Introduction: Prevention is one of the main priorities for the « Santé de Défense 2019-2022 » strategy. In the current climate where the application of preventive measures is a daily challenge, it is necessary, in conjunction with the target cohort, to develop and agree occupational health policies.

Objective: Having analyzed several papers outlining techniques to generate a co-developed strategy, we created a participation-based process which could be applied to the crew of a French Navy vessel.

A comparison of four serological assays for detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in human serum samples from different populations.

It is of paramount importance to evaluate the prevalence of both asymptomatic and symptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and their differing antibody response profiles. Here, we performed a pilot study of four serological assays to assess the amounts of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in serum samples obtained from 491 healthy individuals before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, 51 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19, 209 suspected cases of COVID-19 with mild symptoms, and 200 healthy blood donors. We used two ELISA assays that recognized the full-length nucleoprotein (N) or trimeric spike (S) protein ectodomain of SARS-CoV-2.

Factors associated with malaria chemoprophylaxis compliance among French service members deployed in Central African Republic.

Background: Malaria is a public health concern in the French armed forces, with 400-800 cases reported every year and three deaths in the past 2 years. However, lack of chemoprophylaxis (CP) compliance is often reported among service members. The aim of this study was to explore factors associated with CP compliance.
