Guidance on estimation of wild boar population abundance and density: methods, challenges, possibilities

The aim of this guidance is to assess the accuracy and reliability of the methods for estimation of density (i.e. population size per area unit) and relative abundance (i.e. relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem, a kind of proxy o ...

Final report of ENGAGE ‐ Establishing Next Generation sequencing Ability for Genomic analysis in Europe

The ENGAGE project (http://www.engage-europe.eu/) was a collaboration between eight institutions across Europe. The aim was to boost the scientific cooperation to use whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis in food safety and public health protection. ENGA ...

Field sampling methods for mosquitoes, sandflies, biting midges and ticks. VectorNet project 2014-2018

ECDC and EFSA have the mandate to assess the risk of infectious diseases affecting public and animal health and strengthen the capacity for their prevention and control in the EU. Vector-borne diseases, as a specific group of a (re-)emerging infections, p ...

In vivo toxicity and genotoxicity of beauvericin and enniatins. Combined approach to study in vivo toxicity and genotoxicity of mycotoxins beauvericin (BEA) and enniatin B (ENNB)

Beauvericin (BEA) and Enniatins (ENN) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium fungi detected in food and feed; there are insufficient data to establish their reference values. To evaluate BEA and ENN oral toxicity, an integrated approach was applied. Among EN ...

Comparative genomics of quinolone‐resistant and susceptible Campylobacter jejuni of poultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)

A total of 502 Campylobacter jejuni isolates from poultry in 12 different European countries (10 of them the largest poultry production countries in Europe) were whole genome sequenced to examine the genomic diversity of fluoroquinolone resistant (FQ‐R) a ...
