We present here the proceedings of the 5th seminar on emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), held in Paris on March 22nd, 2016, with seven priority proposals that can be outlined as follows:∙Encourage research on the prediction, screening and early detection of new risks of infection∙Develop research and surveillance concerning transmission of pathogens between animals and humans, with their reinforcement in particular in intertropical areas (`hot-spots') thanks to public support∙Pursue aid development and support in these areas of prevention and training for local health personnel, and to foster risk awareness in the population∙Ensure adapted patient care in order to promote adherence to treatment and to epidemic propagation reduction measures∙Develop greater sensitization and training among politicians and healthcare providers, in order to better prepare them to respond to new types of crises∙Modify the logic of governance, drawing from all available modes of communication and incorporating new information-sharing tools∙Develop economic research on the fight against EIDs, taking into account specific driving factors in order to create a balance between preventive and treatment approaches.
