Mission

IMAXIO is a biotech company specialized in vaccinology and in human leptospirosis prophylaxis.
Often called "rate disease" or "swineherd's disease", this zoonosis is an emerging public health issue in Europe and especially in France.
In 2014-2016 leptospirosis cases in metropolitan France doubled compared to previous years with an average of 600 cases/year. 54% of leptospirosis occurring in working people would be caused by occupational exposure.
IMAXIO engages with occupational healthcare professionals and health authorities to prevent and to increase awareness about leptospirosis risks at work with, for example in France, its dedicated website:
