UiB has received 5.3 million euros from the EU for the PRoRota project, which will investigate whether probiotics, better hygiene education and mathematical models can reduce child mortality related to diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries. The project tests whether probiotics can improve the effect of the rotavirus vaccine in a large study with 4,000 newborns in Tanzania, Malawi and Ivory Coast. In addition, a warning system for rotavirus outbreaks is being developed and research is being conducted on how WASH routines can work better in practice.
