PARAGONE: vaccines for animal parasites (Paragone)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
Helminth and ectoparasitic infections of ruminants and poultry have a huge impact on the biological efficiency of these vital food sources. Indiscriminate antiparasitic use has led to drug resistance across the globe. The main alternative to the dwindling supply of antiparasitics is vaccines. Here, in the PARAGONE project, findings from previous EU and other-funded projects on parasite vaccine dev ...

Improvement of current and development of new vaccines for theileriosis and babesios of small ruminants (PIROVAC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
The proposal deals with the establishment of control measures for two major tick-borne diseases of small ruminants: theileriosis caused by Theileria lestoquardi and T. uilenbergi and babesiosis caused by Babesia ovis. The research programme aims at improving existing and producing new attenuated vaccines, designing subunit vaccines and capability building. To achieve these goals the proposal will ...

"Development, enhancement and complementation of animal-sparing, foot-and-mouth disease vaccine-based control strategies for free and endemic regions" (FMD-DISCONVAC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the world’s most infectious diseases of livestock and continues to pose a significant threat to endemic and free regions alike. The impact of FMD on society and international trade is high, thereby demanding stringent prevention, surveillance and control plans taken up in crisis preparedness plans. On the other hand, there is a global increased demand for an ...

International network for capacity building for the control of emerging viral vector borne zoonotic diseases (ARBO-ZOONET)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"West Nile Fever (WNF), Rift Valley Fever (RVF) and Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) are arthropod-borne diseases of different domestic and wild animals and can also affect humans, posing a great threat to public health because of their epidemic and zoonotic potential. Their geographical distribution has expanded in recent decades. WNF outbreaks have already occurred in Europe, CCHF is ende ...

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 ...
