Pilot project: Identification of RNA and DNA viruses in CSF of patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology by pyrosequencing

In up to 50% of aseptic meningitis/encephalitis cases, the nature of the aetiological agent remains unexplained. Some of these diseases could be caused by zoonotic arboviruses, which have so far not been researched much, for that have no diagnostic methods available. However, it is also likely that new, previously unknown viruses and microorganisms are the cause of these diseases. The new high...

A functional array for the detection of botulinum toxins (BoNT): a novel multiplex endopeptidase assay

Due to the complex protein structure of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) and their high toxicity, the diagnosis of botulism is extremely difficult. This is partly due to the lack of freely available specific reagents for the detection of serotypes and subtypes for the establishment of standardized diagnostics. The aim of the project was to establish an innovative method for the functional and...

Cross section project: Spatial, temporal and economic risk assessment of vector-borne zoonoses

The aim of the cross-sectional project is to determine the spatial, temporal and economic risk for vector-borne zoonoses in Germany and Europe. Hazard maps: Ecological suitability and occurrence probabilities of vectors and pathogens will be modelled by means of spatially and temporally high-resolution occurrence, climate and remote sensing data - including the distribution of host organisms and...

Pilot project: Infectious tuberculosis = "open tuberculosis" - does this definition underestimate the pathogen transmission in red deer?

In a large-scale monitoring programme along the Alpine chain, tortz, recognised as tuberculosis-free in Germany, confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium caprae in red deer over four hunting periods. A mutual transfer between wild and domestic animals is very likely due to the predominant use of common habitats (alpine pastures/alps) as well as due to the same DNA fingerprints and genome sequences...

Research funding of the National Research Platform for Zoonoses

National and international cooperation is becoming increasingly important and can therefore meet the challenges of zoonoses research more effectively. Interdisciplinary research approaches in research networks are often necessary to achieve the research objectives in a timely manner. Therefore, the acquisition of third-party funds for the research of zoonotic infectious diseases is of central...

Pilot project: Studies on the prevalence and typing of Clostridium difficile in pets and their keepers

Clostridium difficile can cause various forms of diarrhoea in humans. The clinical spectrum of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) ranges from mild diarrhoea to life-threatening pseudomembranous colitis. C. difficile is also associated with diarrhoea in animals. In addition to numerous wild animals, pets and farm animals are also affected by C. difficile -associated diarrhoeal diseases. A high...

Pilot project: Production of a fully defined mutant bank of cow pox viruses to study in vitro host specificity

Cow pox viruses (CPXV) have a broad host spectrum in vivo and in vitro and belong to the zoonotic representatives of orthopox viruses (OPV). Using the example of CPXV, which has the most complete OPV genome, this project used a total length BAC clone (BAC = bacterial artificial chromosome) to search for new viral factors that are important for the host spectrum. The technique of targeted...

Cross-sectional project "Establishment and characterization of respiratory and renal epithelial cell cultures from rodents and insectivores" - EpiZell

The use of cell cultures is common practice in infection research. In the field of zoonoses research, however, these models often reach their limits because new pathogens cannot be isolated and propagated in conventional cell culture systems. Especially for new pathogens, which are often detected in rodents or insectivores, suitable cell culture models that can adequately represent an infection in...

Junior Scientist Representative

One vote in the IB The National Research Platform for Zoonoses also counts numerous young scientists among its members. In order to ensure that the interests of this group are adequately reflected in the activities of the platform, a representative is elected each year at the Junior Scientists Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) from among the young scientists to serve on the Internal Advisory Board (IB) of...

One Health Certificate

One Health Certificate Due to the localization of zoonoses research at the interface of different scientific fields, this research field puts special demands on young scientists. The One Health Certificate of the National Research Platform for Zoonoses is intended to support the interdisciplinary education of PhD students in zoonoses research and to promote the widest possible qualification for...
