CamVac - Campylobacter vaccination of Poultry
CamVac is funded by the Danish Council of Strategic Research (Det Strategiske Forskningsråd).
The aim of the project is to develop a cost-effective vaccine strategy, based on three current candidate vaccines and delivery systems.
One work package is devoted to each of the three vaccine candidates from Denmark, Netherlands and USA
A fourth work package deals with economics, statistics, risk assessment and bioethics.
