Learn about IDEMBRU project’s outputs – with a toolbox focused on Brucella

Q. Are you concerned about the zoonotic disease Brucellosis? ​
Q. Do you want to know more about newly emerging Brucella species? ​

JRP IDEMBRU evaluated the presence of non-core Brucella in the European environment and wildlife. ​

The project developed a toolbox focusing on emerging Brucella species and reservoirs to ensure their rapid detection, identification and characterisation. ​

Their research can inform Brucella surveillance activities, which are essential to protect humans and animals against this zoonotic threat.​

Some key project outcomes included:​

– The IDEMBRU collaboration with PADI Web platform for epidemic surveillance to start on early warning systems for Brucella outbreaks in European countries.​

– The IDEMBRU collaboration with OHEJP COHESIVE project to form a working group to evaluate the presence of B. canis in dogs and humans and to determine its pathogenic characteristics. They have prepared a White Paper on B. canis regarding the current epidemiological situation in Europe with further recommended actions.​
