Forskning og udvikling

Zoonosecentrets forskning understøtter afdelingens og institutionens opgavevaretagelse indenfor zoonoser og antibiotikaresistens (zoonoser og indikatorer). Den kan inddeles i hhv. epidemiologisk og statistisk/matematisk forskning. Den epidemiologiske forskning baseres på deskriptive og analytiske metoder f.eks. tidsrække-analyser, analyse af geografiske data, risikofaktor-studier, multidimensional dataindsamling samt matematiske modeller

På nuværende tidspunkt har centret forskningsprojekter indenfor følgende områder:
Projekterne er kort beskrevet nedenfor med henvisning til kontaktperson(er).

Antimicrobial consumption and resistance in broilers and pigs - DANMAP and VetStat

Antibiotic resistance in human GI flora - DANMAP

Associations between non-human antimicrobial usage and resistance in animals and food - DANMAP and VetStat

Human VTEC infections - sources and routes

Giardia and Cryptosporidium- Transmission

Qualysafe - Balancing microbiological safety against other food quality parameters - DFFE project

Risk perception and cost benefit analysis of interventions to control Campylobacter - DFFE project

Methods of attributing human Salmonella and Campylobacter infections with different animals, food and environmental sources - Med-Vet-Net project

DANMAP and VetStat project – Associations between antimicrobial consumption and antimicrobial resistance in broiler flocks and pig herds
The DANMAP programme monitors the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance among zoonotic indicator and pathogenic bacteria from animals. The farm of origin is registered for each bacterial isolate. The VetStat programme monitors the consumption of antimicrobials at herd level and within herd the consumption is known for animals species, age group and indication.

Based on data from the VetStat programme a descriptive analysis of the consumption of antimicrobials in broiler flocks and pig herds
