cds46, a highly variable carp edema virus gene.

Carp edema virus disease (CEVD) is a severe viral illness that causes substantial economic losses in wild and farmed common carp and koi. It is caused by carp edema virus (CEV), a member of the family whose genetic diversity and genome evolution are poorly understood. Based on a genomic fragment of the gene, two genogroups, genogroup I (gI) and genogroup II (gII), have been identified in samples of different origins.

Peri-domestic entomological surveillance using private traps allows detection of dengue virus in during an autochthonous transmission event in mainland France, late summer 2023.

While locally-acquired dengue virus (DENV) human infections occur in mainland France since 2010, data to identify the mosquito species involved and to trace the virus are frequently lacking. Supported by a local network gathering public health agencies and research laboratories, we analysed, in late summer 2023, mosquitoes from privately-owned traps within a French urban neighbourhood affected by a dengue cluster. The cluster, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, comprised three cases, including two autochthonous ones.

Microorganisms Associated with Mosquito Oviposition Sites: Implications for Habitat Selection and Insect Life Histories.

Mosquitoes are considered one of the most important threats worldwide due to their ability to vector pathogens. They are responsible for the transmission of major pathogens such as malaria, dengue, zika, or chikungunya. Due to the lack of treatments or prophylaxis against many of the transmitted pathogens and an increasing prevalence of mosquito resistance to insecticides and drugs available, alternative strategies are now being explored.

Revisiting the Economic Impacts of and Its Control in European Intensive Broiler Systems With a Recursive Modeling Approach.

Ionophore compounds active against species are widely used in intensive broiler systems and have formed the backbone of coccidiosis control for almost 50 years. Producers, however, are under pressure to reduce ionophore use due to consumer concerns over antimicrobial usage in food animals, and antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, current vaccines against are commonly considered to be less cost-effective in intensive broiler systems, especially in Europe where attenuated live vaccines are used.
