Set up in November 2021, the epidemiological surveillance group led by Céline DUPUY (ANSES Lyon/ESA Platform), Harold NOËL (Santé Publique France), Sylvie LECOLLINET (CIRAD) and Christophe PEYREFITTE (Institut Pasteur de Guyane), organises monthly meetings with all the experts.

The aim of these meetings is to review the circulation of human and animal arboviruses in France (mainland and overseas territories) and around the world. These meetings are also an opportunity to discuss certain current events in greater detail.

A panel of presenters has been identified to ensure a good representation of territories and areas of surveillance in human and animal health. Experts are also asked to bring forward topics for discussion at these meetings.

Users of the presentations available on the Arbo-france.fr website undertake to request authorisation from the authors to re-use the data.

As part of the Epidemiological Surveillance group, we organised a meeting on the arbovirus situation in South America on 24 April 2024.
