Animal models for lead selection against vector borne parasitic diseases within the One Health concept
Abstract
Within OneHealthdrugs we strive to discover new drugs against vector borne diseases with a minimal environmental impact. Animal infection models in combination with a thorough in vitro characterization of potency and selectivity represent indispensable tools for drug discovery.
In the transition from in vitro to in vivo evaluation we adhere to and advocate for the 3R principles (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement). This workshop will therefore cover several aspects of preclinical research in animal models, including principles of 3R and reporting according to the ARRIVE guidelines. As part of the refinement and reduction of animal research, several new imaging technologies have found their introduction in drug discovery for infectious diseases. The workshop also aims to cover some limitations of animal models and to offer a broader perspective beyond mouse models.
The workshop will consist of invited presentations and communications based on abstract selection.
Given the upcoming online WG3 workshop we are launching a call for abstracts within this theme. The deadline for abstract submission is 6th August.
