The multidisciplinary ambition of this project has brought together researchers involved in a wide range of disciplines: human virology, animal virology, evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, zoology, ecology, epidemiology, and immunology. Such a team of specialists guarantees the feasibility through the acquisition of samples relevant to the interpretation of epidemiological and phylogenetic results. The current urgency as well as the innovative quality of the EPICOREM project will prove attractive to French experts on coronaviruses, and other experts in wildlife, and enable complex cross-referencing and data verification within the consortium established.

Ce projet multidisciplinaire rassemble des chercheurs impliqués dans un large éventail de disciplines: la virologie humaine, la virologie animale, la biologie de l’évolution, la systématique, la phylogénie, la zoologie, l’écologie, l’épidémiologie et l’immunologie. La diversité de spécialités composant de ce consortium garantit la faisabilité du projet grâce à l’acquisition d’échantillons pertinents pour l’interprétation des résultats épidémiologiques et phylogénétiques. L’urgence actuelle ainsi que les qualités innovantes du projet EPICOREM bénéficieront aux experts des coronavirus, ainsi qu’aux experts de la faune sauvage, et permettront des cross-référencements complexes et la vérification des données au sein du consortium établi.
