One Health PACT
Predicting Arboviruses Climate Tipping points
The One Health PACT consortium is a research collaboration that brings together experts from various disciplines across the Netherlands. We aim to gain systemic understanding of mosquito-borne diseases and of how their emergence and transmission is influenced by major environmental and social changes.
About One Health PACT
About
The Netherlands is particularly vulnerable to outbreaks of viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes due to its water-dominated landscape, dense humans and livestock population and the expected establishment of new mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Separated and reaction-based research efforts into the numerous factors interplaying in the emergence of viral outbreaks, however results in disconnected research findings and critical factors unstudied. The One Health PACT is a research collaboration of experts in a wide variety of fields relevant for infectious disease outbreaks, ranging from ecological and climate modelling to medical entomology, virology and public health.
Partners
The One Health PACT project takes place within a multidisciplinary research field. The aim of our project is to extensively look into all aspects of preparedness of potential arboviral introduction and spread. To reach this goal, many partners from different fields are involved. Among those partners are the universities, where our PhD students and Post-doc are located. In addition to that, the NWO financed this project together with several co-financiers that all provide their expertise in different research fields. Lastly, there are national and international collaborating partners involved in the project by sharing data and knowledge with our researchers. An overview of all the partners is given below.

Nu al muggen, maar 'niet alles wat voor mug wordt uitgescholden is er eentje'
Volgens bioloog Arnold van Vliet moeten we "steeds meer rekening houden met muggen in de winter".

Mosquito “dispersal may be considerably more important than previously thought, where adult Cx. pipiens seek out the most suitable habitat for survival (parks) and breeding success (resident gardens).” @OneHealthPact
