Objetivo
DIPNET aims to integrate current knowledge on the transfer of pathogens between wild and cultured aquatic animal populations. The project will provide health specialists and other stakeholders with a forum for debate, reinforcing efficient communication and developing science based consensus. It addresses key issues needed to ensure sustainability and responsible exploitation of aquatic environments. A consortium of 5 participants will form the co-ordinating team to facilitate the establishment and operation of the project, decide on the organisation of scientific workshops and efficient management of the project funds. A project web site will be established early in the work program to disseminate information about the project, its objectives, progress and outputs. Already 12 institutions are engaged in this proposal and additional participants will be encouraged. The lead participant for work packages 1 to 3 will invite a target group of experts to take part in electronic discussion forums and scientific workshops (funded by the project) on relevant issues in support of EU policies identified in the task 4 description of the call for proposals. The projectâ??s specific tasks will focus on (i) a review of disease interactions and pathogen exchanges, (ii) risk assessment and modelling of pathogen exchanges, (iii) epidemiology and surveillance of infectious diseases in fish and shellfish, and (iv) network building and knowledge dissemination. Findings and recommendations will be disseminated to all stakeholders via the project web site and will also be collated into reports to the European Commission. In addition to enhancing exchange of knowledge and scientific opinion in the area of aquatic animal health, the project will provide the European Commission with recommendations for fish health management and regulation based on sound scientific advice and future research priorities.
