Imported viral haemorrhagic fever with a potential for person-to-person transmission: review and recommendations for initial management of a suspected case in Belgium Institute of Tropical Medicine
A rare case of imported Strongyloides fuelleborni infection in a Belgian student Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background:
We report a rare case of imported and asymptomatic Strongyloides fuelleborni infection in a Belgian student, returning from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Strongyloidiasis, one of the most neglected tropical diseases, is estimated to affect more than 100 million people worldwide. The exact number of cases attributable to Strongyloides fuelleborni is not known, as correct identification of this parasite can be difficult. S. ...

First confirmed case of bovine besnoitiosis in an imported bull in Belgium Ghent University
Besnoitia besnoiti is a protozoan parasite known to cause important economic losses in the cattle industry in Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean area. In the last years, (re-) emergence of the parasite has been reported in France, Germany, Hungary and Italy with in some cases, establishment of an endemic infection. In this article, the first case of besnoitiosis in Belgium in a Blonde d'Aquitaine bull imported from the south of France is ...
Ranavirus-associated mass mortality in imported red tailed knobby newts (Tylototriton kweichowensis): A case report Ghent University
Two imported cases of Penicillium marneffei infection in Belgium Institute of Tropical Medicine
Analysis of two imported cases of yellow fever infection from Ivory Coast and The Gambia to Germany and Belgium Institute of Tropical Medicine
Confirmed Zika virus infection in a Belgian traveler returning from Guatemala, and the diagnostic challenges of imported cases into Europe University of Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine
We report the first laboratory-confirmed Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in a Belgian traveler after a three week holiday in Guatemala, December 2015. This case along with other imported cases into Europe emphases once again the need for accurate diagnostic tools for this rapidly emerging virus. The challenge is to diagnose patients in the acute phase, which appears short, as serological testing is complicated by cross-reactivity, vaccination status ...
A multivariate spatio-temporal model for the incidence of imported COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths in Cuba Hasselt University KU Leuven
To monitor the COVID-19 epidemic in Cuba, data on several epidemiological indicators have been collected on a daily basis for each municipality. Studying the spatio-temporal dynamics in these indicators, and how they behave similarly, can help us better understand how COVID-19 spread across Cuba. Therefore, spatio-temporal models can be used to analyze these indicators. Univariate spatio-temporal models have been thoroughly studied, but when ...
