International Network of Pasteur institutes
The institutes belonging to the network, including the Institut Pasteur in Paris, are extremely involved in public health in the countries in which they are located, in agreement with the local health authorities: medical biology, vaccinations, microbiological monitoring etc. The majority is recognised as reference centres on a national level or within the framework of the WHO. Education is another major mission of the institutes in the network which provide training for numerous trainees from the countries concerned and from abroad. The research carried out, in the field and in the laboratory, concerns infectious diseases (influenza, AIDS, arbovirus diseases, malaria, plague, etc.) affecting the host country. Through this network, the development of numerous diseases throughout the world is meticulously monitored by the Pasteur community.
