Research in Belgium uses animals to find effective treatments for Covid-19

The European Animal Research Association has put together an interactive map to display the biomedical research currently underway across the world to find a cure for coronavirus.

In Belgium, mice, hamsters, rabbits, llamas and monkeys are the animal models used to better understand Covid-19.

Basic Research

• KU Leuven - Understanding how coronavirus evolves and searching for virus inhibitors

• UZ Leuven - Understanding how coronavirus evolves and searching for virus inhibitors

Drug Development & Vaccines

• Coris BioConcept - Covid-19 antigen rapid test

• Ghent University - Potential antibody treatments

• VIB - Development of a COVID-19 drug

• Janssen - Vaccine candidate development

EARA has used the World Health Organisation's recorded list of studies and has also received information from many other institutions after it sent out an appeal to its membership and stakeholders.
