Genetic and environmental factors of insulin resistance syndrome and its long-term complications in immigrant Mediterranean populations (MEDIGENE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

MEDIGENE project will study genetic and environmental (G x E) determinants of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in recent immigrants in Europe by a novel approach integrating ancestry of Mediterranean populations in epidemiology, locus refining and Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS). West Mediterranean shores are place of pre-historical termini of population expansion from Southern Europe and Nort ...

Establishment of a platform and a Tunisian-Italian network for surveillance of emerging diseases transmitted by ticks and Culicidae (mosquitoes) (RESTUS)

Start date: Dec 23, 2013, End date: Jun 23, 2015,

The project aims to strengthen and improve the control of diseases transmitted by zoonotic vectors (MTVZ) emerging due to bacteria transmitted by ticks or fleas, and viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. This monitoring system requires the creation of a cross-border network for the epidemiological surveillance, which, thanks to a database, will monitor the evolution of this type of MTVZ and will allo ...

"Spontaneous clearance in Patients acutely infected with HCV - Immune profiling, Novel biomarkers and X-omics approaches" (SPHINX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

... HCV. Herein, we propose to build on this program for biochemical, immunologic and gene polymorphism assessment of patients with an enriched Consortium of European, Egyptian and Tunisian academic institutions and one European SME. Our multi-national, inter-disciplinary Consortium is in a strong position to establish an in-depth understanding of spontaneous viral clearance and provide needed inform ...

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

...s host. Such region-specific host-pathogen equilibrium argues for a TB control at a regional level. The overall objective of the present proposal consists in establishing a network connecting leading institutions in the field from the three North African countries (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) and Europe. The aim is to upgrade the research and surveillance capacity potential of these Europe’s mo ...

"PRe-clinicAl studies of a PSA-based human vaccine candidate targeting visceral, cutaneOus and mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis and Development of the associated procedures for further clinical trials" (RAPSODI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The global aim of RAPSODI is : · to develop a human vaccine candidate against most or all Leishmania species that cause the most severe leishmaniasis in the world. An unique vaccinal solution will thus be provided to protect against the various clinical phenotypes (namely visceral, cutaneous and mucocutaneaous leishmaniasis, VL, CL and ML respectively). · to establish all the associated procedure ...

Development of a DNA vaccine for visceral leishmaniasis (LEISHDNAVAX)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"This project will focus on the preclinical development of a DNA vaccine for human visceral leishmaniasis. The project is based upon the DNA vaccine technology and immunomodulators developed at Mologen AG (Berlin, Germany), which are in clinical development for cancer and 3-5 known antigens that already have demonstrated profiles of protection in animal models of leishmaniasis. Antigens will be se ...

Targeting the Leishmania kinome for the development of novel anti-parasitic strategies (LEISHDRUG)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by the protozoan parasites Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum and is a potentially fatal disease in endemic areas around the world. During the infectious cycle, Leishmania alternate between the insect promastigote stage and the vertebrate aflagellate amastigote stage that proliferates inside infected host macrophages provoking the pathology of the disease ...

Vector Control for Visceral and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (VCVCL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) & cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are parasitic diseases transmitted to humans by the bite of infected insects (sand flies). VL is fatal if not treated and CL may cause facial disfigurement both are more likely to affect children under 15 years old in European as well as S. Mediterranean countries. Precise figures are not available but reports suggest that between 36,000 ...

Systematic functional analysis of intracellular parasitism as a model of genomes conflict (SYSCO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2007, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

The research program is a multidisciplinary functional genomics approach to study fundamental biological processes relevant to human health and to develop bioinformatics tools in systems biology. It will decipher the complex regulatory networks that control basic cellular processes in the context of intracellular pathogen infection as a paradigm of host/pathogen genomes conflict.This project will ...
