The landscape of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a mapping systematic review
IQR: 45.2] of analyzed malaria parasites. The proportion of parasites carrying this mutation decreased overtime, but wide geographic variations persisted. A single isolate had encoded the PfK13 R561H ...
Monitoring HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis programmes in the EU/EEA
of the regional progress of PrEP roll-out and its impact on the HIV epidemic. Mindful of the substantial variations in health systems and epidemiological contexts between EU / EEA countries, this ...
Movements of free-range pigs in rural communities in Zambia: an explorative study towards future ring interventions for the control of Taenia solium
final analysis set ranged between 43 and 94 h. Pigs spent a median of 31% and 13% of the tracked time outside the 50- and 100-m radius, respectively, although large variations were observed between pigs. ...
Development and validation of a microfluidic multiplex immunoassay for the determination of levels and avidity of serum antibodies to tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis antigens.
microfluidic channels of the assay cartridges of the system. The developed assay showed very good sensitivity, specificity, and intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV s for the different antigens ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
approach and Illumina sequencing. As anticipated, higher variation and lower sensitivity were observed at lower coverages and allelic frequencies. We found that detection of all low-frequency variants at an ...
Pre-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among staff and residents of nursing homes in Flanders (Belgium) in fall 2020
study shows that NH are more affected by SARS-CoV-2 than the general population. The large variation between NH, suggests that some risk factors for the spread among residents and staff may be related to ...
New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
were created using parameter variation and manual verification of (non-) alerting structures. To this extent, the original set of 718 compounds was split into a training (80 %) and a test (20 %) set. SAR ...
