Water borne adhesives for tire cords.

Parasitic food-borne and water-borne zoonoses.

Estimates suggest that almost half of the population of the world is affected by water-borne and food-borne infections. Parasitic food-borne and water-borne zoonoses contribute to this statistic by inflicting a heavy toll on human health and causing serious direct and indirect losses to the agricultural industry. The inability of non-industrialised countries to keep pace with population growth,...

Molecular identification of food-borne and water-borne protozoa.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia can be transmitted to humans by contaminated food and water, resulting in large outbreaks of diarrheal disease. Sensitive methods for detecting these parasites are needed to control and prevent infection. However, this issue is complicated by the fact that there is still uncertainty about the role played by different species/genotypes with respect to human disease. W...

Microbial diagnostic microarray for food‐ and water‐borne pathogens

A microbial diagnostic microarray for the detection of the most relevant bacterial food- and water-borne pathogens and indicator organisms was developed and thoroughly validated. The microarray platform based on sequence-specific end labelling of oligonucleotides and the pyhylogenetically robust gyrB marker gene allowed a highly specific (resolution on genus/species level) and sensitive (0.1% r...
