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 ...

Training of the One Health Next Scientific Generation in the Sahel and Maghreb (OH-NEXTGEN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Humans and animals living in poor communities in the developing world often suffer from health problems arising from neglected zoonoses. Control options for these diseases are perceived as either too expensive or to be beyond the mandate of either the human or animal health systems. There is evidence that zoonoses in humans can be suppressed or even eliminated through interventions in animals. Mor ...

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 ...

ADVANZ - Advocacy for the fight against Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (ADVANZ)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"The aim of ADVANZ (Advocacy for Neglected Zoonotic Diseases) is to persuade decision makers and empower stakeholders at local, regional, and international levels towards a coordinated fight against neglected zoonotic diseases (NZD), first and foremost in Africa, where the burden from NZD are heaviest. If the battle against NZD is going to be won, a major part of the initiative must come through a ...

Integrated control of neglected zoonoses: improving human health and animal production through scientific innovation and public engagement (ICONZ)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"This project aims at Improving Human Health and Animal Production in developing countries through Integrated Control of Neglected Zoonoses in animals, based on Scientific Innovation and Public Engagement. Neglected zoonoses, such as anthrax, rabies, brucellosis, bovine TB, zoonotic trypanosomiasis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis and leishmaniasis, are major causes of ill-health in developing coun ...

Innovative and sustainable strategies to mitigate the impact of global change on helminth infections in ruminants (GLOWORM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Infections with parasitic worms (nematodes and trematodes) represent a significant economic and welfare burden to the European ruminant livestock industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are costly and unsustainable in the long term. Recent changes in the epidemiology, seasonality and geographic distribution of helminth infections have b ...
