Ecology from Farm to Fork Of microbial drug Resistance and Transmission (EFFORT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
EFFORT studies the complex epidemiology and ecology of antimicrobial resistance and the interactions between bacterial communities, commensals and pathogens in animals, the food chain and the environment.This will be conducted by a combination of epidemiological and ecological studies using newly developed molecular and bio-informatics technologies. EFFORT will include an exposure assessment of hu ...

Emerging viral vector borne diseases (VMERGE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The project intends to address the risk of emerging viral vector borne diseases in two main categories of arthropods known to transmit important animal and zoonotic diseases: mosquitoes (Aedes and Culex), and Culicoides biting midges. A research proposal targeting potential emerging viral disease risks related to these vectors will be carried out through original and integrated multidisciplinary a ...

Control of Campylobacter infection in broiler flocks through two-steps strategy: nutrition and vaccination (CAMPYBRO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
"Campylobacteriosis is the most frequently reported zoonotic illness at the EU in 2011, with 9 million human cases, and a total annual cost of 2.4 billion € per year in the EU27. Poultry meat is the major single source of human infection. Recent studies have shown that European broiler flocks have a high prevalence of Campylobacter colonization with an average of 71%. However, there is still no ef ...

Total Diet Study Exposure (TDSEXPOSURE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Total Diet Studies (TDS) allow getting information on real dietary exposure to food contaminants consumption (heavy metals, mycotoxins, POPs...) and estimating chronic exposure to pesticide residues in food and food additives intake. TDS consider total exposure from whole diets and are based on food contamination as consumed rather than contamination from raw commodities, thus ensuring a realistic ...

Coordination and Collaboration between reference collections of plant pests and diseases for EU Plant Health Policy (Q-COLLECT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
International trade is increasing tremendously in recent years with a lot of import and export material going in and out of the European Union. Within this context there is also the increasing risk of importing unwanted organisms via this trade. Organisms include plant pests and pathogens, some of which may be on the quarantine list of the European Union. Also climate change may increase the abili ...

Preparatory steps towards a GMO research ERA-Net (PreSto GMO ERA-Net)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
The objective of the PreSto GMO ERA-Net project is to clearly map out the steps needed to create and successfully implement an ERA-Net that will coordinate transnational research on the effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the areas of human and animal health, the environment, and techno- economics and societies. The focus of the ERA-Net will be on GMOs intentionally released into t ...
