The final meeting of the VHFMoDRAD project took place in Paris in November. All the partners from Sweden, France, UK, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Senegal, USA, Turkey and Germany presented the huge achievements of the project for the development of innovative and novel diagnostic tools for haemorrhagic fever virus diseases. These diagnostic tools will significantly increase our capacity to handle outbreaks and our preparedness allowing quickly identification of viruses before the epidemic spreads out.
