Missed Opportunities in Maternal and Infant Health: reducing maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in the year after childbirth through combined facility- and community-based interventions (MOMI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Improving maternal and newborn health requires innovative approaches that maximise opportunities for impact throughout the continuum of care. In the past decade, maternal health services have largely focused on the management of intrapartum complications and on rationalising the package of antenatal services to include emergency obstetric care provided by skilled birth attendants. These interventi ...

Assessing the impact of fee exemption on maternal health in West Africa and Morocco: new tools, new knowledge (FEMHealth)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

There is a growing consensus that maternal health outcomes can only be improved through policies and programmes that combine interventions to address the different causes of ill health and target multiple groups. Such policies and programmes are complex in nature as they involve coordination between different tiers in the health system and multiple actors including communities, health workers and ...

Research capacity for the implementation of genetic control of mosquitoes (INFRAVEC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Mosquitoes transmit a variety of infectious diseases that cause a tremendous burden to public health. Due to climate changes and to the increase in international trade and tourism the threats posed by mosquitoes are increasingly affecting large parts of Europe, causing understandable concerns among the populations of many Member States. Control methods, mainly based on insecticide usage, are strug ...

Novel staple food-based strategies to improve micronutrient status for better health and development in sub-Saharan Africa (INSTAPA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"Malnutrition, and especially deficiencies of micronutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin A, undermine the progress towards most of the Millennium Development Goals. In view of the serious coverage, compliance and safety concerns of supplementation, this project aims to identify novel staple food-based approaches to improve micronutrient malnutrition for better health and development of women and c ...

Malaria Transmission Blocking by Vaccines, Drugs and Immune Mosquitoes: Efficacy Assessment and Targets (TRANSMALARIABLOC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,

Malaria is a complex disease, dependent on multiple host/parasite/vector interactions. This tripartite system offers numerous opportunities for disease-preventing interventions, but also creates robustness that undercuts ‘magic bullet’ expectations. Our interdisciplinary TransMalariaBloc will approach the challenge of malaria control in the field from this perspective. It utilizes the enormous rec ...

Mitigate and assess risk from volcanic impact on terrain and human activities (MIAVITA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

In EU countries, volcanic risks assessment and management are tackled through scientific knowledge and monitoring, although there is still a need for integration between all risk management components. For international cooperation partner countries (ICPCs), the risk management depends on local situations but is often less favourable. Therefore, following UN International Strategy for Disaster Red ...

Population age structure and age structure modification via Wolbachia in Anopheles gambiae (AnoPopAge)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

One of the most critical factors contributing to the vectorial capacity of malaria vector mosquitoes is the mean age attained by adult females, because after picking up the Plasmodium parasite there is a lengthy incubation period before transmission can occur. A virulent strain of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia called wMelPop reduces adult lifespan in its native Drosophila host, and has rec ...
