HIV and AIDS
More than thirty years after Institut Pasteur scientists discovered the HIV-1 virus (a discovery that was recognized by the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine), AIDS is still a major public health problem that particularly affects the most deprived regions and populations.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000009/40763.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000009/40763.thw -

Influenza and other respiratory viruses
Respiratory viruses, mainly influenza viruses, are responsible for approximately 250,000-500,000 deaths during typical epidemic years and have the potential to cause zoonotic infections and eventually pandemics,https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28411.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28411.thw

Rabies
Today, rabies is considered a neglected disease while it remains a real problem for public health across the world. Several groups in Paris and in the Institut Pasteur International Network are involved in research programmes on the epidemiology of human and animal rabies.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000007/38106.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000007/38106.thw -
Entérovirus, Poliovirus, Ev71
Enteroviruses are resposible for many diseases like the Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) which is caused by EV-71 Enterovirus.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000004/34874.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000004/34874.thw
Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease, which mainly affects young children. -
Herpes virus
Herpesviridae (or herpes virus) are a family of triggers virus of several diseases, eg HHV 1 (oral herpes, sometimes genital herpes), HHV2 (genital herpes), HHV 3 (varicella zoster), HHV 4 (virus of EBV causes infectious mononucleosis), cytomegalovirus CMV.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28581.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28581.thw -
Bacteriophages
Firstly, bacteriophages have been used to fight against bacterial infections and used as models for studying basic cellular mechanisms (replication, transcription, regulation). More recently, they have become valuable tools in biotechnology.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28741.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/28741.thw -
Viral biofilms
Certain viruses (HTLV-1) are capable of forming complex biofilm-like assemblies, similar to bacterial biofilms. These extracellular infectious structures may protect viruses from the immune system and enable them to spread efficiently from cell to cell.https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/24756.thu https://phototheque.pasteur.fr/vignette/00000000000/24756.thw
