental illness: A challenge for health care systems and policies
2000s, many countries have developed interventions that specifically targeted it. Despite major reforms in mental health care and the implementation of such interventions, their social integration has, ...
