The aim of the European Virus Archive project is to create and mobilise a European network of high calibre centres with the appropriate expertise, to collect, amplify, characterise, standardise, authenticate, distribute and track, mammalian and other exotic viruses. The EVA project is establishing a web-based catalogue to advertise and distribute viruses in the collection as well as associated products. In addition the EVA network also produce associated reagents on demand, to laboratories throughout Europe and also worldwide.

Video: Virus Hunters
Increasing population densities, global transportation, irrigation, altered farming and forestry practices, climate change, etc., are the major reason for the emergence and re-emergence of pathogenic viruses. This trend is likely to continue and emerging diseases will arise with increasing rapidity and frequency. The importance of developing effective vaccines and antiviral drugs to reduce the impact of these pathogens cannot be overemphasized.
Virus hunters are a pack of epidemiologists, virologists, and infectious disease experts who are fast on bugs’ tail, looking for answers that will help us to control their spread.
