microMONKEY A model of international translational study to address the prevention of fungal infection in African great apes based on the One Health concept
REFNo: NS420ES

This study aims to better depict the epidemiology of microsporidiosis, to demonstrate the impact that the close proximity of humans to animals can have on the microbiological digestive carriage in great apes, and to understand its ecological consequences, in terms of their zoonotic potential. Preventive means to better control inter-species microbial transmission could thus be proposed. This project is totally part of the current international trend to preserve the environment and defend the animal welfare, supported by the One Health program.
