New AntiVirals 

for Infections 

with Pandemic 

Potential

For infectious disease management and control, vaccines are considered golden countermeasures 
but are not the most adequate tool for mitigating 
the early effects of an outbreak.

Taking the recent COVID-19 pandemic as an example, access to broadly applicable therapeutic antivirals would have had a major impact, decreasing the human toll of the disease, and alleviating the burden carried by health care systems. It is urgent to focus resources and efforts on the development of broad spectrum antiviral drugs against unknown pathogens.

The New AntiVirals for Infections with Pandemic Potential (NAVIPP) consortium aims to strengthen the EU’s readiness and response capacity to viral threats by assembling an international R&D platform for antiviral drug development against pandemic prone pathogens.

  • 🧬 A hidden virus revealed

    NAVIPP Scientific Watch Serie In the quiet bushland of Queensland, Australia, researchers collected urine samples from flying foxes as part of routine Hendra virus surveillance. What they found was unexpected: a completely new member of the henipavirus family, now named Salt Gully virus (SGV). This discovery, recently published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, highlights how pathogens…

  • 🧬 NAVIPP Scientific Watch Introduction

    Preparing for the unknown Viruses have shaped human history — and will continue to do so. Some, like influenza or coronaviruses, emerge suddenly and spread fast. Others, such as Nipah or Marburg, lurk quietly in wildlife before spilling over into human populations. Each new outbreak reminds us that preparedness is the strongest defense against pandemic…
