What do we do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MIAC group conducts basic, translational, and clinical research. The research group focuses on infectious and inflammatory diseases, primarily in dogs, cats, and horses, covering aspects of epidemiology, genetics, pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, prevention, and the “One Health” perspective. The most relevant zoonotic infectious diseases studied by the MIAC group include canine, feline, and equine leishmaniasis, West Nile virus, and human, canine, and feline bartonellosis. Additionally, the group also works on other zoonotic infectious diseases such as rickettsiosis, anaplasmosis, and filariasis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Furthermore, the group conducts research on non-zoonotic infectious
diseases such as canine and feline demodicosis, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis,
hemoplasmosis, feline retroviral infections, bacterial cholangitis, and
canine pyoderma. The team is also actively working on non-infectious
inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases in dogs and cats, including
sterile neutrophilic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, otitis externa and media,
immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, immune-mediated
thrombocytopenia, and polyarthritis, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the group also carries out research in transfusion and
regenerative medicine, coagulation disorders, platelet function, and
endocrine diseases such as diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Objective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The overall objective of the MIAC research group is to enhance excellence in
research, increase internationalization, and improve knowledge transfer in
various aspects of infectious and inflammatory diseases in companion animals.
This is achieved through a multidisciplinary approach under the “One Health”
framework and comparative biomedicine concepts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Additional Goals of MIAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its research activities, MIAC aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Disseminate and transfer research findings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provide training for veterinary postgraduates (interns and residents) as
    well as professionals in veterinary, health, and life sciences on various
    aspects related to infectious and inflammatory diseases in companion
    animals. This includes organizing congresses, workshops, and seminars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote a multidisciplinary approach under the “One Health” framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
