Animal health surveillance and epidemiological monitoring
Anticipate health risks through laboratory analysis
surveillance and epidemiological monitoring are major challenges for stakeholders in animal health . Early identification of pathogens and monitoring of infectious agents help prevent epidemics, ensure livestock safety, and protect the food chain . Thanks to our network of partner laboratories , YesWeLab offers high-performance analytical solutions for detecting, monitoring, and controlling animal diseases .
Advanced analyses for pathogen surveillance
Our laboratories perform microbiological and molecular analyses to identify the infectious agents responsible for zoonoses and animal diseases:
- Real-time PCR (RT-PCR, qPCR) : rapid and specific detection of pathogenic viruses and bacteria, enabling early intervention.
- Genomic sequencing (NGS, Sanger) : identification of variants and monitoring of mutations of pathogens.
- Microbiological culture and biochemical identification : detection and characterization of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
- Antibody testing and serology (ELISA, Western Blot) : assessment of immunity and detection of active or past infections.
- Parasitological analyses : screening for intestinal, hematophagous or external parasites.

Applications for the animal health sector
Epidemiological surveillance is essential for livestock farms, veterinary laboratories, animal feed manufacturers, and health authorities . Our analytical services enable:
- Control the sanitary quality of livestock farms by screening for major pathogens (Salmonella, Campylobacter, Brucella, Mycoplasma).
- Monitor regulated diseases according to current standards (avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever).
- Early detection of antibiotic resistance (bacterial antibiotic resistance via antibiograms and targeted PCR).
- Evaluate the effectiveness of vaccines and biosafety protocols through serological tests and post-vaccination analyses.
- Analyze raw materials for animal feed to avoid contamination (toxins, heavy metals, drug residues).
Surveillance governed by strict regulations
French and European regulations . In France, ANSES (the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) issues recommendations and oversees the assessment of health risks. At the European level, EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority) plays a key role in assessing biological and chemical hazards related to livestock farming and the food chain.
Furthermore, European veterinary regulations, particularly Regulation (EU) 2016/429 on animal health (Animal Health Law), impose strict obligations on farms and the animal feed industry regarding infectious disease surveillance and biosecurity reliable results and regulatory compliance .
