RoBoPub

The aim of the interdisciplinary RoBoPub joint project is to create the necessary knowledge base on the epidemiology of two rodent-transmitted zoonotic agents, hantaviruses and leptospiruses, and to translate the knowledge gained into public health measures. Object of the research Hantaviruses and leptospires will be investigated in parallel in the joint project because there are similarities in...

ZooBoCo

The Zoonotic Bornavirus Consortium (ZooBoCo) is working on the characterisation of the newly discovered variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1). Background Since its initial description in 2015, four deaths have been recorded in Germany due to infections with the new variegated squirrel borna virus (VSBV-1). This unexpected accumulation raises serious concerns about the transmissibility of CSBV...

AECO

Vector biology of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus and the socio-ecological factors for its prevention and control in cooler ecoregions AECO The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is of enormous social and medical relevance as a carrier of infectious diseases (such as chikungunya and dengue fever). Under global warming, A. albopictus and probably also the associated viruses will spread...

ARBOSPREAD

Ecology of novel arbo-viruses Background Vector-transmitted diseases are responsible for about 1/5 of all infectious diseases. Mosquito-borne diseases in particular can spread rapidly to new geographical regions, adapt to new hosts and trigger epidemics that are difficult to contain. Our knowledge about the diversity, evolution and geographical spread of arboviruses is mainly based on epidemic...

RNA-VIRT

RNA-VIRT: Spreading RNA viruses and their interaction with the human and animal host Background The junior research group RNA-VIRT deals with the host-dependent pathogenesis of zoonotic RNA viruses using the flaviviruses Early Summer Meningoencephalitis (TBE) virus and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus as examples. The aim is to identify molecular factors that influence both the host tropism and...

TBZ - Tick-borne Zoonoses

The junior research group "Tick-Borne Zoonoses" (TBZ) is engaged in research into the vector biology of ticks using the tick species Ixodes ricinus , which is widely distributed in Europe. This tick serves as a vector for zoonotic diseases such as Lyme borreliosis and early summer meningoencephalitis (TBE) Background The pathogens transmitted by I. ricinus represent highly prevalent and relevant...

Toxoplasma gondii

Persistence of Toxoplasma gondii infections: Mechanisms of action of potential drug candidates and the role of physiological heterogeneity Background Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplex parasite that infects virtually all warm-blooded animals and 30% of humans worldwide. In Germany a seroconversion rate of 1% per year leads to a prevalence of 50%. This illustrates the need to reduce the zoonotic...

ZooVac

Innovative vaccine research against viral zoonoses Background The junior research group ZOOVAC is conducting innovative vaccine research against viral zoonoses. The focus is on the improvement of a disease-specific protective effect of vaccines. Important goals are, for example, the achievement of neuroprotection, i.e. protection of the CNS (brain and spinal cord) as well as protection of the...

ÖGD-Projects

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has been funding research in the field of zoonoses since 2008. Since 2017, the Research Network for Zoonotic Infectious Diseases has been in existence, which is located at many different research institutes throughout Germany. The Institute of Virology at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin is in charge of the coordination project of the...
