Research on heartwater at the EMVT Department of CIRAD in Guadeloupe
The Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine Department of CIRAD (French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development) in Guadeloupe is the OIE reference laboratory for heartwater. It conducts research on various aspects of the disease:
- - Diagnosis: development of detection and typing methods of pathogens in hosts and vectors
- Epidemiology: understanding disease transmission, pathogen diversity and risk factors; evaluating the impact of vaccine methods in farming systems
- Immunology: characterization of the immune response induced by Ehrlichia ruminantium and by different antigen delivery systems
- Vaccine development: use of biocomputing (genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics) to identify new potential antigens; development of new generation vaccines (multivalent heartwater + anaplasmosis vaccines)
The EMVT Department in Guadeloupe has a long tradition of welcoming students and trainees of various backgrounds (veterinary medicine, animal production, biochemistry, etc) in its laboratory. To find out more about research opportunities at EMVT please contact Dr Nathalie Vachiéry
