Susceptibility of primary ovine dorsal soft palate and palatine tonsil cells to FMDV infection.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals. This disease is one of the most important in animal health due to its significant socio-economic impact, especially in case of an outbreak. One important challenge associated with this disease is the ability of the FMD virus (FMDV) to persist in its hosts through still unresolved underlying mechanisms.

[Proceedings of the International Symposium of the World Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, 2023].

The International Symposium of the World Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (ISWAVLD) is the unmissable biannual meeting of all diagnostic veterinary laboratories including biologists, veterinarians and other scientists involved in laboratory diagnostics. It took place at the Lyon Convention Centre (29 June-1 July 2023). It was a pleasant and enriching moment, which allowed participants to discover and/or discuss new diagnostic methods and the epidemiology of animal diseases, around all themes involving veterinarians (animal health, but also environmental and human health, and food safety).

Development of a primary cell model derived from porcine dorsal soft palate for foot-and-mouth disease virus research and diagnosis.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals that has a significant socio-economic impact. One concern associated with this disease is the ability of its etiological agent, the FMD virus (FMDV), to persist in its hosts through underlying mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. While persistence has been described in cattle and small ruminants, it is unlikely to occur in pigs.

[Perception of barriers and facilitators in the continuity of care for precarious migrants in general practice].

Introduction: Continuity of care is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of somatic and mental conditions in precarious migrants. This study explored the barriers and facilitators in the continuity of care provided to precarious migrants in general practice.

Methods: A qualitative study was carried out based on semi-directed interviews with twenty precarious migrants.
