Marie – Jeanne Guenin
He is a veterinarian who graduated in 2019 from the VetAgro Sup national veterinary school in Lyon. In 2018 and 2019, I completed an international master's degree at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Kasetsart University in Bangkok in coordination with CIRAD and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Toulouse in France to specialize in disease prevention and control through the prism of the One approach. Health. In this context, I did a master's internship at CIRAD UMR ASTRE within the framework of the European project Ebosursy. The objective was to establish a community-based surveillance system for viral haemorrhagic fevers in Guinea, adopting a "One Health" approach. Next, in April, I defended my doctoral thesis, within the framework of the ASTRE unit of CIRAD and the European ROADMAP project, on strategic planning for better use of antimicrobials in livestock farming. During this internship and my master's degree, I specialized in using participatory approaches to solve public health problems. Since September 2023, I have returned to UMR ASTRE, but this time based in Guadeloupe, as part of the INTERREG AUSCAR (One Health Approach in the Caribbean) project to establish a regional One Health community of practice.
