Abstract

Our overall goal is to establish a multidisciplinary approach to advance Protein Glycan Coupling Technology for the development of a new generation of veterinary vaccines. Specific objectives will be to: (i) Construct, develop and test triple poultry vaccines against Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and Clostridium perfringens, and against Salmonella, Campylobacter and Clostridium perfringens. (ii) Produce a dual Coxiella and Clostridium perfringens vaccine. (iii) Improve the utility, efficacy and applicability of Protein Glycan Coupling Technology for glycoconjugate vaccinology and for further glycobiotechnological applications. (iv) Develop a more detailed understanding of glycobiosynthetic pathways in Coxiella and other pathogenic bacteria. (v) Establish a cohort of UK scientists with multidisciplinary expertise related to veterinary vaccinology. (vi) Advance the principles of "One Health Medicine" to benefit both human and animal health.
