Centre for the International Cooperation in Agronomic Research for Development
The French Centre for the International Cooperation in Agronomic Research for Development (CIRAD) will work with AU-IBAR on the VACNADA project to evaluate adjuvants for live and inactivated Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) vaccines. CIRAD will also support the use of c-ELISA test in Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) vaccine producing laboratories to help in the assessment of the vaccine efficacy and, in liaison with GALVmed, CIRAD will coordinate the optimisation and validation of the Xerovac freezedrying process for the Peste des Petit Ruminants (PPR) vaccine. Additionally, CIRAD and AU-IBAR are actively pursuing collaboration in the management of health challenges at the human-wildlife-environment interface through targeted research and development of disease surveillance toolkits.
