African swine fever (ASF) is a haemorrhagic viral disease that affects only domestic pigs and wild boars and is not contagious to humans. Its presence in certain European countries represents a threat to the affected professional sectors. ANSES conducts work to improve detection of the virus and to supply technical and scientific support to authorities for the implementation of effective management measures to prevent the disease from being introduced into France.

The development of antimicrobial resistance in animal and human bacteria is a major public health issue requiring an integrated approach across all types of medicine, according to the "One Health" concept covering both humans and animals. ANSES has mobilised significant resources to combat antimicrobial resistance, in particular by coordinating the French Surveillance Network for Antimicrobial Resistance in Pathogenic Bacteria of Animal Origin (Resapath), which is devoted to monitoring resistance in bacteria responsible for infections in all animal species. Resapath is both an essential tool for monitoring animal antimicrobial resistance and a key forum for cooperation among stakeholders in human and veterinary medicine.
