Research Infrastructures for the control of vector-borne diseases

Deliverables

List of new distributable P. falciparum clones

Parasite clones will be isolated by limiting dilution adapted to culture conditions and selected for stable performance in culture Infection and development in the vector will be confirmed and clones will be listed for distribution

Manuscript: Minimum information necessary for the reproduction of infection studies (with WP2)

Poor reproducibility of scientific results is increasingly recognised as a problem in science, with the information provided within many published studies insufficient for replication, and this is a particular problem within insect infection studies due to the small size of the field and the additional constraints of differing national biosafety requirements. We will identify and publish guidelines on the minimum information which should be reported to allow artificial infection studies to be replicated in other laboratories, increasing the value of future infection studies.

List of new genetic editing tools

Gene docking lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 system will be made in Aedes mosquitoes to allow insertion and combination of multiple transgenes. The efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in Anopheles mosquitoes will be improved, and will be extended to additional important Anopheles vector species.

Intermediate and final statistics on access provided by beneficiaries

Categorized access data will be reported for use of facilities by type facility and country

Manuscript: Effect of field variation in larval environment, adult environment and host viraemia for vectorial capacity and effect of rearing on vector competence

Building upon D31 and D35 we will measure the variation seen in adult traits influencing vectorial capacity particularly competence under levels of variation in larval environment found in the field

Final report technical and scientific advancements of the Transnational access including final statistics

Final data will be reported on the technical efficiency and other relevant technical and scientific parameters of the access provision

Operational Citizen Science tool to integrate public stakeholder knowledge

A standardized Citizen Science platform will be developed with a common informatics tool to facilitate collection and dissemination of scientific information across European partner countries. There will be a common organizational backbone that unifies initiatives within Europe.

Manuscript: Comparison of mosquito larval environments using standardized guidelines and kit

We will conduct and publish a pilot study describing the variation in natural vector larval populations to broaden awareness of differences between the ways larval environments are simulated in the laboratory against how they actually vary in the field.

Standard protocols and baselines: Leishmania-sand fly infections

Infection rates and infectivity of Leishmania amastigotes in the sand fly are optimised and standardised

Standard protocols and baselines: Toscana virus-sand fly infections

Infection rates, dissemination and transmission of Toscana arboviruses in the sand flies are established and experimental baselines are standardised.

Review on history of mosquito control methods and human impact.

The report will detail the history of mosquito control highlight earlier insect control measures that are overlooked but may still have utility Attention will be focused not only on elucidating past measures of mosquito control but also on contextualizing the societal project of commanding natural processes for human benefit

Technical and scientific advancements of TNA program including intermediate statistics on access

Data will be reported on the technical efficiency and other relevant technical and scientific parameters of the access provision.

List of new mosquito colonies adapted for insectary conditions

New mosquito colonies of major current and potential vectors of human diseases will be established from field collections. The colonies will be stably adapted to insectary conditions, will be listed as Infravec colonies, distributed to the community.

Protocols for alternative rearing/infection/incubation conditions

Conditions during experimental infection studies are a tradeoff between reflecting field conditions and achieving adequate emergence feeding and survival rates We will develop and publish protocols for variant rearing infection and incubation conditions and describe the resulting tradeoff in emergence feeding and survival to allow a broader range of field conditions to be consistently represented in laboratory studies increasing the relevance of the results for field conditions

Intermediate Report (from an external international board)

A report on the establishment and provision of access to the INFRAVEC2 virtual resources (grant years 1-2).A report on the establishment and provision of access to the INFRAVEC2 virtual resources (grant years 1-2).

Draft roadmap towards a business model for commercial sustainability

The draft will propose a strategy for development of a sustainable business model for commercialization of products and services of Infravec2 during and beyond the lifecycle of EU funding The draft will propose a profit share model based on the principles of a minimum profit margin and a value split between the partner that provides the service and the consortium

Product development: Validation of individual assays for the ArboVec-Disk for species ID, insecticide resistance traits and pathogens/symbionts

We will develop novel diagnostics using low-cost platforms to allow the easier characterisation of cryptic species composition, insecticide resistance and coinfection status. By month 18 individual assays will have been shown to have the potential to affect the ability of vector insects to transmit pathogens and which are typically not reflected in artificial infection study design.

Standard protocols and baselines: Plasmodium-Anopheles infections

Infection rates and infectivity Plasmodium infection experiments in An. coluzzii Infravec2 lines are optimised and standardised by two independent laboratories.
