Funded by CNRS MITI, and in partnership with Geographie-cités, this project adopts a One Health perspective to investigate the dynamics of arbovirus transmission in urban ecosystems, with a focus on marginalised urban spaces. By exploring the interactions between human activity, ecological systems, and vector habitats, the project examines how urbanisation influences the risks of arboviruses spread. Using a mixed-methods approach, OUR-HEALTH combines spatial analysis, socio-environmental assessments, and public health governance studies to identify effective local interventions.

Key outcomes include recommendations for integrated vector management, policy frameworks for urban health, and strategies to reduce human vulnerability to arbovirus transmission. By linking public health with urban governance, OUR-HEALTH establishes a foundation for adaptive, sustainable health interventions across South and Southeast Asia.

The EXPOSOC project investigates the urban exposome—the totality of environmental exposures individuals face in urban settings—through a One Health lens. With a case study in Nan, Thailand, the project evaluates how environmental contaminants, zoonotic pathogens, and air pollution interact with human behaviours, including mobility, work habits, and preventive measures. By examining the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health, EXPOSOC delivers a comprehensive understanding of health risks in peri-urban and urban areas.

In collaboration with the UMR Mivegec and UMR Geographie-cités, this project integrates diverse data sources, including serological sampling, environmental assessments, and social behaviour studies, to identify systemic vulnerabilities. Outcomes include targeted public health interventions, recommendations for pollution and vector control, and frameworks addressing inequalities in urban health, aligning with One Health principles for holistic, interdisciplinary solutions.

Funded by the National Research Fundation of Singapore, the SPACE project develops predictive epidemiological models rooted in urban health, using Singapore as a foundational case study. By integrating spatial, climatic, social, and mobility data, WP1, co-led by Olivier Telle, examines how disease transmission dynamics can inform regional interventions. The project emphasises the interplay between human mobility, socio-environmental factors to understand the spread of diseases such as dengue and COVID-19.

SPACE aims to provides a scalable framework to address diverse urban health challenges. The project highlights the importance of regional collaboration and data-driven governance in enhancing public health systems, supporting targeted interventions, and improving community resilience to epidemic risks.
