ZOONOTIC
Human viruses with an animal reservoir
Zoonotic virus infections place a huge burden on society in terms of disease burden and mortality, and also in direct health service costs, drugs prescribed and the indirect costs related to productivity losses. Zoonotic viruses such as avian influenza virus and MERS-coronavirus, but also newly emerging viruses pose a constant threat to society. In addition to these respiratory viruses, Artemis is also studying ways to combat rabies virus infections, a virus that kills more than 60.000 people each year.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
The following viruses are being studied currently, embedded in several projects.
Compare is a consortium consisting of various institutions from different EU countries and subsidized by the European Commission. This consortium is working to develop a platform that allows rapid identification of new infectious diseases… > LEARN MORE
Zapi is an EC subsidized consortium consisting of several public and private institutions. This consortium aims at developing a platform that allows rapid identification of new viral diseases and rapid development of vaccines against these newly emerging viruses… > LEARN MORE
Flucop is a consortium of public and private partners that work together to define the part of the immune system that is most important in providing protection against influenza virus… > LEARN MORE
Flunivac is an EC subsidized consortium consisting of several public and private institutions. The aim of this consortium is to develop an universal vaccine against influenza virus, which would eliminate the need to change the composition of the vaccine every year… > LEARN MORE
