Dans le cadre de ses missions et depuis sa création, l’InVS a
développé des programmes de surveillance et des études épidémiologiques
dans le domaine des zoonoses d’origine alimentaire (salmonelloses, listerioses,
etc) hors pour les zoonoses non alimentaires, les actions ont été plus
restreintes et non planifiées. Since its creation the Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS) has developed several surveillance programmes and carried out epidemiological studies on foodborne zoonoses (salmonellosis, listeriosis, etc). For non-foodborne zoonoses actions have been more restricted and were not carried out on an ad hoc basis. Heterogeneous diseases (parasitic, viral, bacterial diseases) belong to this group. Some of them are rare in France (Tick Borne Encephalitis), or have a limited geographical distribution which depends on the vector distribution (Leishmanioses). Some of them have been identified recently (Lyme disease), others are emergent or re-emergent (West Nile Virus infection). Human and veterinary epidemiological data are insufficient and don’t permit to assess their public health importance nor the need of implementing (or modifying) control measures. Therefore the InVS carried out a priority setting exercise for non-foodborne zoonoses using an adaptation of the methodology used during the revision of the Infectious Disease surveillance programme in France (1994-1995). The objectives of the exercise were to set priorities, and to determine resources and methods to improve the knowledge, prevention and control of non-foodborne zoonoses. A working group consisting of public health experts from human and veterinary institutions (French Food Safety Agency, Ministry of Health, Cochin University Hospital, Nantes National School of Veterinary Medicine, Inter-regional Intervention Epidemiology Unit and InVS) have carried out the process. This report presents the methodology used, the different steps and the results of this process. |
