MOSQUITOBLOCK Integrated biomolecular methods to control mosquito-borne diseases
Coordinator: MANSOURA UNIVERSITY (EG)
Mosquitoes transmit some of the world's most serious diseases. The most important disease vectors are members of the subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria, filarial parasites , and a few arboviruses. There are 30 genera in the Culicidae subfamily, but the medically important mosquitoes are Culex, Aedes, Mansonia, and Annigeres (Culex would be important in Europe for West Nile Disease and Avian malaria), while (Aedes would be more important in Tropical countries). Over the last 45 years, the use of chemical pesticides such as dichlorodiphe-nyltrichloroeth…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 1 year from 2015-12-01 to 2016-11-30.
