Automatic detection of airborne pollen: an overview
traditionally been carried out using manual methods first developed in the early 1950s. Although this technique has been recently standardised, it suffers from several draw-backs, notably data usually only being ...
Development of a Droplet Digital PCR to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant BA.2 in Wastewater Samples
applicability of the proposed RT-ddPCR method was evaluated to monitor and quantify the emergence of the BA.2 variant over time. To validate this assay as a proof of concept, the measurement of the proportion of ...
Development of a taxon-specific real-time PCR method targeting the Bacillus subtilis group to strengthen the control of genetically modified bacteria in fermentation products
and associated DNA) that were carrying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes was noticed in several microbial fermentation products that have been commercialized on the food and feed market. These ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
daily temperature, respectively, with the minimum mortality temperature. For cold, we cumulated the risk over lags of 0 to 28 days before death and 0 to 7 days for heat. We carried out stratified analyses ...
Validity of self-reported air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollutants in Belgium
build prediction models for assessing individual long term exposure to air pollution, removing the need for data on personal residence address. Analyses were carried out based on data from the Belgian ...

Nutritional Content, Labelling and Marketing of Breakfast Cereals on the Belgian Market and Their Reformulation in Anticipation of the Implementation of the Nutri-Score Front-Of-Pack Labelling System.
and sodium (-20%) (= 0.002) and increases in fibre (+3%) (= 0.012) and proteins (+2%) (= 0.002). CONCLUSION: Breakfast cereals on the Belgian market are predominantly unhealthy and frequently carry ...
Adjusting for comorbidity in incidence-based DALY calculations: an individual-based modeling approach
calculations are carried out for each condition separately, multimorbidity may lead to an overestimation of the morbidity component, the Years Lived with Disability (YLD). Adjusting for comorbidity may be ...
Effect of residual doxycycline concentrations on resistance selection and transfer in porcine commensal escherichia coli.
showed that a 3% carry-over level of doxycycline (DOX) in the feed results in porcine faecal concentrations of approximately 4 mg/L. This study aimed to determine the effect of residual DOX concentrations ...
