Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
Collaboration in work packages related with animal health in domestic and wild animals.
The University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) is a public Spanish university. Its Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has strong expertise in animal health, zoonoses and public health, contributing to research, surveillance and policy support within a One Health framework.
UNIZAR’s activities in vector-borne disease surveillance and control supported through a broad portfolio of competitive grants and service contracts from regional, national and European authorities, including the Spanish Ministries of
Health and of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as well as European initiatives such as COST Actions.
The University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) has extensive experience supporting risk analysis through long-term surveillance, applied research, and close collaboration with public authorities. Within UNIZAR, Ignacio de Blas Giral has wide expertise in
formal risk analysis in aquatic animal health, particularly in fish and shrimp diseases, while Ignacio Ruiz-Arrondo coordinates activities related to vector surveillance and control. UNIZAR has played a key role in generating the
entomological, epidemiological and ecological evidence required to underpin risk assessment and preparedness for vector-borne diseases. In this context, UNIZAR designed and coordinated the National Entomological Surveillance Plan for
Bluetongue for the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, and it has coordinated since its inception the National Programme for Entomological Surveillance in Airports and Ports targeting invasive and competent mosquito vectors, funded by the
Ministry of Health. UNIZAR also leads the Interreg POCTEFA PyrTick project, a trans-Pyrenean cross-border network addressing gaps in tick and tick-borne pathogen surveillance through harmonized sampling and the development of
current and climate-scenario-based risk maps. In addition, UNIZAR participates with local authorities for the implementation of the regional Vector-Borne Disease Surveillance and Response Plan, and maintains contracts with private companies to improve diagnostic tools for vector-borne diseases, and contributes to multiple research projects on vectors and vector-borne pathogens, providing robust evidence to support risk assessment and risk management decisions.
