Set up in November 2021, the epidemiological surveillance group led by Céline DUPUY (ANSES Lyon/ESA platform) and Harold NOËL (Santé Publique France) 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 in the world. These meetings are also an opportunity to deal with certain current events in a more precise manner.

A panel of presenters has been identified in order to have a good representation of the territories and areas of surveillance in human and animal health. The experts are also asked to bring up subjects that can be discussed during these meetings.

On March 30, 2023, the two thesis grant projects selected in the 1st Arbo-France/ANRS|MIE call for applications were presented.

1. Development of the Sterile and the Incompatible Insect Techniques (SIT-IIT) as part of integrated Aedes albopictus control in Mexico.

Co-direction: Frédéric Simard & David Roiz

2. How insecticide resistance can affect Wolbachia-induced resistance to arbovirus transmission.

Co-direction: Anna Bella Failloux & Nicolas Pocquet

On November 28, 2023, a day dedicated to the West Nile virus was held: “Towards an integrated West Nile virus surveillance strategy in France”.

You can consult the presentations here.

The workshop reports and round-table conclusions will follow shortly.

On September 28, 2023, Nathalie Dejucq Rainsford gave a presentation entitled “Arboviruses, sexual transmission & male reproductive system”.
