Veterinary Network of Laboratories Researching into Improved Diagnosis and Epidemiology of Mycobacterial Diseases

Cel

Tuberculosis and paratuberculosis of livestock are mycobacterial diseases that represent threat not only to Public Health but also have a high economic impact due to mortalities, condemnations, decreases in weight and fertility and drop of productions. Countries of the European Union are under eradication programs for bovine tuberculosis and/or paratuberculosis. To date, eradication has not been achieved in the EU due to several problems and therefore,tuberculosis and paratuberculosis remain major concerns in livestock production. The most relevant problems (lack of appropriate methods of diagnosis; the role played in the epidemiology of the diseases by other domestic and wild animals; difficulties in the laboratory work with these pathogens; and lack of adequate vaccines that do not interfere with diagnosis) will be addressed in this Co-ordination Action. In addition, application of new systems will be discussed, i.e. use of functional genomics to detect new molecular markers and/or to develop new vaccines. The collaboration between the partners will be structured through a multidisciplinary network made up with 38 partners from 17 countries. The partners have been selected on basis of active researching on mycobacterial infections. The work will focus on seven tasks devoted to specific concerns, and has been divided into 11 work packages grouped into three categories:
1)devoted to dissemination of knowledge to the Community;
2) dedicated to specific harmonizations; and
3) focused on topics that will have a deep impact on the understanding and control of the diseases in a short future. Available tools for partners will be general meetings, workshops (lectures and hands-on training in the laboratory), and exchange of personnel for training purposes. The main approach of this Co-ordination Action is to share technology and expertise in order to both avoid research fragmentation and obtain a common knowledge on mycobacterial diseases #
