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 ...

Protecting the health of Europeans by improving methods for the detection of pathogens in drinking water and water used in food preparation (Aquavalens)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
The AQUAVALENS consortium has brought together SMEs, Industries, Universities and Research Institutes with the mission of protecting the health of European Citizens from contaminated drinking water and water used in food processing. We will achieve this by developing sustainable technologies to enable water system managers whether in large or small water systems or within food growers or manufactu ...

Vaccines against helminth infections (PARAVAC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Livestock production efficiency is impaired by helminth infection which is ubiquitous in cattle, sheep and goats world-wide. It causes severely debilitating gastro-intestinal, respiratory and hepatic disorders, dependent on the infecting species. The treatment and prevention of helminth parasitism in livestock continues to rely almost exclusively on the use of anthelmintic drugs, an approach thre ...

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 ...

The Network of Animal Disease Infectiology Research Facilities (NADIR)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Europe possesses several experiment facilities holding the level 3 of bio safety, which is required to study the large majority of zoonoses, emerging diseases and a number of other animal infectious diseases. Most of them are nevertheless loosely connected, leading to redundancy. NAIF has as its strategic aim to realise the potential European leadership in animal infectiology by bringing together ...

Prevention of zoonotic tissue cyst formation in sheep using live attenuated and parapoxvirus vector based vaccines against Toxoplasma gondii (TOXPOX)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
... need for use of experimental animals. A safe vaccine effective in preventing the formation of zoonotic tissue cysts in sheep is our ultimate goal. The specialized laboratory and animal facilities at Moredun and the host expertise in parasitology, virology and immunology provide the best possible infrastructure and mentoring environment to bring this project to a success. Working on this multidisc ...

High-throughput sequencing to analyse genome variation and evolution in Map strains (MAPSEQ)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
"The project proposed for the IEF concerns Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (Map) which causes Johne’s disease (JD), a chronic gastroenteritis affecting principally ruminants and responsible for significant global economic losses to the livestock and associated industries. Controversially, Map has been associated with Crohn’s disease in humans. The epidemiology of paratuberculosis is poo ...
