A New Orthobunyavirus in Cattle
The first scientific article based on the dissertation of Mikail Kelleci, a doctoral student at EUR UNITEID at the École Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse (ENVT), highlights the detection of a new Shamonda-type Orthobunyavirus in numerous cattle farms in
First International Summer School on Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases
From August 24 to 28, 2026, Toulouse hosted the first international interdisciplinary summer school organized by EUR UNITEID—the University of Toulouse Graduate School of Emerging Infectious Diseases—dedicated to vector-borne emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses,
#NEO-I3D | Tomorrow's Epidemics: Are We Ready?
During a training session held in May as part of the e-CARE program at Toulouse University Hospital, Prof. Guillaume Martin-Blondel of the Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at Toulouse University Hospital and co-coordinator of the research area
From forest to fork: Mapping zoonotic risks in tropical bushmeat systems through a One Health lens
Many infectious diseases that affect humans originate in animals. Understanding where these pathogens circulate and how they can spread to human populations is one of the major challenges facing global health today. My thesis on
First UNITEID-certified teaching session on the management of a patient suspected of having an Epidemic and Biological Risk infection at the Institut Toulousain de Simulation en Santé.
On Thursday May 28, 2026, eight interns in the Diplôme d'Etudes Spécialisées (DES) de Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales and DES de Biologie Médicale programs took part in a training session on the management of an epidemic and biological risk (REB) from a pathogen.
The call for applications for the UNITEID Summer School is open!
The first edition of UNITEID's interdisciplinary «One Health» Summer School will be held from August 24 to 28, 2026 in Toulouse, on the theme of emerging vector-borne and zoonotic infectious diseases. Applications are accepted until
PhD grants 2026: UNITEID Graduate School launches its call for projects
UNITEID is launching a call for doctoral grants to support interdisciplinary research in the field of emerging infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance. This call is aimed at students wishing to carry out a research project in the following fields
Summer School 2026
The first edition of the UNITEID International Interdisciplinary Summer School will be held from August 24 to 28, 2026 at the Cité Internationale in Toulouse, on the theme of arboviroses. Five guest scientists will give lectures in epidemiology, microbiology, molecular biology and molecular biology.
Winter School: the EUR alliance in the face of emerging diseases
EUR UNITEID took part in the first Inter-EUR thematic school, dedicated to transdisciplinarity around the themes of antibiotic resistance, artificial intelligence, the “One Health” approach and emerging viruses. From January 19 to 23, 2026, fifteen students and Ph.
Evaluation of the contribution of clinical metagenomics using 3rd generation sequencing for the identification of emerging viruses
Viral diseases represent a major health risk for both humans and animals. Rapid, robust identification and typing of viral agents is a scientific and medical priority, and calls for «pipelines» that combine
From hosts to pathogens: One Health genomic monitoring of microbiome dynamics related to the bushmeat trade in Africa.
This thesis project explores emerging zoonotic diseases within socio-ecological systems, with a particular focus on bushmeat networks in West Africa. By focusing on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics of two
Study of antibiotic tolerance and persistence mechanisms in enterobacteria
This project directly addresses the threat of emerging infectious diseases by studying antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains associated with difficult-to-treat infections. Tolerance and persistence are clinical challenges:
Axonogenesis in pulmonary tuberculosis: characterization of innervation, Schwann cells and their functional roles
Tuberculosis is a priority infectious disease due to its global impact, risk of reactivation and drug resistance. By studying neurological and immune mechanisms, in particular interactions between Schwann cells,
