 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'With the increasing impact of mankind’s activities on the natural environment, disease naturally harboured by wild animals, both within the geographical limits of the EU and elsewhere, are becoming increasingly significant both for public health and health of livestock, in addition to having direct concerns for wild animal species. We are proposing a project which will combine (i) technological development to enable high through-put array-based screening of samples from a wide variety of wild animals with (ii) surveillance of terrestrial, aerial and marine wild animal species within Europe and from countries which act as portals of disease entry into the EU, (iii) epidemiological analysis and risk assessment using data generated during the project and from other sources, and (iv) development and proposal of a model framework for disease surveillance within Europe developed in parallel with the burgeoning systems in North America. The proposal will place the EU at the centre of wildlife disease surveillance and also enable the translation of high throughput array-based technologies into human and veterinary medicine.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A recently completed research project has developed a surveillance system to monitor diseases of wild animals in Europe that could affect human or livestock populations.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Seventy-five per cent of all human diseases from the last two decades are of wildlife origin. The spread of wildlife diseases is often caused by viruses evolving in response to changes in the human population, host-pathogen relationship or environmental pollution.

Until now, there has been no coordinated effort to monitor the spread of infection within and between different countries in the EU. To address this problem, the 'Novel technologies for surveillance of emerging and re-emerging infections of wildlife' (http://www.wildtechproject.com/ (WILDTECH)) project devised a technology platform for high-throughput disease diagnosis in wild animals.

WILDTECH research members designed high-throughput diagnostic tests to identify more than 200 pathogens in wildlife populations, and more in-depth methods for 20 priority diseases. This technology allows the EU to continuously monitor the spread of wildlife diseases and evaluate potential risks to the human population.

Investigators established a pathogen database to store all the information about samples tested in the project. Part of the data that related to pathogen characterisation was forwarded to the http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/List_Vols/Wildpro_Gen_Cont.htm (Wildpro electronic encyclopaedia).

WILDTECH also developed statistical tests to predict disease outbreaks in the EU and surrounding countries. This has been incorporated into a multi-host disease model essential for epidemiologists across the EU.

Ultimately, this work will help prevent the spread of disease, thereby reducing the mortality rate and improving welfare for both human and animal populations.
