NASAL VACCINATION AGAINST RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN YOUNG CHILDREN (CHILD-INNOVAC)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"Respiratory infections are the most frequent cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many respiratory pathogens no vaccine is available, for others classical immunisations remain insufficiently effective. This project concerns the development of novel, nasal vaccines against two major respiratory pathogens, B. pertussis and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). No vaccine is yet av ...

Preventing community and nosocomial spread and infection with MRSA ST 398 - instruments for accelerated control and integrated risk management of antimicrobial resistance (PILGRIM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are of increasing concern both as community- and hospital-acquired pathogens. Since 2005, a specific clone, MRSA ST398 is spreading both in livestock populations and occupationally-exposed people resulting in human infection and disease in several EU Member States. The key objective of the PILGRIM project is to provide a range of novel control m ...

Integrated Monitoring and Control of Foodborne Viruses in European Food Supply Chains (VITAL)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
"The concept of VITAL is the integrated monitoring and control of contamination of the European food supply chain by pathogenic viruses. VITAL will use advanced methods for virus detection throughout selected food supply chains from farm to market, to gather data on virus contamination of food and environmental sources suitable for quantitative viral risk assessment. Supply chains will be monitore ...

Modelling the spread of pandemic influenza and strategies for its containment and mitigation (FLUMODCONT)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,
The public heath threat posed by novel strains of influenza A gaining transmissibility in people and causing a human pandemic has been recognised as potentially catastrophic, especially since the emergence and global spread of the highly pathogenic avian H5N1 virus. Several mathematical models have been developed to evaluate patterns of spatio-temporal spread of infection, and the effectiveness of ...

Health system analysis to support capacity development to respond to pandemic influenza in Asia (AsiaFluCap)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,
Operational planning to implement strategic pandemic influenza plans remains a major challenge. This project will help ensure resources are deployed effectively and efficiently in countries in Asia in the event of a pandemic. To date, an important challenge has been that there is no universally accepted, organised method for evaluating preparedness. This research proposal builds upon and extend ...
