Evaluation of a commercial exogenous internal process control for diagnostic RNA virus metagenomics from different animal clinical samples
Virological Methods, Volume 283 (2020) Keywords: Animals Feces High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing Mengovirus Metagenomics Rna RNA Virus Infections RNA Viruses Swine Swine Diseases Viral Sensitivity and ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
these improvements may be related to tree diversity within green spaces, yet spatially explicit diversity data necessary to investigate such associations are often missing. Here, we evaluate two methods ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
necessary to investigate such associations are often missing. Here, we evaluate two methods to model tree diversity at genus level based on environmental covariates and presence point data. We aimed to ...
Superficial mycoses in Belgium: Burden, costs and antifungal drugs consumption
mycoses in Belgium and to assess trends in associated antifungal consumption. Methods The burden of dermatophytoses (including onychomycosis), as well as skin and genital candidiasis, was estimated using ...
A multiplex oligonucleotide ligation-PCR method for the genoserotyping of common Salmonella using a liquid bead suspension assay
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Mathieu Gand; Wesley Mattheus; Nancy Roosens; Katelijne Dierick; Marchal, Kathleen; Sigrid C.J. De Keersmaecker; Sophie Bertrand Source: Food Microbiology, Volume 87 (2020) Health Topics: Salmon ...
Next-Generation Sequencing: An Eye-Opener for the Surveillance of Antiviral Resistance in Influenza
antivirals can lead to antiviral resistance mutations in the entire influenza genome. Therefore, the methods to detect these mutations should be developed and implemented. In this Opinion, we assess how NGS ...
Potential impact of reduced tobacco use on life and health expectancies in Belgium
Abstract: Objectives We investigated the potential impact of reduced tobacco use scenarios on total life expectancy and health expectancies, i.e., healthy life years and unhealthy life years. Methods Data ...
A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses
early diagnosis, and therefore fast and adequate detection, is needed. To this end, a multiplex reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan method was designed to detect Zika (ZIKV) ...
Detection strategy targeting a chloramphenicol resistance gene from genetically modified bacteria in food and feed products
associated recombinant DNA. Although the use of AMR genes gives rise to public health and environmental concerns regarding their potential acquisitions by pathogens and gut microbiota, no method targeting AMR ...
Residential green space and seasonal distress in a cohort of tree pollen allergy patients
residential green space on distress in the susceptible subpopulation of adults sensitized to tree pollen allergens. Methods In a panel study of 88 tree pollen allergy patients we analyzed self-reported mental ...
