Learn about MoMIR project outputs
- Are you interested in the epidemiology of zoonotic bacterial pathogens, such as Salmonella?
- How can animal Super-shedders for Salmonella be identified and detected?
- What new approaches can be used to prevent and control Salmonellosis?
To better understand these questions, JRP MoMIR conducted Salmonella research in pigs, poultry and humans. MoMIR project successfully developed:
1. Predictive markers based on what assigns the risk to become a super-shedder of Salmonella.
2. Immune and microbiota biomarkers of excretion useful to detect animal super-shedders and/ or prolonged human carriers.
3. Salmonella preventive and control measures by characterising prebiotics and probiotics products for use in animals and humans.
4. A pool of cost-effective biosecurity measures at farm level using the tools of mathematical models.
This work has provided information and tools leading to on-farm control of Salmonella essential for improving EU industry sustainability and safe trade. MoMIR project was led by INRAE.
