Frédéric Jourdain

As an Environmental Health engineer, I worked for 8 years at the General Directorate of Health, French ministry of Health. From 2007 to 2011, I worked on vector monitoring and control issues in metropolitan France and overseas territories. My activities were mainly dedicated to planning and risk management of vector borne diseases. In this framework I was in charge of implementation and updating the different preparedness and response plan to arbovirus circulation (West Nile, dengue and chikungunya virus mainly). Since 2011, I am working at the French National Centre for expertise on vectors (CNEV) which is a multidisciplinary structure aimed to mobilize quickly and efficiently, the French expertise in the fields of medical and veterinary entomology, vector control with a view to decision support of MoH. My role within the CNEV is to contribute to human health and animal health expertise through risk assessment and risk management support.
