Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Host and viral Interleukin-10 in fish: evolution of a regulatory cytokine (FISHIL10)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
"Interleukin (IL)-10 is a cytokine that, at least in mammals, plays a central role in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-10 limits inflammation by acting on macrophages and promotes anti-inflammatory responses via T-helper cells. Underlining the regulatory role of IL-10 is the presence of IL-10 homologues in viral genomes (vIL-10).IL-10 has been cloned in several fish species but only recently a vIL ...
