Building of a breeding program to develop resistant varieties of strawberries with special suitability for organic farming (Project)

Botrytis cinerea and Xanthomonas fragariae are two important pests in organic strawberry cultivation. Effective pesticides are not permitted in organic farming and only indirect plant protecting measures such as cultivation methods and plant strengthening products can help to improve the productivity. Resistant or tolerant cultivars with special applicability for organic farming could be an...

Harmonisation of methods for the monitoring of VTEC and subtyping of stx2 genes (Project)

The European member States are required in accordance with the Directive 2003/99/EC (EC, 2003) to collect comparable data for harmonise monitoring and reporting of verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) in animals and foodstuffs. For this reason and on the basis of the opinion of the panel of Biological Hazards for the monitoring of VTEC (on behalf of the EFSA), uniform technical specifications have been...

Rat hepatitis E virus as a model virus for studies on stability, pathogenicity and transmission pathways of human hepatitis E viruses (Project)

Hepatitis E is a human disease, which is increasingly diagnosed in developed countries. In 2008, a total of 104 cases have been notified in Germany, most of them have been acquired in Germany. For those authochthonous infections, a zoonotic transmission of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) from infected pigs and wild boars through the food chain is assumed. Although it is known that HEV is broadly...

Characterisation of Campylobacter lari strains (Project)

The genus Campylobacter comprises 18 species and since 1990 the species Campylobacter lari is included which contribute to the human pathogene species of Campylobacter.The differentiation of C. lari is based on the biochemical characteristics positive for katalase and negative for hippurate- and indol acetate-hyrolysis as well as on the amplification of the C. lari serine hydroxymethyltransferase...

Behaviour of micro flora and pathogens following decontamination of poultry carcasses (Project)

Following to decontamination procedures of poultry carcasses the original micro flora changes dramatically after the process and recent opinions expressed by the EFSA suggest that there is also a potential increase of resistance of pathogen microorganisms to the substances applied for decontamination. The dramatic changes of micro flora may also induce a boosted growth of pathogens like Listeria...
