Exposure to lead when manufacturing cookware from scrap metal: A public health threat in the artisanal sector in DR Congo
geometric mean {121.5 μg/L [interquartile range(IQR 79.1-206.5)] and [3.3 μg/g (1.5-7.1)]} were estimated to be about twice as high as the negative control group {[60.2 μg/L (37.2-94.0)] and [0.9 μg/g, ...
Exploring the added value of Whole Genome Sequencing in routine and pandemic viral surveillance
vaccine and antiviral drug susceptibility of these circulating strains. WGS enables tracking viral outbreaks and estimating the virus spread in a given population, how fast the virus is mutating, as well as ...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence estimation in the adult general population in Belgium: a meta-analysis.
burden. METHODS: Recently performed HCV prevalence studies in the general, adult population were included in this study, based on well-defined selection criteria. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate ...
Spotlight influenza: Extending influenza surveillance to detect non-influenza respiratory viruses of public health relevance: analysis of surveillance data, Belgium, 2015 to 2019.
multiplex qPCR for the detection of a flexible panel of viruses in respiratory ILI and SARI samples and the estimated incidence rates of SARI associated with each virus.MethodsWe defined ILI as an illness ...
Transmission and pathogenicity of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among rats.
two strains and to estimate the basic reproduction ratio R0, indicating the level of EMCV transmission. During the experiments, faecal virus excretion was measured as well as the serological response ...
Transmission of encephalomyocarditis virus in pigs estimated from field data in Belgium by means of R0.
encephalomyocarditis-virus (EMCV) has been estimated in experiments, but never using field data. In this field study, a farm in Belgium was selected where the presence of EMCV was confirmed by necropsy and virus isolation. ...
Analysis of foodborne disease in Belgium in 1997.
in targeting their prevention. The incidence of this illness is difficult to estimate. In the Netherlands a yearly incidence of gastrointestinal infections of 500 per 1,000 inhabitants is estimated, of ...
Dietary silver nanoparticles can disturb the gut microbiota in mice.
microbiota in mice at doses relevant for currently estimated human intake. METHODS: Mice were orally exposed to food (pellets) supplemented with increasing doses of Ag NP (0, 46, 460 or 4600 ppb) during 28 d. ...
Performance of five rapid serological tests in mild-diseased subjects using finger prick blood for exposure assessment to SARS-CoV-2.
and positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) were calculated for a range (1-50%) of SARS-CoV-2 prevalence estimates. RESULTS: The OrientGene showed overall acceptable performance, with ...
