TEiCON

Research project

TEiCON (Tools for Eimeria CONtrol, 2020-2024, lead by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute) will contribute to develop better diagnostic tools and new data and knowledge to reinforce the sustainability of broiler and turkey farming, with main focus on coccidiosis (Eimeria spp.) and necrotic enteritis, and on further reducing the low usage of antimicrobials in Norwegian poultry meat production.

VIRRBC

Research project

Infectious salmon anaemia virus binds Atlantic salmon red blood cells, but we do not know the significance of this interaction. In this project we study how the virus’ ability to bind red blood cells influences the course of infection and development of disease in infectious salmon anaemia.

ViVaAct

Research project

ViVaACT aim to characterize the specific mechanisms that separate the host immune response triggered by attenuated or inactivated viruses and their protective potential, focusing primarily on salminid alphavirus (SAV) and Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV). This project may identify clues to protective vaccination against PD and HSMI and related viral diseases in fish.

Yersiniosis in sea-farmed salmon

Research project

The project will focus on identification of the cause(s) behind the recent increase in number of yersiniosis outbreaks in mid-Norway. 

AGD: Treatment strategies/dose-response-studies in farmed Atlantic salmon

Research project

Treatment strategies / dose response studies with hydrogen peroxide and fresh water to find combinations of concentrations and treatment time that give the best effect against AGD (amoebic gill disease caused by Paramoeba perurans ) in farmed salmon.

AGRISPACE - Space, land and society: challenges and opportunities for production and innovation in agriculture based value chains

Research project

The Agrispace-project is a collaboration between the Centre for Rural Research, NILF, the Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, and international partners including the University of Bonn, financed by the Research Council of Norway.

APEC-Seq - Avian pathogenic E. coli in Norwegian broiler production - characterisation, identification of risk factors and prevention

Research project

The research project APEC-Seq aims to reduce the overall occurrence of colibacillosis in broilers and increase research-based knowledge regarding pathogenic E. coli in poultry.

Elucidation of the role of Tenacibaculum spp. in atypical winter-ulcer in sea-farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway

Research project

Tenacibaculosis has recently emerged as a serious disease in Norwegian salmonid aquaculture. The contribution of environmental, management and bacterial factors to outbreaks of tenacibaculosis are unknown. The present study has main focus on increasing knowledge relating to this disease primarily through an epidemiological study aimed at identifying risk factors for development of tenacibaculosis.

EU-JAMRAI - European Union Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare-Associated Infections (HCAI)

Research project

EU-JAMRAI’s mission is to foster synergies among EU Member States by developing and implementing effective One Health policies to fight the rising threat of AMR and to reduce HCAI.

Eubothrium - Infections with Eubothrium sp. in Norwegian fish farms: resistance, distribution and impact on fish health and growth.

Research project

This project aims to increase knowledge about tapeworm infections in Norwegian fish farms and to create a knowledge base for further research that can result in better management and treatment strategies for such infections. This will aid the farmers in reaching decision on e.g. how to treat tapeworm infections, which in the end will be economically beneficial to the farmer.
