1 – Working groups
The Arbo-France network has set up four working groups:
- Arbovirus Epidemic Preparedness and Response WG to draw up recommendations on the measures to be implemented in response to different emergence scenarios.
- WBE-Arbo WG to set up a feasibility study on assessing the presence of arboviruses in wastewater as a tool for epidemiological surveillance of dengue, in collaboration between the Arbo-France and Obépine networks.
- Dengue Vaccine WG to build a collaborative research programme between the Arbo-France and I-Reivac networks. This programme will include support for vaccination against the dengue virus in the overseas territories.
- Research and Innovation WG for Zoonotic Arbovirus Surveillance
