Improvement of current and development of new vaccines for theileriosis and babesios of small ruminants (PIROVAC)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 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 ...

New tools and approaches to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in the EU and Asia (PoRRSCon)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the major cause of reproductive and respiratory problems in pigs worldwide. Controlling this disease is a top priority in pig producing countries. Due to mutations at a high frequency, new variants of the virus appear that are no longer effectively controlled by the commercial vaccines. In addition, highly virulent variants emerge, lea ...

Estimation of neutral and adaptive/selective genetic variation in farm animal species (NEUTRADAPT)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,
"Genetic variation can be differentiated, within the boundaries of current scientific knowledge, in functional variation and neutral variation. Functional variation includes adaptive and selective genetic variation: these are genetic mutations that play a role in the adaptation of farm animals to their environment (adaptive variation), or that have been under directional selection for traits of ag ...

Next generation methods to preserve farm animal biodiversity by optimizing present and future breeding options (NextGen)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
NEXTGEN proposes the bold step of using whole genome data to develop and optimise conservation genetic management of livestock diversity for the foreseeable future. The rationale for choosing whole genome data is to ‘future-proof’ DNA-based analysis in livestock conservation against upcoming changes in technology and analysis. Thus, in the context of whole genome data availability, our global obje ...

A new generation of fibre-based diagnostic sensors (BiognostiX)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
The BiognostiX project will develop technologies and flexible manufacturing methods for the fabrication of inexpensive biodiagnostic sensors on fibre-based substrates (e.g. paper or card).Fabrication will be based on fluid-jet techniques, allowing the sensor platforms to be reconfigurable (customisable) at the point of manufacture to perform different biodiagnostic test functions including quantit ...

The Network of Animal Disease Infectiology Research Facilities (NADIR)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 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 ...

Interplay of microbiota and gut function in the developing pig – Innovative avenues towards sustainable animal production (INTERPLAY)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
"Low input farming occurs under non-SPF (specific pathogen free) conditions. The European ban on in-feed antibiotics exposes the piglets to a higher microbial environmental pressure. The postnatal priming of piglets with a diverse microbiota may affect the development of the piglet’s host-defense and gut functionality. By reversal, the piglets developing host-defense may affect the development of ...

"Developing European standards for bee pollen and royal jelly: quality, safety and authenticity" (APIFRESH)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"The competitiveness of the European beekeeping sector is progressively falling due to the reduction of beekeepers’ production as a direct consequence of decrease in bee population, implying lower economies of scale, underutilised resources and higher relative production costs. In addition, beekeeping products produced in countries with much lower quality standards, even sometimes adulterated with ...

Macrophage Systems Biology Applied To Disease Control (MacroSys)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,
Cattle-farming is one of the most important agricultural activities in the EU. This project will address issues of the health and welfare of cattle and the safety of cattle products, focussing on diseases that are on the increase in European cattle population and are aware of growing concern elsewhere. Two related diseases will be targeted, bovine tuberculosis (TB) and bovine para-tuberculosis (Pa ...
