Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Vaccine (CCHFVaccine)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2022,

Natural epidemics and outbreaks of emerging viral epidemics are growing problems internationally. The general aim of the CCHFVaccine project is to develop and deliver a vaccine, which can significantly increase our capacity to control the situation of Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease on a global basis. The proposed work program on CCHF virus aims to build a multidisciplinary researc ...

Linking Epidemiology and Laboratory Research on Transboundary Animal Diseases and zoonoses in China and EU (LinkTADs)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The continuous growth of the world population translates into a demand of animal protein that can only be achieved through technological advances in farming, intensification, and expansion of farmed land. These pressures, combined with the increasing international trade of animals and their products, will lead to the rapid spread of animal diseases across borders and the emergence of new pathogen ...

Providing a new generation of methodologies and tools for cost-effective risk-based animal health surveillance systems for the benefit of livestock producers, decision makers and consumers (RISKSUR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The risk of occurrence of exotic, new (emerging), re-emerging as well as endemic diseases has increased substantially, particularly due to globalisation and intensification of animal production. While the need for effective animal health surveillance is widely recognised for the management of such threats, the currently used systems do not take optimal advantage of recent advances in epidemiologic ...

Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever; Modern Approaches to Diagnostics, Surveillance, Prevention, Therapy and Preparedness (CCH Fever)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Over the last years, large outbreaks of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in several European countries and neighbouring areas are on the rise. This disease poses a great threat to public health due to its high mortality rate, modes of transmission and geographical distribution. Climate changes and observation of the CCHFV vector in central Europe alarm the European community as we can ...

Safe Food for Europe – Coordination of research activities and Dissemination of research results of EC funded research on food safety (FOODSEG)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

"The proposed Coordination and support actions (Coordinating, CSA) has the overall objective to disseminate state-of-the-art research results in food safety and quality topics through a series of symposia, expert working group meetings, an online platform with best practise examples and coordination of cooperation and a plan for the preparation of future activities. In addition to the aim of disse ...

Novel Technologies for Surveillance of Emerging and Re-emerging Infections of Wildlife (WILDTECH)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

With the increasing impact of mankind’s activities on the natural environment, disease naturally harboured by wild animals, both within the geographical limits of the EU and elsewhere, are becoming increasingly significant both for public health and health of livestock, in addition to having direct concerns for wild animal species. We are proposing a project which will combine (i) technological de ...

Improve tools and strategies for the prevention and control of classical swine fever (CSFV_goDIVA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Although classical swine fever (CSF) has been eradicated in wide areas within the EU the disease is endemic in some new member states particularly in back yard pigs. In order to improve the eradication strategies the project aims are a) the final development and testing of a live marker vaccine candidate for the prevention and improved control of CSF, both orally and intramuscularly applicable; b) ...

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 ...
