Scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) rely on working with laboratory animals to research infectious diseases in more detail and to understand the complex interactions between pathogens and their hosts. To this end, the HZI operates a central animal facility for breeding and keeping mice and hamsters.

Leukemia is the most common cancer in children. Cancer treatment severely weakens the children's immune system and they can easily develop opportunistic infections. One of the most common causes of such complications is the cytomegalovirus (CMV) from the herpes virus family. The department “Viral Immunology” headed by Prof. Luka Cicin-Sain at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is now investigating immunotherapy options against CMV. The project is enabled by a donation from the Günter Hansmeier Krebsstiftung in Braunschweig, which is funding the position of a doctoral researcher for three years.

Fabian Leendertz, Director of the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) in Greifswald, and his team have been working for more than a decade in the south of the Central African Republic, in the Dzanga Sangha Conservation Areas. As part of a close collaboration with the WWF of the Central African Republic, the HIOH supports the monitoring of the health status of wildlife in these protected areas, with a focus on lowland gorillas. Over the years, activities have been expanded to better characterize the interface between humans, animals and the environment in this extraordinary ecosystem.
