Emerging viral vector borne diseases (VMERGE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The project intends to address the risk of emerging viral vector borne diseases in two main categories of arthropods known to transmit important animal and zoonotic diseases: mosquitoes (Aedes and Culex), and Culicoides biting midges. A research proposal targeting potential emerging viral disease risks related to these vectors will be carried out through original and integrated multidisciplinary a ...

Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe (EDENext)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
To address the call for proposals 'Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe' launched by the European Commission, we want to investigate the biological, ecological and epidemiological components of vector-borne diseases (VBD) introduction, emergence and spread, and to propose innovative tools for controlling them, building on the basis of acquired knowledge. We have selected the ma ...

Campylobacter control - novel approaches in primary poultry production (CAMCON)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
CamCon aims to improve the control of Campylobacter in primary poultry production in various parts of Europe and thereby enable the production of “low-risk broilers”. The project places great emphasis on ensuring rapid and effective dissemination of scientific achievements to end-users, in particular the EU poultry industry. The consortium consists of 10 participants from seven countries represent ...

New tools and approaches to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in the EU and Asia (PoRRSCon)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the major cause of reproductive and respiratory problems in pigs worldwide. Controlling this disease is a top priority in pig producing countries. Due to mutations at a high frequency, new variants of the virus appear that are no longer effectively controlled by the commercial vaccines. In addition, highly virulent variants emerge, lea ...

The Network of Animal Disease Infectiology Research Facilities (NADIR)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Europe possesses several experiment facilities holding the level 3 of bio safety, which is required to study the large majority of zoonoses, emerging diseases and a number of other animal infectious diseases. Most of them are nevertheless loosely connected, leading to redundancy. NAIF has as its strategic aim to realise the potential European leadership in animal infectiology by bringing together ...
