Veterinarians and doctors at the University Hospital Institute Mediterranee Infection (IHU) in Marseille, France, have been conducting epidemiological investigations for nearly thirty years, focusing on zoonotic infections between humans and animals. They have published 76 peer-reviewed articles on their studies, which have led to the detection of around thirty zoonotic pathogens and embody an original implementation of the One Health concept.
At the University Hospital Institute Mediterranee Infection (IHU, Marseille, France), for almost thirty years, veterinarians have been carrying out epidemiological investigations, together with doctors, on animals living near human cases of zoonoses, on the one hand, and on the other hand, transverse and longitudinal epidemiological surveillance studies on animals which are reservoirs, vectors or sentinels of potentially zoonotic infections,. This article presents the methods adopted and the results obtained from these studies. They have been the subject of 76 peer-reviewed publications relating to wild animals (37 publications) and/or domestic animals (48 publications). These studies were often carried out in the field with veterinarians from the French army's health service (39 publications). They were at the origin of the detection of some thirty zoonotic pathogens in the laboratories of the IHU (64 publications) and/or other French laboratories (18 publications). Our approach is an original embodiment of the One Health concept.
