Projects Veterinary Public Health

Research at IRAS has a wide range of subjects. Most of the research is part of the RATIA program (see main page on Research). For all projects a short description is available. The following list are projects of the 'Veterinary Public Health'.

• Alternative detection of Cysticercosis in calves
• Alternatives for antibiotics: Modulation with Immune-stimulating Phytochemicals as alternative for antimicrobial treatment (ModIPhy)
• Inactivation of norovirus in food supply chains
• Innovative detection of antibodies against pathogenic bacteria in animal products, modelling of infections and sampling strategies to improve the protection of the consumer
• Innovative detection of parasitic infections in swine and consumer protection impact of advanced analytical methods
• Innovative methods for the detection of micro-organisms pathogenic to humans and animals (Centaur Project)
• Linking two worlds: The effects of veterinary antibiotics on microbial communities - human and environmental health
• Microbial functioning of soil – does diversity matter?
• Occurrence and health significance of Stap. Aureus in the poultry processing industry
• Reduction of community health risks of animal-associated Clostridium difficile
• The baseline across soils – transformation of plant-borne organic matter
• The microbiological risks related to swimming in surface water in the Netherlands
• Water and soil as vector for transmission of antibiotic resistance
