ICONZ : Integrated Control of Neglected Zoonoses.

This project aims at Improving Human Health and Animal Production in developing countries through Integrated Control of Neglected Zoonoses in animals, based on Scientific Innovation and Public Engagement.

ICONZ aims to tackle eight neglected zoonoses: Anthrax, Bovine Tuberculosis, Brucellosis, Cysticercosis, Echinococcosis, Leishmaniasis, Rabies and Human African Trypanosomiasis.

But what makes ICONZ unique is its interdisciplinary structure – involving vets, medical doctors, basic scientists, epidemiologists and social scientists (to name but a few). This expertise is gathered from 21 partner institutions located across Africa and Europe.
