The great heterogeneity in individual behavior as well as between different groups translates into a variability in human-mosquito interaction, and therefore in a variability in the risk of disease transmission. This relationship not only depends on the density of mosquitoes and people in an area but on many other factors.
The One Health PACT team focuses primarily on vector-borne diseases, primarily mosquitoes. With a comprehensive vision of this problem, the impact of climate change, water management, agricultural and livestock methods, and the importation of diseases through trade and tourism, on the probability of an outbreak, is investigated.
Our proposal is a collaboration between all the CSIC Institutes that work in marine sciences and aims to develop a comprehensive scientific dissemination program about marine ecosystems, their importance, the threats they face and what we can do as citizens.
The overall goal of the MOBVEC project is to create technology that is the first line of defense against disease vectors, helps prevent and combat disease outbreaks, and helps save lives.
Outbreaks of infectious diseases are increasing due to multiple changes in local and global interactions that alter the fragile balance of the complex human-animal-environment ecosystem. The increased frequency and complexity of health threats require a different and unified way of preparedness and a coordinated, rapid, reliable and effective emergency response.
E4Warning is an holistic approach to improve our understanding of the interplay between humans, mosquitoes, reservoir species and the environment for a better disease intelligence capable of anticipating and identifying mosquito-borne diseases epidemic risk and outbreaks.
The INOVEC project is dedicated to fostering collaborative research and driving innovation to improve surveillance and control of mosquito vectors that carry emerging arboviruses to Europe and beyond.
The project will use a socioecological conceptual framework, which will comprehensively evaluate the influence that livestock management dynamics have on herbaceous plant and butterfly communities, which are excellent bioindicators of the conservation status of mountain ecosystems.
Under the current global change scenario, it is essential to understand how individuals and populations are affected and how they respond to perturbations. Additionally, improving quantitative criteria to assess the conservation status of species and populations are needed to optimize the prioritization when using public resources and maximize our ability to anticipate and predict biodiversity loss.
