ASTRE’s research projects cover a broad scientific field and are conducted over four continents (Africa and Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Caribbean and Europe). Funding comes from various donors (French and European public funds, international organisations, private foundations etc.).
A selection of research projects is presented below in reverse chronological order (most recent first):
-
DGAl Convention: Convention on surveillance and scientific and technical support in animal health
This framework agreement relates to the collaboration between the Directorate-General for Food (DGAl) and the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD) in the field of animal health.
-
MULTIVACC: Improving vaccines against small ruminant diseases in Africa
The unit, in partnership with the Centre International de Recherche-Développement sur l’Élevage en zone Subhumide (CIRDES, Burkina Faso) and KALRO (Kenya), coordinates the MULTIVACC project, ‘Multivalent approach for the improvement of inactivated vaccines against diseases of small ruminants in Africa’. The project aims to develop a bivalent vaccine against cowdriosis and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.
-
Based in the Southwest Indian Ocean, SEGA - One Health brings together health organisations from Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Comoros and Reunion with the aim of monitoring emerging diseases in these islands, understanding them and avoiding their spread by offering country-specific control measures.
-
EVACS : Evaluation of vaccination strategies against animal diseases (EVACS)
EVACS project aims to develop a decision tool for the evaluation of the most efficient vaccination strategy to control and prevent animal disease circulation and introduction within animal production systems. Decision makers and animal production stakeholders are involved in the co-development and implementation of the tool using participatory approaches, to ensure relevance and acceptability of the tool and recommendations generated by its implementation.
-
TROI: Tracking health risks in the Indian Ocean with a One Health approach
The TROI project is a research programme structuring the research and teaching system in the One Health Partnership - OI. It aims to better control health risks in the Indian Ocean region through a ‘One Health’ approach.
-
THRoPPo: Therapeutical vaccine against peste des petits ruminants (PPR)
The THRoPPo project aims to develop a therapeutic vaccine against peste des petits ruminants (PPR) based on the expression of an interfering RNA (siRNA) through an attenuated vaccine. The project’s aim is to modify a vaccine strain made resistant to a siRNA in order to make it express active siRNA against viruses found in the field. Such a modified vaccine will then be able to block the replication of virulent viruses by inhibiting genes essential for their replication, simultaneously allowing for the treatment and vaccination of infected animals.
-
Cirad-ASTRE is collaborating with the OIE and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on their 3-years project (2017-2019) entitled “Public Private Progress” and more especially regarding the economic impact evaluation activities.
-
The BioSceneMada project’s objective is to study biodiversity scenarios in Madagascar given the context of climate change and anthropogenic deforestation.
-
The TELENipah project aims to better understand the contact between bats and humans in order to assess the risks of the emergence of Nipah virus in Cambodia
