Imagine if we could predict where a spark might start a forest fire before it happens. This work tracks how bats move and how their viruses behave to spot the 'sparks' that lead to human outbreaks. By understanding these patterns, we can create better warnings and medicines before a virus jumps to people.
Current viral surveillance only detects viruses after they appear, failing to identify the environmental and biological triggers that cause a virus to jump from animals to humans.
A dashboard of virological and ecological tools, innovative serological protocols, and a risk-assessment mapping tool for viral emergencies.
If you are a drug developer dealing with the threat of 'Disease X' — this project developed in vitro and in vivo screening of antivirals that accelerates the creation of therapeutic and prophylactic tools.
If you are a lab dealing with zoonotic risks in livestock — this project developed innovative protocols for serological and virological investigations that help detect high-consequence RNA viruses in domestic animals.
If you are a consultant dealing with public health safety mapping — this project developed an evidence-based tool for risk-assessment and mapping of local viral emergencies.
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information provided for the tools or the dashboard.
The project is currently establishing a methodological platform and harmonized surveillance system; it is not yet at an industrial scale.
Based on available project data, the methods and resources are intended to be made available to a wider network of experts, but specific licensing terms are not listed.
The project runs from 2023-12-01 to 2026-11-30.
It uses a harmonized surveillance system and tracking systems, including the deployment of 20 VHF receivers in southern and eastern EU countries.
The consortium is research-heavy with 7 universities and 2 research institutes, but maintains a 21% industry ratio with 3 industrial partners, including 2 SMEs. This balance suggests the project is focused on high-level scientific validation while keeping a path toward commercial application through the industrial members.
