For a better control of animal diseases

EPIZONE is the Network of Excellence for Epizootic Disease Diagnosis and Control.
This European Union (EU) funded research project officially started on 1st of June 2006 and is supported by the EU’s Sixth Research Framework Programme with a total EU contribution of € 14million for the period of five years.

Goal of  EPIZONE
EPIZONE aims to develop a network of scientists to improve research on preparedness, prevention,detection, and control of epizootic diseases within Europe. Therefore the economic and social impact of future outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease, classical swine fever, avian influenza, and other relevant epizootic diseases like bluetongue and African swine fever, can be reduced through increased excellence by collaboration.
