Objective
The global objective is to further the development of DNA vaccine against fish pathogens for use by the aquaculture industry.
The specific objectives are:
1. To produce and test many different genes from vibriosis for their protective efficacy within DNA vaccines. This information will aid the development of DNA vaccines against many bacterial diseases.
2. To develop a DNA vaccine against bacterial kidney disease (BKD), a serious emerging disease for which there currently is no effective vaccine.
3. To develop methods to administer DNA vaccines by dip, immersion or oral delivery.
4. To evaluate the role of CpG immunostimulatory sequences for augmenting immune responses to DNA vaccines and develop CpG-optimized DNA vaccine vectors.
5. To measuring the kinetics of humoral and cell-mediated specific and non-specific immune responses to DNA vaccines and CpG motifs by use a cannulation system that allows repeated blood sampling from individual fish.
6. To determine certain safety aspects of DNA vaccines including (i) the kinetics and longevity of antigen expression, (ii) the persistence of plasmid in vaccinated host, and (iii) the risk of integration in the vaccinated fish.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
