Implemented and successfully completed Project 1.1.1.2/VIAA/1/16/204
Implemented and successfully completed Project of European Regional Development Fund “1.1.1.2. “Post-doctoral research aid” “One Health” multidisciplinary approaches for epidemiology and prevention of selected parasitic zoonosis (OMEPPAZ), (1.1.1.2/VIAA/1/16/204)” (implemented by senior researcher Dr. biol. Gunita Deksne).
The following project results have been achieved during the implementation:
- 3 publications have been prepared and published in cooperation with national and international scientific institutes within the aim and content of the research:
- Olsen A., Berg R., Tagel M., Must K., Deksne G., et al. 2019. Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs, sheep, cattle, wild boars, and moose in the Nordic-Baltic region: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Parasite Epidemiol Control. 5, e00100.
- Laivacuma S., Deksne G., Jokelainen P., Ivanovs A., Zaharova L., Zeltiņa I., Vīksna L., Krūmiņa A. 2019. Risk factors for human cystic echinococcosis in Latvia. Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis. 19(6), 430-433.
- Deksne G., Veisa V., Rezeberga D., Vīksna L., Krūmiņa A. 2019. Retrospective Serological Evidence of High Exposure of Globally Relevant Zoonotic Parasite Toxoplasma gondii in The Latvian Population. Proc Latv Acad Sci, B Nat exact appl sci 73: 146-151.
2. The results of the project were presented:
-
- in 7 international conferences for specialists in field of One Health;
- 3 popular scientific publications, including 1 podcast, were prepared for medical and veterinary practitioners and hunters practicing in Latvia;
- a total of 8 presentations were prepared and presented both for existing specialists in the field and included in the study courses for future specialists in the field.
3. The results of the research have been demonstrated to the general public both within the framework of the events “Scientists’ Night” (2018 and 2019) and the exhibition “RigaFood 2020”.
4. A Centre of Excellence in the field of food parasitic pathogens has been established. In accordance with BIOR’s areas of specialization and leading motive, BIOR has established an integrated Centre of Excellence in Food Parasitic Pathogens (hereinafter – Centre of Excellence) as a virtual unit to provide a high-quality and up-to-date knowledge base and promote interdisciplinary research in food parasitic pathogens “One world, one health” concept. The Centre of Excellence has developed an operational strategy that describes the Centre of Excellence: goals and objectives, impact on the Latvian economy, epidemiological surveillance of food parasitic pathogens in Latvia, technical and staffing, involvement of partners, ethical aspects, synergies and sustainable development, and publicity.
