Following the outbreak of rinderpest that devastated post-war Europe in 1920, Emmanuel Leclainche urged the coordination of an international conference to study epizootics and their prevention. The conference was held in Paris in May 1921 and called for the establishment of an International Office for the control of epizootics.
