Unlabelled: Intestinal microsporidiosis caused by is an opportunistic infection that especially affects solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Management revolves around tapering the immunosuppressive regimen and/or using a specific anti-microsporidia treatment, but only fumagillin has demonstrated efficacy for treatment of this infection. Since fumagillin has been commercially discontinued, nitazoxanide is increasingly being used in this indication.

- Mucormycosis, a severe fungal infection highlighted by the WHO, was studied in France from 2012 to 2022, revealing significant trends in epidemiology and mortality factors.
- Out of 550 cases, key underlying conditions included hematological malignancies (65.1%), with pulmonary infections most common (52.4%) and substantial seasonal variations suggesting more cases in autumn.
- The study linked the rise in PCR diagnostic methods to improved patient outcomes, highlighting that age, ICU diagnosis, and hematological malignancies increased mortality, while diagnosis after 2015 and surgical interventions decreased it.
Extending the network of strict forest reserves is one of the conservation measures promoted by the French National Strategy for Biodiversity. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the efficiency of setting aside strict forest reserves to preserve biodiversity in the case of temperate forests. Moreover, there are potentially unexplored underlying ecological mechanisms that forest management could usefully mimic.

It contains 9538 permanent plots, distributed across 111 study sites in mainland France (including Corsica). Notably focusing on dead wood measurement, this protocol has primarily been applied in strict forest reserves and special nature reserves (sensu Bollmann & Braunisch 2013), with 68% (6494) of the plots being currently located in strict forest reserves (unmanaged) and 24.

Methods: We included incident cases of cryptococcosis in HIV-seronegative individuals from 2005 to 2020. We compared patient characteristics, disease presentations, cryptococcal antigen results, and induction antifungal treatments according to underlying disease.
