砂传染病中心参与英国资助研究 追踪非洲猪瘟病毒
-
砂拉越传染病中心(SIDC)将与砂兽医服务局合作,参与英国资助的非洲猪瘟研究,把病毒基因资料及本地养殖经验纳入跨国研究。
SIDC在10月8日的声明中说明,这项计划由University of Sheffield牵头,项目获得340万英镑资助,参与机构还包括University of Liverpool及泰国National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology(BIOTEC)。这笔金额是整项研究的资助,不代表全部拨给SIDC。
研究重点是病毒的基因多样性、演变及传播因素。团队拟通过全基因组测序,推动SIDC成为区域基因组参考中心,并为养殖户、兽医机构及政策制定者提供管理疾病所需的证据。
英国研究与创新署(UKRI)10月7日公布的新一批资助项目名单,也列有这项由Sheffield牵头、涵盖英国与东南亚的非洲猪瘟研究。
对砂州养猪业而言,现阶段的意义是本地机构参与建立病毒资料与研究能力,而不是已经推出新的农场治疗或疫苗服务。研究目标与完成成果仍须分开看,不能把获资助视为防疫成效已经得到证明。
