Ongoing research projects

ASU is an internal NVI project for activities on sales and use of antibacterials not related to a research project.

In cooperation with Animalia, the project intends to increase the knowledge of diseases causing death or serious illness in backyard chickens, by urging owners and veterinarians to send dead birds for necropsy to the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. The knowledge gained from this project will be distributed and is expected to increase the knowledge and competence of veterinarians and owners.

Piscirickettsiosis is an emerging disease in farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway, Scotland and Ireland. The project will primarily investigate similarities/differences in management of the disease in these countries and characterize the population structure of the causative agent (Piscirickettsia salmonis) in the North Atlantic area.

The mission of EU-JAMRAI 2 is to lead the fight against AMR through joint and coordinated action across Europe. The project partners are committed to promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among countries, institutions, and sectors, to safeguard the effectiveness of antimicrobials and protect public health, now and in the future.

MyMatch is a EU-financed project focussing on the effects of climatic change on the contamination of food and feed chain with mycotoxins. The climate change has already changed the levels of mycotoxins in the feed and food chain. The occurrence of extreme weather such as drought, heavy rainfalls and flooding is also expected to have an impact on the levels of mycotoxins in crop plants.

The overall aim of the project is to contribute to improved horse welfare by increasing people's awareness and deeper understanding of what a horse is and its cognitive abilities.

NFI will together with NIBIO map the occurrence of ergot alkaloids in Norwegian grain and the occurrence of ergot sclerotia in rye in the field. I these fields we will also exaine the role of potential risk factors such as the surrounding vegetation.

This project used infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) to study virus-endothelium interactions in Atlantic salmon.

Investigations of protected bird species are conducted on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency and was first initiated in 2003 to map the causes of death among tagged birds of prey.

The goal of the CRC-3p-project is to trace the carcinogenic potential of red meat and plant-based meat alternatives to reveal the significance of the protein source and the degree of processing (unprocessed, processed, ultra-processed) on colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Additionally, CRC-3p aims to elucidate how dietary patterns may influence the carcinogenic potential of the different processed foods.
