The emergence logo was designed to represent the key aspects of transboundary and emerging diseases, namely that they are continuously moving and overlapping, they occur across countries, regions and throughout the world, and that collaboration is central to their prevention, control and elimination.

Research
Research is central to what we do, both within company and in collaboration with leading institutes and universities. By rapidly recognising emerging threats we developed vaccines for Bluetongue Serotype 8 (Bovilis® BTV8) and Schmallenberg Disease (Bovilis® SBV). We regularly develop new FMD strains in response to changing epidemiology.

We believe in making a difference. That is why we donate vaccines to rabies elimination programs in Africa and Asia, and support FMD research in East Africa. We also raise awareness and advance science through various awards (Rabies Hero, World Rabies Day, FMD Research).
