- The project aims to characterize the between- and within-host dynamics of viruses in bat populations in the Netherlands in relationship to bat-human interactions.
- The gut microbiome—the community of bacteria and viruses in the intestines—plays a key role in the development of the immune system and in protection against viral infections. At the same time, certain viruses can disrupt both the immune system and the gut microbiome. However, the relationship between viral activity and the gut microbiome, and the role these factors play in ME/CFS, remain poorly…
- In this controlled study the acceptability, utility and feasibility of self-swabbing instead of physician-swabbing will be evaluated.
- Research and the recently revised national guideline indicate that disinfection after cleaning rooms following the admission of people with a viral respiratory infection in healthcare facilities is not necessary. However, some Dutch healthcare facilities still perform disinfection. It remains unclear which de-implementation strategies can support the discontinuation of terminal disinfection in…
- Read more about the research project on immune responses to against microbiota as biomarkers for ME/CFS.
- The use of plastic materials, such as packaging, textiles and rubber tyres, can lead to the release of small plastic particles into the environment, micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs). MNPs have been found in our environment and in our bodies. We still know little about the potential health risks of MNPs.MOMENTUM 2.0 is a follow-up to the 3-year MOMENTUM project to assess the human health…
- This project modelled the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 among different age groups and 3 risk categories according to the official Dutch risk classification. Their projections for the future demonstrated that vaccinating only individuals at high and medium risk for severe disease was insufficient to avoid overwhelming hospitals in a fall wave, and that a substantial vaccination rate in lower…
- Read how is investigated wastewater treatment plant employees and local residents are more likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is characterised by clonal spread. MRSA clones are unequally distributed across the world and different clones are dominant at different times. AimThe MACOTRA project studied the interaction between MRSA, humans and the environment. The researchers used mathematical models to gain a better understanding of MRSA dynamics.ResultsA main predictor of…
