Susceptibility of Mammals to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza: A Qualitative Risk Assessment From the Belgian Perspective.
to have frequent direct or indirect close contacts with infected (dead) birds, such as wild felids, wild mustelids, foxes and wild marine carnivore mammals. For some mammal species, the uncertainty ...
Attributing Ethiopian animal health losses to high-level causes using expert elicitation
class, and production system. Three-point questions were used to inform beta-pert distributions and capture uncertainty in estimates. Individual expert estimates were aggregated by quantile mean to produce ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
data gaps and uncertainties to accommodate. Thisreview identifies existing brucellosis burden of disease studies and analyzes their methodological choices, assumptions, and uncertainties. It supports the ...
Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
attempt to perform a cumulative health risk assessment for both toxins was done. Although a high number of uncertainties is involved, combined margin of exposure (MoET) values indicated a potential health ...
Welfare-Adjusted Life Years (WALY): A novel metric of animal welfare that combines the impacts of impaired welfare and abbreviated lifespan.
adverse impact on dogs with WALY s at 2.83 (95% UI: 1.54-3.94) and 9.73 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 7.17-11.8), respectively. This study developed the WALY metric and demonstrated that it summarises ...
Improved Metrological Traceability of Particle Size Values Measured with Line-Start Incremental Centrifugal Liquid Sedimentation.
certified Stokes diameter and density value must come with a realistic measurement uncertainty and with a traceability statement. As is the case for several other techniques, the calibrants do not always come ...
Validation of a particle tracking analysis method for the size determination of nano- and microparticles.
recommendations proposed by EURACHEM. A model for measurement uncertainty estimation following the principles described in ISO / IEC Guide 98-3 was used for quantifying random and systematic variations. For nominal ...
The Assessment of African Swine Fever Virus Risk to Belgium Early 2014, using the Quick and Semiquantitative Pandora Screening Protocol.
posed by ASF to Belgium early 2014. A set of integrated risk scores was calculated within the Pandora framework. Experts scored the questions and uncertainty levels in the Pandora modules individually, ...
The use of serosurveys following emergency vaccination, to recover the status of "foot-and-mouth disease free where vaccination is not practised".
different seropositive findings. This derives largely from uncertainty over the extent of localised pockets of virus infection that may remain within vaccinated populations and the circumstances that permit ...
Vers un monitoring des facteurs de risque d'émergence des maladies animales?
diseases pose significant threats to animal and public health. It appears impossible to predict the next emerging animal disease with an acceptable degree of uncertainty. Emerging animal diseases are driven ...
