Jean-Luc BAILLY

Jean-Luc BAILLY is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Paramedical Professions at the University of Clermont Auvergne. His research focuses on virology, particularly enteroviruses, parechoviruses, and other emerging pathogens. He has contributed extensively to understanding viral epidemiology, molecular mechanisms of infection, and public health responses to outbreaks. His work spans clinical diagnostics, environmental surveillance (e.g., wastewater-based epidemiology), and genetic characterization of viral strains.

Key research areas include:

• Epidemiology and evolution of enteroviruses (EV-A71, EV-D68, coxsackieviruses)
• Neurotropic virus pathogenesis and transmission to the central nervous system
• Global and regional transmission dynamics of viral pathogens
• Development of diagnostic protocols and molecular typing methods
• Zoonotic virus spillover and public health surveillance

Recent studies highlight his work on the 2023-2024 parvovirus B19 outbreak in France, the epidemiology of EV-A71 in Europe, and the re-emergence of coxsackievirus A24 in the Indian Ocean. His research also addresses the role of wastewater surveillance in tracking viral spread.

No awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His academic contributions are primarily through peer-reviewed publications and collaborative studies with institutions like the ENPEN Network.
