The INSTEAD project wins the 3rd PEPR PREZODE call for proposals

Nous avons le grand plaisir de vous annoncer que le projet INSTEAD, que vous avait été présenté à l’occasion de de notre Assemblé générale annuelle du 15 novembre dernier a été sélectionné dans le cadre de la 3ème Vague des appels à projet 2024.

Le INSTEAD projectcoordinated by Gaelle Gonzalesvirologist (ANSES) focuses on West Nile (WNV) and Usutu (USUV) arboviruses, transmitted by mosquitoes and maintained in birds, which are becoming endemic in Europe, posing a growing threat in France. The INSTEAD project aims to strengthen surveillance and early detection of these viruses through an integrated "One Health" approach, bringing together 17 laboratories and various local and national players. It is developing innovative detection tools and co-constructing a cross-sector monitoring system to improve preparedness for these emerging risks.

Bravo à Gaëlle et à toute l’équipe que nous retrouverons bientôt dans la grande famille PREZODE et de la ZACAM pour de futures collaborations et échanges !
