abstract="Epidemiological surveillance within the French Armed Forces has had to take into account various changes in infectious diseases in recent years. The French Armed Forces are encountering new hazards, such as the spread of HIV infection, Plasmodium falciparum chemoresistance, and outbreaks of emerging diseases. Bioterrorism, industrial and occupational hazards are added concerns. For these reasons, the French Military Medical Service has introduced a new concept based on permanent epidemiological surveillance of communicable diseases. This is completed by a real-time spatial surveillance designed to detect very rapidly potential communicable diseases or new emerging diseases. This epidemiological system, based on data modeling, enhances the medical information available to staff commands before deployment to new areas.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
