The OneTick project, coordinated by the Medical University of Bialystok, has has been selected for funding under the MSCA Staff Exchanges 2024 call.
OneTick will explore tick-borne diseases through a One Health lens, linking human, animal, and environmental factors. The project will model how climate change is reshaping tick distribution in urban and peri-urban spaces like parks, gardens, and playgrounds, with the goal of improving risk prediction and control strategies. Additionally, OneTick aims to support a common EU framework for diagnosing, reporting, and managing tick-borne diseases.
The proposal was co-authored by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Medical University of Bialystok (Michał Burdukiewicz, Anna Moniuszko-Malinowska, Jarosław Chilimoniuk and Valentin Iglesias) and twelve other institutions. The Medical University of Bialystok will lead OneTick, with Michał Burdukiewicz serving as project coordinator.
