Engineering of Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a broad-spectrum animal vaccine (MycoSynVac)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2015, Date de fin: 31 mars 2020,
Mycoplasmas are the smallest cell wall less, free-living microorganisms. The lack of a cell wall makes them resistant to many of the common antibiotics. Every year, infections caused by Mycoplasmas in poultry, cows, and pigs, result in multimillion euros losses in USA and Europe. Currently, there are vaccines against M hyopneumoniae in pigs and M gallisepticum and M synoviae in poultry. However, t ...

A systematic analysis of parasite metabolism - from metabolism to intervention (ParaMet)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
Parasites exact a devastating toll on health and economic productivity, infecting man and also domestic livestock. Drugs used to combat parasitic diseases are deficient in many ways and new, better drugs are needed to establish sustainable means to combat diseases caused by protozoan parasites that include malaria, trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis in man, and coccidiosis among others in animals. ...

Sustainable Approaches to Reduce Oomycete (Saprolegnia) Infections in Aquaculture (SAPRO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
The oomycete family contains some of the world’s most destructive fish pathogens. In Europe alone, these microorganisms collectively account for multimillion-Euro losses annually in the fish farming industry. Saprolegnia parasitica in particular is a major problem in the aquaculture industry where it has been estimated that 10% of all hatched salmon and eggs succumb to Saprolegniosis. Until 2002, ...

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 ...

"Development of Vaccines for bTV, EHDV and AHSV" (ORBIVAC)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
"The major outstanding challenges of orbivirus vaccine research is to develop vaccines that can afford a broad protective immune response against as many serotypes of each virus as possible, and to develop a high throughput DIVA assay (e.g. an ELISA). This project will use a coordinated multipartner approach to address these issues, to develop new experimental prototype vaccines and diagnostic app ...

A Clostridal Biology Network to Facilitate European-wide Medical Countermeasures and Commercial Exploitation (CLOSTNET)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
"There is an urgent need to better understand the basic biology of Clostridium as a prerequisite for both countering the diseases they cause (C.difficile, C.perfringens and C.botulinum), and exploiting their beneficial properties in industry (biofuels by C.acetobutylicum) and medicine (cancer therapy by C.sporogenes). Attainment of this goal is being impeded because: (i) European research efforts ...
