Each of these pathogens causes infection and/or disease in livestock (ruminants and/or equines). The major aim of this initiative is to create a multidisciplinary research network combining the expertise of veterinary and human epidemiologists, disease modellers, virologists and arthropod biologists with the following objectives: - to perform epidemiological modelling of possible scenarios of CCHFV, RVFV and WNV spread in Europe, evaluating possible risk-based surveillance approaches and outbreak control. The modelling approaches will be assessed for application to a wider range of arthropod-borne diseases to maximise the potential impact of this project, - to promote and support epidemiological studies on distribution of viral genetic subpopulations, - to increase the actual knowledge of virus-vector and virus-vertebrate host interactions - to support dissemination of knowledge on the epidemiology, surveillance and control of these diseases across the affected countries within and outside Europe, by developing e-learning materials. The project will also focus on strengthening potential for research into these and similar livestock and zoonotic pathogens, by promoting excellence of research, training and capacity-building and by increasing visibility and awareness of the diseases in endemic and at-risk areas of Europe.
