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.
PRORISK’s vision is to provide exceptional value by creating an innovative platform to train a network of early stage researchers (ESR) in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment (WAS).
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.
TEMPOINVASIONS will use the most advanced molecular tools to analyze sedimentary sequences from well-preserved sites along the Spanish coast (Bay of Cádiz, Cabo de Gata, Ebro Delta). We will focus on the last six centuries since the major translocation of marine species began due to the beginning of transoceanic exploration.
Change in ecosystems occurs over multiple temporal and spatial scales. Discriminating between actual changes, cycles and trends is often difficult or impossible without an adequate temporal perspective, since multiple processes interact at multiple temporal and spatial scales.
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.
