The COVID-19 crisis demonstrated the enormous impact that epidemics can have on our societies.

This pandemic has shown that an integrative approach is absolutely essential if we are to improve our ability to prevent and combat them.

Finally, this approach is particularly important in the countries of the Global South, which are the front-line victims of these emerging diseases.

CoSav "One Health" aims to structure the IRD's research, visibility and operationalisation in this area through major themes, including in particular :

  •    Preventing the emergence of zoonoses, by characterising these emergence factors (global and societal changes) and imagining how they can be reduced,
  •     Carrying out intervention research, by being on the front line of these emergences, taking part in the epidemiological response as well as in the investigation into the origin of the emergence.
