Aimed at the students of the PhD’s and Master's degree in research and diagnosis in tropical diseases to learn about “viral membrane fusion processes: type I and type II viral fusion proteins.”

On 7 November 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) counted 5,160 deaths per 14,098 cases in 8 countries. French research teams are helping to address this epidemic, under the coordination of the National Alliance for Life Sciences and Health (Aviesan). The IRD researchers and their partners in the South are involved in several research programs in the field of diagnostics, monitoring, convalescent, or the humanities and social sciences. These five interviews conducted by the IRD, return on key elements of understanding of Ebola outbreaks.
