Complementary Information
Support for additional work on African Swine Fever and associated stockpiling of emergency-use product to stop and control outbreaks was anticipated, this would increase the working time to at least 3 FTE at 75%. To date the subsidy request to prepare for an ASF outbreak in Europe was denied, new approaches will be considered to continue our work on antiviral agents to block the disease and reduce the impact of a potential outbreak.

Other activities
Dr Vytenis Andriukaitis requested ViroVet to contact the commission in the second half of 2016 to start a dialogue on how technologies currently in development at ViroVet could assist the European Commission in preventing and/or controlling outbreaks of viral diseases like African Swine Fever, Food-and-mouth Disease, Rift Valley Fever, Peste des Petits Ruminents, etcetera. Since the outbreak of ASF in Belgium in September 2018, contacts with the European Commission may be reactivated.
