European Research Infrastructures for Poverty Related Diseases (EURIPRED)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria alone account for more than six million deaths worldwide every year. Despite substantial efforts made in recent years, Poverty Related Diseases are still spreading. New therapeutic interventions are therefore urgently required to combat Poverty Related Diseases. The existence of a well-developed HIV/TB/Malaria infrastructure presents a prime opportunity to a ...

Development of a low-cost point-of-care test for Tuberculosis detection (Pocket)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

Pocket will develop a novel point-of-care (PoC) urine test for the detection of tuberculosis (TB), achieving at the same time a low cost (5 to 10 euro end-user cost per test, including depreciation cost of the instrument) and a high accuracy (>80% capture of TB-positive patients, which is much better than the present solutions which reach 60%). The test positions itself between current low-end imm ...

"With the advent of Omics technologies capable of profiling substantial fractions of molecular entities from the genome down to the metabolome level a significant boost in understanding disease pathophysiology, consequently providing tailored diagnostics and therapy, was expected. With impressive results for selected diseases, cancer still sees significant shortcomings. One reason for this clinica ...

Molecular techniques such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are becoming increasingly used for the detection of respiratory pathogens, due to their high accuracy and relatively fast turnaround time (hours). Their utilization can result in early and specific treatment, contribute to better patient outcomes and reduce length of hospital stay. However, implementation of rapid molecular diagnostics r ...

Tuberculosis (TB) in humans and bovine TB in farm animals are global health problems of immense social and economic importance.Human TB: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is a slowly replicating bacillus that resides intracellularly within phagosomes of macrophages and commonly causes latent infections of the lung and in about 5% of the infected individuals it leads to active disease. Co-infecti ...

Systems biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (SYSTEMTB)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global health threat caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). One third of the world's population is infected with Mtb and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. Despite global research efforts, mechanisms underlying pathogenesis, virulence and persistence of Mtb infection remain poorly understood. Simple reductionist approaches are insufficient to ...

"Early detection of HIV-1 using ultra-sensitive, rapid capacitive biosensor" (CAPHIV)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,

"The HIV pandemic continues to be a worldwide public-health problem. The virus, which is spread through sexual contact, exposure to infected blood, or through shared syringes, is highly infective, rapidly mutates, and has no cure. Because there is no effective vaccine or other prophylaxis available, the current best practice and standard of care for those infected is an early, accurate diagnosis ...

European Network of Vaccine Development and Research (TRANSVAC)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,

"The TRANSVAC infrastructure will accelerate the pharmaceutical and clinical development of promising vaccine candidates by bringing the gap between academic research and clinical trials through carefully managing the advancement of promising vaccine candidates from preclinical animal models to early proof-of-principle studies in humans. Although expertise already exists within Europe spanning dif ...

Buruli ulcer disease (BUD), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a neglected bacterial infection of the poor in remote rural areas, mostly affecting children. BUD, the third most common mycobacterial disease in immunocompetent humans after tuberculosis and leprosy, is most endemic in West Africa, but cases have been reported from more than 30 countries. BUD is a mutilating disease leading to sever ...

Novel strategies for the prevention and control of persistent infections (NOPERSIST)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,

"Persistent infections such as HIV, tuberculosis´(TB) in humans and para-tuberculosis (ParaTB)-, mycoplasma- and Haemophilus-infections in farm animals are global health problems of immense social and economic importance . HIV-1 affects about 40 million people and M. tuberculosis infection is even higher world-wide. Co-infection with M. tuberculosis is estimated in about one-third of HIV-1 infecte ...

"An ambitious long-term programme of multidisciplinary research with two closely linked objectives is proposed to support antimicrobial drug development. Firstly, to advance understanding, at the molecular level, of fundamental and important aspects of the biology of Gram-negative bacteria using the important pathogen model Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Secondly, and most important, to exploit our disco ...

"Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading public health problem. About half of the 10% of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected individuals develop overt clinical disease, do so within two years of primary infection. The remaining half of the TB patients, develop clinical disease later, owing to “reactivation” of pulmonary TB. Of importance, it is not understood why only 10% infected individuals develop activ ...

 TERMINÉ 
Tuberculosis (TB) continues being a leading cause of death due to a single infectious disease agent. The HIV/AIDS pandemic and the emergence of drug resistance are compounding factors that hinder the control of the disease. Associated with this problem is the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, defined as strains resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampi ...
