"Multi-drug resistance in malaria under combination therapy: Assessment of specific markers and development of innovative, rapid and simple diagnostics." (MALACTRES)

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

"This project aims to assess specific P. falciparum genetic markers for resistance to artemisinin-based combinations (ACT), and to develop innovative, rapid and simple diagnostics for malaria and these markers. Specific objectives are: • To develop and evaluate in disease endemic countries accurate low-tech molecular diagnostic tests. • To identify alleles of candidate resistance genes associated ...

Next Generation HIV-1 Immunogens inducing broadly reactive Neutralising antibodies (NGIN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"The elicitation of broadly neutralising antibodies (Nab) remains the primary and most challenging goal in HIV-1 vaccine development. Although a few anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies with broadly neutralising capability have been isolated from infected individuals, none of the immunization strategies thus far explored has proven effective in inducing similar antibodies. Objective of this applicatio ...

Theoretical Developments and Empirical Measurement of the External Costs of Pesticides (TEAMPEST)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

Pesticides are defined as chemical substances protecting plants from pathogens, insects, nematodes and weeds. They are used to secure yields, improve quality of food and facilitate harvesting. However, their heavy use in agriculture resulted in pest resistance, ground, surface and water contamination as well as possible health problems on farmers/operators and consumers. Within this context, the o ...

Assessing the multiple Impacts of the Common Agricultural Policies (CAP) on Rural Economies (CAP-IRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

"European rural areas are undergoing major changes, including the impacts of migration, changes in settlement patterns, demographic ageing, changes in the nature of rural-urban interactions, a decreasing role of agriculture in terms of income and employment, and changes in governance systems. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the main expenditure chapter of the EU and is directly affecting t ...
