Positive Association Between Limbic Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Availability and Novelty-Seeking Temperament in Humans Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Heritable temperament traits have been linked to several neuropsychiatric illnesses, including disorders associated with metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and dopaminergic dysfunctions. Considering its modulating effect on neurotransmission, we hypothesized that cerebral mGluR5 availability is associated with temperament traits in healthy humans.
METHODS: Forty-four nonsmoking healthy volunteers (mean age ± SD, 40 ± 14 y; age ...

Timing of influenza A(H5N1) in poultry and humans and seasonal influenza activity worldwide, 2004-2013 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Co-circulation of influenza A(H5N1) and seasonal influenza viruses among humans and animals could lead to co-infections, reassortment, and emergence of novel viruses with pandemic potential. We assessed the timing of subtype H5N1 outbreaks among poultry, human H5N1 cases, and human seasonal influenza in 8 countries that reported 97% of all human H5N1 cases and 90% of all poultry H5N1 outbreaks. In these countries, most outbreaks among poultry ...

Low seroprevalence of Brucellosis in humans and small ruminants in the Gambia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis with significant impact on rural livelihoods and a potentially underestimated contributor to febrile illnesses. The aim of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of brucellosis in humans and small ruminants in The Gambia.
METHODS: The study was carried out in rural and urban areas. In 12 rural villages in Kiang West district, sera were collected from humans (n = 599) and small ...
