  abstract = {{H}ealth research programs targeting the population of {G}abon and {E}quatorial {A}frica at the {I}nternational {C}enter for {M}edical {R}esearch in {F}ranceville ({CIRMF}), {G}abon, have evolved during the years since its inception in 1979 in accordance with emerging diseases. {S}ince the reemergence of {E}bola virus in {C}entral {A}frica, the {CIRMF} "{E}merging {V}iral {D}isease {U}nit" developed diagnostic tools and epidemiologic strategies and transfers of such technology to support the response of the {N}ational {P}ublic {H}ealth {S}ystem and the {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization to epidemics of {E}bola virus disease. {T}he {U}nit carries out a unique investigation program on the natural history of the filoviruses, emergence of epidemics, and {E}bola virus pathogenesis. {I}n addition, academic training is provided at all levels to regional and international students covering emerging conditions (host factors, molecular biology, genetics) that favor the spread of viral diseases.},
