Strengthening the EU’s capacity to combat DENV and WNV epidemics and pandemic threats is necessary to develop effective contingency plans.
For this reason, the EU has funded the international project InFlaMe (Grant Agreement ID: 101191725), which is based on three pillars: 1) the clinical investigation of factors related to serious disease 2) the development of therapies to combat the disease and 3) the surveillance of infections based on a One-Health approach (which takes into account humans, animals and environment).
The Consortium is composed by:
– IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation as Coordinator (IT; Fausto Baldanti)
– National Institute for Molecular Genetics-INGM (IT; Renata Grifantini, Antonio Lanzavecchia, Sergio Abrignani, Raffaele De Francesco)
– Pasteur Institute (FR; Jouvenet Nolween)
– CIC Biogune Institute (ES; Jesus Jimenos-Barberez and Nicola Abrescia)
– University of Florence (IT; Cristina Nativi)
– National Research Council (IT; Giovanni Maga and Paolo Mazzetti)
– Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lombardy and Emilia Romagna (IT; Ana Maria Moreno Martin)
– IMAGINE Institute (FR; Jean Laurent Casanova and Shen-Ying Zhang,)
– University of Vienna (AT; Judith Aberle and Karin Stiasny)
– Masaryk University (Daniel Ruzek).
The project started on 01/01/2025 and will end on 12/31/2028.
