La Reunion
Research centers or research group
Research activities on tropical infectious diseases in South West Indian Ocean
islands. Activities focus on studying eco-systemic determinism in the transmission
of infectious agents and physio-pathological consequences in human beings.
PIMIT promotes two transversal themes involving two key medical pathologies
in the South West Indian Ocean : emerging arboviruses and a bacterium
(leptospirosis), as well as developing detection tools and innovative therapies
based on Reunion’s endemic biodiversity.
ZIKALLIANCE
A Global Alliance For Zika Virus Control And Prevention
Partners : EU H2020
ECOSPIR
Eco-Health of leptospira endemic to the Indian Ocean : bacteria presenting a
risk to human populations
Partners : ERDF INTERREG
VECTOBIOMES
Vectors and microbiota : a combination of harmful agents threatening the
health of people in the Indian Ocean regions
Partners : ERDF INTERREG
ZIKALERT
Research excellence programme on the emerging Zika virus using innovative
nanotechnology
Partners : ERDF OP
CHIKGEN
Study of links between the entire genome, genetic factors and immunological
determinism in the continuing effects of the chikungunya virus
Partner : ANR
ONE HEALTH OI
Regional Indian Ocean research network of over 20 institutions
in 8 south-western Indian Ocean countries. ONE HEALTH OI seeks
to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases in
animals and humans using a regional, integrated, inter-sectoral
and interdisciplinary approach.
PIMIT’s permanent members operate PLATIN-OI. H. PASCALIS (IR, UR) is the scientific head of PLATIN-OI and also manages 3P. C.
ATYAMÉ NTEN (MCU, UR/IRD) is in responsible for insectarium laboratories I2 and I3. M. ROCHE (MCU UR) is responsible for animal laboratory A3.
PLATIN-OI is managed by the PIMIT research centre Director. PIMIT research work focuses on the heart of the south-western Indian Ocean area. Our aim is to provide regional partners with open access to the PLATIN-OI platform to conduct their experimental infection studies. PLATIN-OI is one of the few research centres in France where a complete infection life-cycle of an arbovirus can be reproduced using experimental infections.
