The Institut Pasteur hosts an OIE (World Organization for Animal Health) collaborating center
The Institut Pasteur is now home to the World Organization for Animal Health Collaborating Center for the detection and identification in humans of emerging animal pathogens and development of tools for their diagnoses. It is hosted by the Environment and Infectious Risks Unit (led by Jean-Claude Manuguerra), with the Laboratory for Urgent Response to Biological Threats and the Pathogen Discovery Laboratory (led by Marc Eloit). This Collaborating Centre recommends, devises, and compares new laboratory testing methods and procedures for detecting and identifying emerging animal pathogens in humans.
