Opis projekta:
Glavni cilj projekta je vzpostavitev sistema zgodnjega opozarjanja na bolezni, ki jih prenašajo peščene muhe (Diptera, Phlebotominae), vključno z vsemi endemičnimi vrstami peščenih muh in glavnimi patogeni (paraziti Leishmania in flebovirusi).
Peščene muhe s svojim ugrizom prenašajo omenjene bolezni, in sicer tako, da s krvjo zaužijejo povzročitelje (parazite in fleboviruse) potema pa jih v enem od naslednjih hranjenj prenesejo na nove gostitelje. Peščene muhe se razmnožujejo v milejšem podnebnem pasu, zaradi segrevanja ozračja in klimatskih sprememb pa so se v zadnjih letih razširile proti severu Evrope. Najdemo jih v slovenski Istri, prisotne pa so tudi v Avstriji, južni Nemčiji, severni Italiji in Franciji.
Učinkovitih cepiv za zaviranje okužb, ki jih prenašajo peščene muhe, ni, prav tako v Evropi še ni vzpostavljenih struktur za spremljanje ali nadzor za peščene muhe in patogene, ki jih te prenašajo po vsej celini.
Projekt CLIMOS se bo problematike lotil celovito, z obravnavo pet dobro opredeljenih, merljivih, preverljivih in realistično konkretnih ciljev. Najprej z oceno vseh bolezni, ki jih prenašajo peščene muhe na območju Evrope, nato pa bo projekt, na podlagi strokovnega znanja mednarodnih raziskovalcev, združeval sistematično spremljanje vektorjev, terenske poskuse in identifikacijo patogenov z regionalno mikroklimo in zmožnostmi modeliranja podnebja in okolja v svetovnem merilu, pri čemer bo vključeval tudi sisteme opazovanja, kot je Copernicus (program Evropske unije za opazovanje Zemlje).
Pričakuje se, da bodo rezultati projekta CLIMOS zagotovili sistem zgodnjega opozarjanja in podporne strukture za natančnejše modeliranje podnebja, zdravja in napovedi tveganja okužbe. Končni cilj projekta je ustvariti napovedi, ki bodo pripomogle politiki odločanja, zagotoviti interaktivne zemljevide za obvladovanje tveganja in izvajanje ocen stroškov in koristi.
Projekt, ki je skupno vreden slabih 10 milijonov evrov, bo trajal 36 mesecev, sestavlja pa ga konzorcij 29 partnerjev iz 16 držav.

Description:
The main goal of the project is to establish an early warning system for diseases transmitted by sand-flies (Diptera, Phlebotominae), including all endemic sand fly vectors and the main pathogens (Leishmania parasites and phleboviruses).
Sand-flies transmit diseases with their bite by ingesting the pathogens (parasites and phleboviruses) through the blood and then transferring them to a new host during their next feedings. Sand-flies breed in a milder climate zone and have spread to northern Europe in recent years due to global warming and climate change. They are found in Istria, but also in Austria, southern Germany, northern Italy and France.
There are no effective vaccines to control sand-fly infections, and there are no surveillance or control structures in Europe for sand-flies and the pathogens they transmit.
CLIMOS takes on the challenge to redress this situation through the comprehensive assessment of the Sand Fly Borne Diseases (SFBDs) in Europe. Together, European and international expertise will combine systematic vector surveillance, field experiments and pathogen identification with regional microclimate and global scale climate and environment modelling capabilities, and observation systems (such as Copernicus) to address the five well-defined, measurable, verifiable, and realistic specific objectives.
The results of the CLIMOS project will provide an early warning system and supporting structures for more accurate climate modelling, health, and infection risk projections. The ultimate goal of the project is to produce forecasts that will help policy makers provide interactive maps for risk management and conduct cost-benefit assessments.
The project, with a total value of almost 10 million euros, will last 36 months and consists of a consortium of 29 partners from 16 countries.
