Integrated consortium on ticks and tick-borne diseasesPeriod: 1/09/2004 to 31/08/2008Budget from EC: EUR 1 842 000website: www.icttd.nlTick-borne diseases (TBD) are responsible for major dropsin livestock production and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa,Latin America and Asia. The aim of this CoordinationAction (CA) is to support a research programme on tickbornediseases jointly executed by a consortium of 45institutions in 30 different countries. The CA will focus ontick-host-pathogen interactions to identify concrete meansof control that reduce the prevalence of TBD in (sub)tropical countries.Coordinator: Prof Dr Frans JongejanUtrecht University, Faculty of Veterinary MedicineAll information generated by the CA project will bedisseminated through ICTTD seminars, special publicationsand through printed and electronic versions of a newsletter onticks and tick-borne diseases of livestock in the (sub)tropics.The project will generate a cluster of integrated databasescontaining information on ticks, hosts, and pathogens thatwill be crucial for the correct identification of ticks and theprecise differential diagnosis of pathogens. The CA willfunction as a forum to discuss, evaluate, and recommendchanges regarding biosystematics and molecular phylogenyof ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Integrated moleculardiagnostic test kits will be distributed to provide researchtools for comparative epidemiological studies on tickbornepathogens. Prevalence data on ticks and tick-bornepathogens will be linked to remotely sensed eco-climaticdata to create predictive maps for geographical distributionof tropical ticks and TBD in target regions. Genomicsand proteomics data will be used to design integratedvaccine strategies targeting ticks and pathogens to reducedependency on chemical tick control. The CA will act asa focal point for setting up consortia on novel genomicsand sequencing projects particularly for ticks. Differentialgene expression studies will be facilitated using sequencesfrom ticks, hosts, and pathogens to provide insight intothe three-way interactions of genes within the tick-hostpathogentriangle.Food Security
