Variability in Alternaria alternata spore characteristics under different culture conditions: implications for automatic detection using air flow cytometry
monitors, because of their significant implications for public health and agriculture due to their role as airborne allergen and plant pathogen. These systems require high-quality reference data for training ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
in Europe has been growing during the last several decades. Climate change is directly affecting the main factors driving the airborne pollen levels released by anemophilous plants. A retrospective ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
plant health and requires robust and precise monitoring systems. While a European norm based on the manual volumetric Hirst method exists, there’s a growing interest in technologies allowing automated ...
Airborne DNA: State of the art – Established methods and missing pieces in the molecular genetic detection of airborne microorganisms, viruses and plant particles
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Pogner, C.-E.; Antunes, C.; Apangu, G.P.; Nicolas Bruffaerts; Celenk, S.; Cristofori, A.; González Roldán, N.; Grinn-Gofroń, A.; Lara, B.; M. Lika; Magyar, D.; M. Martinez-Bracero; Muggia, L.; Mu ...
Sentinel-2 Satellite and Hysplit Model Show that Local Cereal Harvesting Substantially Contributes to Peak Alternaria Spore Concentrations
Alternaria is a human/animal allergen and plant/animal pathogen. Cereal harvesting emits a large amount of Alternaria spores into the atmosphere. However, estimating the peak spore periods and source areas ...
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
science Forest mapping respiratory health Species distribution modelling Urban vegetation Abstract: Mapping the distribution of allergenic plants in urbanized landscapes is of high importance to evaluate ...
METROFOOD-RI: Pilot services with physical, remote and virtual access
this model of service provision, three use cases have been defined that are representative of the different types of access that will be provided by METROFOOD- RI: physical access to a food pilot plant ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
area as a whole. Occurrence data were obtained from an open-access presence-only database of validated observations of vascular plants. These occurrence data were combined with environmental covariates ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
observations of vascular plants. These occurrence data were combined with environmental covariates in MaxEnt models. Tree diversity was modelled by adding up the individual species distribution models. Models in ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
was found for more incident cases of thyroid cancer near the two nuclear power plants. Regarding the two industrial and research nuclear sites, no evidence for a higher incidence in the vicinity of ...
