Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

European Organic Aquaculture - Science-based recommendations for further development of the EU regulatory framework and to underpin future growth in the sector (OrAqua)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The overall vision of the OrAqua project is the economic growth of the organic aquaculture sector in Europe, supported by science based regulations in line with the organic principles and consumer confidence. OrAqua will suggest improvements for the current EU regulatory framework for organic aquaculture based on i) a review of the relevant available scientific knowledge, ii) a review of organic a ...

Preparedness, Prediction and Prevention of Emerging Zoonotic Viruses with Pandemic Potential using Multidisciplinary Approaches (PREDEMICS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The capacity of zoonotic RNA viruses to emerge as major agents of human disease can appear limitless. Current intervention strategies have demonstrated limited success. Rapid, innovative and effective solutions are needed to reduce the apparently accelerating process of zoonotic disease emergence. We will study the following zoonotic viruses with epidemic potential in Europe: influenza virus, hepa ...

Pathogenesis and transmission of influenza virus in pigs (FLUPIG)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"FLUPIG aims at a better understanding of the role of pigs in influenza pandemics. Pandemic influenza viruses come from wild birds, but they must adapt to efficient replication and transmission in humans to cause a pandemic. Pigs are considered important intermediate hosts in which avian viruses adapt to mammals before they transmit to humans. However, the exact role of pigs is unclear, as is the ...

Eradicate Invasive Louisiana Red Swamp and Preserve Native White Clawed Crayfish in Friuli Venezia Giulia - RARITY (RARITY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Background Friuli-Venezia Giulia is an Italian region with numerous perennial surface streams and natural lakes. These freshwater habitats host an extremely rich and diversified fauna, including the native white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) – the country’s most widespread, indigenous crayfish species. The Friuli-Venezia Giulia stock of ...

European West Nile collaborative research project (EuroWestNile)

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

West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most evident examples of emerging/re-emerging pathogens one can nominate, which is characterized by occasional virulent epizootic outbreaks. Despite intensive research done since its first appearance in the Americas in 1999, many aspects of its molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis and life cycle are still poorly understood. Being a generalist p ...

European Surveillance Network for Influenza in Pigs 3 (ESNIP 3)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"This “European surveillance network for influenza in pigs (ESNIP) 3” will maintain and expand surveillance networks established during previous EC concerted actions (ESNIP 1, QLK2-CT-2000-01636; ESNIP 2, SSPE-022749). Three work packages (WP 2, 3, 4) aim to increase the knowledge of the epidemiology and evolution of swine influenza (SI) virus (SIV) in European pigs through organised field surveil ...
