The Institut Pasteur and the Institut Pasteur International Network are assisting the international aid effort by offering diagnostic support and epidemiological surveillance in collaboration with the Guinean Ministry of Health. The Institut Pasteur teams in the WHO Collaborating Center for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers and Arboviruses are closely involved in the Ebola response. From identification of the Ebola virus in Guinea in March 2014 to the plans for a new Institut Pasteur in Conakry which is due to open in 2016, several Institut Pasteur structures are on the front line in the fight against the virus.
