"Development of Vaccines for bTV, EHDV and AHSV" (ORBIVAC)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
"The major outstanding challenges of orbivirus vaccine research is to develop vaccines that can afford a broad protective immune response against as many serotypes of each virus as possible, and to develop a high throughput DIVA assay (e.g. an ELISA). This project will use a coordinated multipartner approach to address these issues, to develop new experimental prototype vaccines and diagnostic app ...

Evaluating and controlling the risk of African swine fever in the EU (ASFRISK)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
"African swine fever (ASF) in EU member states is currently confined to Italy (Sardinia), it was recently introduced to Caucasian regions and it is highly prevalent in sub-Saharan African countries. In both the EC and Africa changes in the epidemiology of the disease have recently been observed, related to newly emerging strains of ASFV, emphasising the serious threat this disease represents to th ...

Portable automated test for fast detection and surveillance of influenza (PORTFASTFLU)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
"The PORTFASTFLU’s objective is to develop and validate a rapid diagnostic test for influenza that will be used as point-of-care systems in developed and developing countries. Experts and international bodies agree that the rapid detection of influenza is vital in combating this major threat to human health. Nucleic acid analysis is the most appropriate assay scheme for both early detection and la ...
