Monitoring avian flu in poultry from live bird markets (LBMs) is not just about animal welfare. These activities also protect people, food security, and livelihoods. The Virology Laboratory at the Institut Pasteur du Laos (IPL) is committed to safeguarding public health in Laos by partnering with the National Animal Health Laboratory (NAHL), provincial and district authorities, to perform avian influenza surveillance by collecting and analyzing samples from LBMs to detect viruses early – before they become widespread.

Supported by grant funding from the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (World Health Organization) and the French Embassy in Laos, we travel to LBMs in northern, central, and southern Laos every month to help piece together a comprehensive picture of the spread of avian flu in the poultry populations. The early detection of these viruses helps authorities act quickly to prevent outbreaks and reduce risks to human and animal health.

Introducing Parasitology Laboratory!

At the Institut Pasteur du Laos, our Parasitology laboratory was established in 2012. The aims of this laboratory are to carry out research and training in the area of parasitology to better understand parasitic diseases affecting the Lao population, to propose ways to mitigate possible infections, and to provide technical support to the national-level institutions in the area of malaria and other parasitic diseases.

The SATREPS project, supported by JICA and AMED, is currently under implementation. What did our team achieve in 2025?

● Combatting Malaria: We successfully implemented malaria LAMP technology in 25 hospitals to detect the low-density infections.

● One Health & Ecohealth: We are educating local teachers, monks, and village chiefs on preventing liver fluke and malaria.

● Innovative Surveillance: We are using the Environmental DNA (eDNA) approach to track water-related parasites like Schistosoma mekongi and Opisthorchis viverrini in the Mekong River.

● Science for Safe Food: We are developing pulsed-power technology and special spirulina-based snail feed to stop parasite transmission through freshwater snails and fish.

From the laboratory to the field, we are dedicated to realizing the goal of "no one left behind"- a core principle of Universal Health Coverage (UHC)-in the fight against neglected tropical diseases.

From March 23–26, 2026, Mrs. Thepaksone CHINDAVONG (Research Engineer, Virology Laboratory) and Dr. Tiger SOULAPHY (Research Engineer, Entomology Laboratory) from the Institut Pasteur du Laos (IPL) attended the "Global Health: Pandemics (Origin, Response, and Preparedness)" seminar in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, organized by the Open Medical Institute (OMI).

The seminar brought together international experts and participants to discuss key aspects of pandemics, including surveillance, outbreak response, and preparedness. Through lectures, workshops, and interactive discussions, participants strengthened their understanding of how surveillance systems function and how various stakeholders collaborate during outbreaks. A tabletop simulation exercise on a cholera outbreak provided practical insight into real-world coordination between public health authorities, scientists, and international organizations.

Through participatory workshops and networking activities, Mrs. Chindavong and Dr. Soulaphy noted that the seminar improved their understanding of laboratory and surveillance roles in outbreak detection. They found the sessions on preparedness particularly valuable, as they clarified how their current work fits within the broader public health response system.

Overall, the seminar contributed to strengthening both participants’ background knowledge and practical understanding of emerging infectious disease preparedness.

IPL would like to warmly thank the OMI and the Institut Pasteur in Ho Chi Minh City for the invitation to attend this important seminar.

A Tradition of Unity and Health: Celebrating Pi Mai Lao at IPL 🌸
Sabaidee Pi Mai!

As we welcome the Lao New Year, the Institut Pasteur du Laos (IPL) family recently gathered for a small traditional ceremony. This ceremony is more than a tradition; it is a moment for us to pause, reflect, and call upon the "Kwan" (spirits) for harmony, resilience, and success in our mission to protect public health.

Surrounded by the scent of fresh flowers and the warmth of our colleagues, we shared the symbolic tying of white cotton threads. These strings represent our shared commitment to supporting one another—whether in the lab, the field, or the office—and our dedication to the well-being of the Lao community.

Wishing all our partners, colleagues, and friends a joyful, safe, and prosperous Pi Mai Lao! May the New Year bring you and your families' abundant health and happiness.

Introduction to the Medical Entomology and Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory:
Protecting Health Through Vector Research in Laos
The Institut Pasteur du Laos (IPL) Medical Entomology and Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory works to better understand insects and parasites that can transmit diseases to people and animals in Laos.
These include ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies, fleas, chigger mites, etc.

Our scientists study these small organisms to identify the pathogens they may carry and to understand how environmental changes, climate, and interactions between vectors and hosts influence disease transmission. 🦟🌏🔬

🧬 Modern Science for Early Detection
Our research begins with field investigations, where scientists collect vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies from natural environments. In the laboratory, we combine traditional insect identification with modern genetic technologies to accurately classify disease-carrying vectors and detect the viruses and bacteria they may transmit.

🌿 Key Research Activities (2025–2026)
• 🔎🔬 Surveillance of tick vectors and tick-borne pathogens
• 🦟 Pathogen discovery in mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies using modern genetic technologies
• 🌏 Climate change and its impact on vector-borne diseases
