Накратко на български

Комарите, пренасящи вируси като денге и Zika, се проучват чрез нови инструменти за наблюдение и екологични методи за контрол на популациите им. Това помага за намаляване на разпространението на опасни болести в Европа, Африка и Бразилия.

a research and InNOvation Partnership for enhancing the surveillance and control of mosquito VECtors ofemerging arboviruses

Over the past decade, arboviral diseases like dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever have (re)emerged with increasing prevalence and severity worldwide, including in Europe. Without effective vaccines or treatments, prevention relies on controlling mosquito vectors and reducing human-vector contact. However, the resurgence of Aedes-transmitted diseases underscores the limitations of current vector control methods, highlighting the need for innovative, scalable, and community-based solutions. The INOVEC project, launched in 2023, addresses this challenge through a consortium of 26 international institutions. It aims to develop integrated approaches and sustainable tools for arboviral mosquito surveillance and control, focusing on Europe, Africa, and Brazil. INOVEC will enhance monitoring and surveillance by creating diagnostic tools and communication technologies to track mosquito populations and transmission risks. It will also develop environmentally friendly, community-based vector control methods, including biological, physical, and genetic tools. INOVEC emphasizes local context and community involvement by collaborating with experts across disciplines, fostering partnerships between mosquito control specialists, the private sector, and communities. It will transfer knowledge through training workshops, digital learning materials, and international conferences, maximizing its impact on global vector control efforts. Ultimately, INOVEC aims to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases and improve global health through innovative, integrated, and environmentally responsible approaches.

Цел на проекта

Over the past 10 years, arboviral diseases, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever, have (re)emerged with increasing prevalence and severity. Although these arboviral diseases are more prevalent in tropical countries, increasing numbers of autochthonous cases are being reported from European countries; hence raising concerns about the potential for the establishment of these pathogens in temperate regions. In the absence of effective vaccines and treatments, preventing these diseases at the global scale continues to depend largely on controlling mosquito vector populations, interrupting human–vector contact or both. Unfortunately, the recent resurgence of Aedes transmitted arboviral diseases worldwide highlights the limitations of current vector control to prevent epidemics and to reduce the incidence of diseases. New, affordable, scalable and community-based vector control measures are urgently needed to prevent the introduction, spread and establishment of Aedes-borne diseases in Europe and beyond. The INOVEC project proposes to build a large pan-European, cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary network to develop, optimise and promote integrated approaches and innovative tools for the surveillance and control of mosquito vectors of emerging arboviruses. INOVEC will gather 21 academic and non-academic institutions specialized in vector biology, social sciences and product development to stimulate basic and applied research, strengthen capacities, promote career development and facilitate knowledge and technology transfer to countries at increasing risk of arboviral diseases. INOVEC has the commitment to coordinate and integrate sectors in order to maximise impact, raise awareness of policy makers and stakeholders, and participate in the improvement of innovation potential at the European and global level. INOVEC will contribute to international efforts to improve global health and human well-being by reducing the burden of vector borne diseases.
