In addition to scientific evaluation of user requests for Infravec2 products and services, performed by a Selection Panel to determine the eligibility of the submitted project, all user requests for Infravec2 live vector resources will be subject to ecological risk assessment, based on ECDC vector distribution maps and Infravec2 internal or externally solicited expertise.

The expected outcomes of the described ecological risk assessment, might be the following, depending on the severity of the risk:

• The requestor might be asked to provide further justifications of infrastructure, expertise and history in handling the requested species.
• The request might be rejected in cases where ecological risk of species introduction is assessed as too high.

For any request for additional information, please contact: Infravec2 TNA Manager, Héloïse Lemoine
