Thermographie als bildgebendes Verfahren zur Ergänzung der Diagnostik bei entzündlichen und raumfordernden Erkrankungen im Kopfbereich des Pferdes
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. Hermann Seifert; Prof. Dr. Bernhard Ohnesorge; Dr. Maren Hellige; Dipl.-Ing. Carsten Siewert
Duration: Beginning 2014 until Beginning 2026
Project Details:
The aim of the work is to record temperature distribution patterns on the horse's head using an infrared camera and to investigate possible connections with pathological processes in the area of ​​the nose, nasal passages, paranasal sinuses and teeth. Furthermore, the influence of various external parameters should be examined. In addition, the influence of patient-related parameters on the IR image is examined.

Experimental investigations using an opto-electronic measuring device (Perometer 1000 P) for determination of the volume of horse legs
Experimentelle Untersuchungen mit einem optoelektronischen Messgerät (Perometer 1000 P) zur Volumenbestimmung von Pferdebeinen
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. Hermann Seifert; Dr. Sascha A. Bräuninger; TÄ Sarah Aurenz
Duration: Beginning 2013 until Beginning 2026
Project Details:
The aim of the work is to investigate the clinical applicability of the new perometer 1000 P for determining the volume of paw legs. In this context, the measuring accuracy of this new type of perometer in comparison to an older type of perometer (type 1000 K) is to be determined. The aim is to clarify which technical differences exist compared to the previous model, how reliably and precisely the perometer measures compared to this, which sources of error the measurement method contains and how these can be minimized if necessary.

Occurrence of ticks and tick-borne pathogens
Vorkommen von Zecken und zeckenübertragenen Pathogenen
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. C. Strube, PhD; Dr. A. Springer
Duration: Beginning 2010 until Mid 2026
Funding: EU-Interreg, Bavarian Nordic, 270.000 EUR
Project Details:
Ticks transmit various human and animal pathogens. With regard to pathogens, the vector function of ticks for the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex), human and animal granulocytic anaplasmosis and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE virus) is of particular importance. Studies on the abundance and distribution of ticks and their pathogens are therefore essential for assessing the One Health risk. Regarding tick-transmitted pathogens, this project collects data not only for Germany but also at the international level.

Spatial modelling based on survey data of harbour porpoises collected in the management area of the Belt Sea population
Räumliche Modellierung von Surveydaten von Schweinswalen, die im Managementgebiet der Belt-See-Population erhoben wurden
Project Investigators: Prof. Prof. h. c. Dr. Ursula Siebert; Dr. Anita Gilles
Duration: July 2025 until Novemer 2025
Funding: Aarhus University, Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (DCE), 27.329 EUR
Project Details:
The aim of the project is to process the survey data from the summer period and aggregate the quality-checked data for the Belt-Sea-Region in the period 2005-2024; or a period close to that depending on data and model checking. An extraction of relevant environmental covariates, describing the habitat of harbour porpoises, and a fit of a species distribution model (generalized additive model GAM) is planned. The final selected model enables the spatial prediction of the harbour porpoise summer density in the study area. Subsequently, a model validation, estimation of the model error and confidence intervals is planned. Finally, a short technical report will be written to describe the method and the results with a focus on Danish Belt-Sea-Region.

Updating the report on the importance of the whale sanctuary in the S.-H. Wadden Sea National Park for harbour porpoises
Aktualisierung des Berichts zur Bedeutung des Walschutzgebietes im Nationalpark Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer für Schweinswale
Project Investigators: Prof. Prof. h. c. Dr. Ursula Siebert; Dr. Anita Gilles
Duration: April 2025 until June 2025
Funding: LKN, 5.885 EUR
Project Details:
Since 2002, ITAW has been conducting aerial surveys for harbour porpoises in the EEZ and the 12sm zone of the German North Sea. A dedicated monitoring of harbour porpoises in the North Sea and Baltic Sea has been carried out in projects of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) since 2008. Within the framework of this survey and monitoring, valuable data series on the spatio-temporal occurrence and density of harbour porpoises could be collected including the area of the whale sanctuary in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park.
ITAW also has proven expertise in bioacoustics and acoustic monitoring of cetaceans. Porpoise click detectors (PODs) have already been used in numerous projects to study harbour porpoise habitat use. The LKN POD monitoring has been operated by ITAW since 2011 and data on acoustic harbour porpoise activity could also be collected in the area of the whale sanctuary in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea.
The aim of the project is to update a previous report on the importance of the small whale sanctuary as a habitat for harbour porpoises for feeding and as a calving and breeding area, using most recent data.
