Abstract (Englisch)

The goal of the project is to improve productivity and sustainability of ruminant production in Africa and South America by developing diagnostic tests and vaccines to control the tick-borne transmitted cowdriosis and anaplasmosis. Improved diagnostic tests and second generation vaccines (as a furthering of the first generation inactivated vaccine) will be developed using recombinant technology.

The work will be conducted within an existing consortium of 4 European (France, UK, Netherlands, Switzerland) and 5 African laboratories (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda) working on cowdriosis, to which will be added 2 partners of the American region (Argentina & Cuba) bringing their expertise in anaplasmosis.
