Joint Research Labs
- Established Joint Laboratory of Veterinary Microbiology between HVRI and SVA
- As one of activities of the established Joint Laboratory between HVRI and SVA, Drs. Hua-Ji Qiu and Yuzi Luo from HVRI made a one-week visit to SVA on October 18-23, 2015. During the visit, they attended the 1st Workshop of SVA-HVRI Joint Laboratory of Veterinary Microbiology on Swine Diseases. Firstly, Dr. Frederik Widén from SVA hosted the workshop, and gave an introduction to SVA. Dr. Qiu introduced HVRI and gave an overview of the situation of swine diseases in China. He stressed that effective control of swine infectious diseases in China represents a challenging and long-term task. Dr. Renström from SVA gave an introduction to swine influenza surveillance in Sweden. Dr. Isaksson from SVA presented the molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases in SVA. Dr. Luo gave a presentation on the characterization of reemerged pseudorabies virus variant in China and vaccine development. Prof. Elvander from SVA introduced the animal disease surveillance in Sweden. Dr Karl Ståhl presented African swine fever situation in Europe. During the meeting, Dr. Qiu and Dr. Luo met many leading scientists on transboundary animal diseases and discussed how to deepen collaborations between SVA and HVRI. During the visit Dr. Qiu also visited the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), attended the seminar on the control of infections in cattle organized by SLU, and discussed animal disease control and the possible collaborations in the future with some virologists at SLU. In addition, Dr. Luo further evaluated the Erns -ELISA for CSFV and the PCR for ASFV developed in HVRI, which has led to the improvement of the diagnostic tests.
- Established Joint Laboratory of Animal Infectious Diseases between SHVRI and SVA
- Within the framework of the LinkTADs project, Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute (SHVRI), CAAS, and National Veterinary Institute, Sweden (SVA), agreed to set up a joint laboratory of animal infectious disease. The aim of the joint laboratory is to improve control and prevention of animal infectious disease through the following joint activities:
- Enhancing research collaboration on selected topic like novel diagnostic assays for early detection of pathogens;
- Jointly applying for grants from China, Sweden or EU;
- Exchange and training of scientists and students; and
- Exchange of disease information and protocols for diagnostic assays.
- Within the framework of the LinkTADs project, Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute (SHVRI), CAAS, and National Veterinary Institute, Sweden (SVA), agreed to set up a joint laboratory of animal infectious disease. The aim of the joint laboratory is to improve control and prevention of animal infectious disease through the following joint activities:
- Signed: Agreement on collaborative research on JEV between SHVRI and CIRAD
- With the help of LinkTADs project, and also collaboration of JEV project which has been founded by the China-EU international S&T collaboration program, Ministry of S&T, China, SHVRI and CIRAD plan to set up a joint laboratory of vector-borne Zoonoses. The aim of the joint laboratory is to improve control and prevention of vector-borne Zoonoses through the following joint activities:
- Enhancing research collaboration on selected topic like eco-epidemiology of some vector-borne pathogens;
- Jointly applying for grants from China and France or EU;
- Exchange and training of scientists and students;
- Exchange of disease information and protocals for epidemiologic assay, diagonostic assay.
