African Vector Control: New Tools (AvecNet)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

The AvecNet consortium will develop practical solutions to the current limitations of vector control strategies in Africa using a combination of translationally-aware, state of the art science and end user analysis to ensure successful development and uptake of the new and improved approaches to malaria control and elimination. Our carefully balanced, multidisciplinary team of European and Africa ...

Innovative tools and strategies for surveillance and control of dengue (DengueTools)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,

Current surveillance systems and control efforts are clearly insufficient to combat dengue in endemic countries and to prevent spread to previously uninfected areas (including Europe). We will focus on the following aspects of the call: better diagnosis, surveillance, prevention as well as prediction and/or prevention of the spread of Dengue fever to previously uninfected regions (including Europe ...

Syndromic approach to Neglected Infectious Diseases (NID) at primary health care level: an international collaboration on integrated diagnostic-treatment platforms (NIDIAG)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,

Neglected Infectious Diseases (NID) such as trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis receive less than 5% of the global investment for tropical diseases research. Clinical praxis in disease-endemic countries (DEC) is rarely evidence based and does not make use of the latest innovations in diagnostic technology. NID–related research on diagnostics is partic ...

Dissecting the Immunological Interplay between Poverty Related Diseases and Helminth Infections: An African-European Research Initiative (IDEA)

Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Worm infections are receiving increased attention due to: the wide geographic overlap in occurrence between worms and HIV, TB and malaria; the large proportion of individuals (minimal estimates around 25%) co-infected with worms and HIV/TB/ malaria; the potential risk of increasing disease burden; the very limited understanding of the impact by worm infections on HIV-, TB- and malaria-specific imm ...

Clinical development of a Pfs48/45-based malaria transmission blocking vaccine (REDMAL)

Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

Malaria vaccines are needed to reduce the unacceptably high burden of disease and death in particular in the lowest income countries. Malaria vaccines aim at interruption of the life cycle of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum by induced immune responses in the humans. Transmission-blocking vaccines (TBMV) specifically aim at an arrest sexual stage development preventing the generation of infectio ...

Expanded Quality management Using Information Power for Maternal and Newborn Health in Africa (EQUIP)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,

"Maternal and new-born MDGs 4 and 5 will likely not be met in Africa despite the availability of evidence-based, affordable and appropriate technical interventions. Obstacles persist on both the demand side (low utilization) and supply side (low quality and lack of services), across the continuum of care from pregnancy to postnatal care. Priority must now be given to finding the mechanisms to brid ...

Public health impacts in URban environments of Greenhouse gas Emissions reduction strategies (PURGE)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,

"The project will examine the health impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction policies in urban settings in Europe, China and India, using case studies of 3-4 large urban centres and three smaller urban centres. Sets of realistic interventions will be proposed, tailored to local needs, to meet published abatement goals for GHG Emissions for 2020, 2030 and 2050.Mitigation actions will be defined i ...

Assessing the impact of fee exemption on maternal health in West Africa and Morocco: new tools, new knowledge (FEMHealth)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,

There is a growing consensus that maternal health outcomes can only be improved through policies and programmes that combine interventions to address the different causes of ill health and target multiple groups. Such policies and programmes are complex in nature as they involve coordination between different tiers in the health system and multiple actors including communities, health workers and ...

Discovery and preclinical development of new generation tuberculosis vaccines (NEWTBVAC)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,

"With 14.4 million prevalent cases and 1.7 million deaths tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most serious infectious diseases to date. An estimated 2 billion people are believed to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and at risk of developing disease. Multi- and extensively drug resistant strains are increasingly appearing in many parts of the world, including Europe. While with current ...

Genetic and phenotipic characterization of emerging hypervirulent Clostridium difficile: role and regulation of virulence factors (CDI)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2013,

"Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacillus that often resides in the gut of mammals and is the causative agent of the illness C. difficile infection (CDI). The hospital environment and patients undergoing antibiotic treatment provide a discrete ecosystem where C. difficile persists and select virulent clones thrive. CDI is the most frequent cause of infectious diar ...

Genetic Determinants of Disability in Older Women: British Women’s Heart & Health Study (GENDIS)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2013,

"Background: Increased life expectancy and decreased birth rates resulted in more elderly people and in a higher prevalence of chronic diseases and associated disability throughout the EU. However, evidence of genetic variants associated with increased risk of disability and of causal links between underlying diseases and disability is limited.Objectives: To identify women who are at higher risk o ...
