Objective The current Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak has caused more than 5000 deaths within a few months in West Africa (Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia being the most severely affected countries), including numerous healthcare workers. It is now is serious public health crisis of international concern . The numbers of cases are still increasing 11 months after the first case was described (December 2013), by mid November 2014 approximately 15000 individuals have been infected and the epidemic is still not under control The direct effects of this outbreak include disruption of standard medical care, insecurity and social disruption in countries that were already struggling to recover from decades of war. One of the most important key actions to limit and stop the spread of this deadly disease is to identify and isolate the EBOV-infected patients. The diagnosis of Ebola Virus infections has in the past, been performed overwhelmingly in specialist reference laboratories with high-performance molecular, serological and culture methods.In recent years many of these functions have been mobilised into rapid response mobile laboratories, indeed several of these units supported by, European, CDC/USA, Canadian, Chinese and African states have been set up to help in the current outbreak by performing laboratory diagnosis, in collaboration with national centres in West Africa. While this type of response has been effective in helping control past EVD outbreaks in rural parts of Africa, it has not been as effective at controlling the current outbreak which is now spreading in densely populated city and slum areas. Unfortunately, the diagnostic procedures currently used in the mobile laboratories are associated with several problems: i) there are a limited number of diagnostic hubs, ii) performing the diagnostic tests correctly requires specialist training, skill and experience, consequently there a limited numbers of trained staff Fields of science medical and health scienceshealth sciencespublic healthnatural sciencesbiological sciencesmicrobiologyvirologymedical and health scienceshealth sciencesinfectious diseasesRNA virusesebolanatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesproteinsmedical and health sciencesbasic medicineimmunology Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.1. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Health, demographic change and well-being Main Programme H2020-EU.3.1.7. - Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 (IMI2) Topic(s) IMI2-2014-02-05 - Rapid diagnostic tests Call for proposal H2020-JTI-IMI2-2014-02-single-stage See other projects for this call Funding Scheme IMI2-RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator FOLKHALSOMYNDIGHETEN Net EU contribution € 416 666,00 Address NOBELS VAG 18 171 82 Solna Sweden See on map Region Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Activity type Other Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 416 666,00 Participants (17) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE France Net EU contribution € 224 106,00 Address RUE DE TOLBIAC 101 75654 Paris See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 224 106,00 INSTITUT PASTEUR DE DAKAR Senegal Net EU contribution € 216 250,00 Address AVENUE PASTEUR 36 DAKAR Dakar See on map Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 216 250,00 STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Sweden Net EU contribution € 207 000,00 Address UNIVERSITETSVAGEN 10 10691 Stockholm See on map Region Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 207 000,00 CORIS BIOCONCEPT SPRL Belgium Net EU contribution € 318 125,00 Address RUE GUILLAUME FOUQUET 11 5032 GEMBLOUX See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
