MED-VET-NET Network for prevention and control of zoonoses
Diseases naturally transmitted from animals to man termed zoonoses, constitute major public health risks and generate emerging disease problems. Such diseases especially when food-borne have significant social and financial impacts in Europe and need to be addressed across the whole food supply chain. The overall objective of MED-VET-NET is to develop a Network of Excellence for the integration of veterinary, medical and food scientists in the field of food safety at the European Level in order to impro ve research on the prevention and control of zoonoses including food-borne diseases, while considering the public health concerns of consumers and other stakeholders throughout the food chain. MED-VET-NET includes 8 veterinary and 7 public health institut es from 10 European countries.
