Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is the arbovirus with the highest incidence in New Caledonia and in the South Pacific region. In 2012-2014, a major DENV-1 outbreak occurred in New Caledonia. The only known vector of DENV in New Caledonia is Aedes aegypti but no study has yet evaluated the competence of New Caledonia Ae.

In this study, we characterized and quantified the urinary excretion dynamics of by infected with 2 × 10 virulent serogroup Ballum. Each micturition was collected separately in metabolic cages, at 12 time points from 7 to 117 days post-infection (dpi).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Dengue is a mosquito-borne virus that causes extensive morbidity and economic loss in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Often present in cities, dengue virus is rapidly spreading due to urbanization, climate change and increased human movements. Dengue cases are often heterogeneously distributed throughout cities, suggesting that small-scale determinants influence dengue urban transmission.

- The study investigates how various factors influence the distribution of dengue fever in New Caledonia, focusing on interactions between the virus, host, and environmental conditions during epidemic years.
- Researchers analyzed data from 24,272 dengue cases between 1995 and 2012 using statistical methods to understand how climate and socio-economic factors contribute to the disease's spread.
- Findings indicate that temperature and socio-economic conditions significantly affect dengue's spatial distribution, predicting that incidence rates could double by 2100 if temperatures rise by 3 °C.
Comparison of tick resistance of crossbred Senepol × Limousin to purebred Limousin cattle.

February 2014
The comparison of resistance to natural tick infestation by Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1887) of crossbred Senepol × Limousin and purebred Limousin cattle was investigated. The Senepol breed, originated from St Croix Island in the Caribbean is considered as a Bos taurus breed adapted to tropical conditions. Despite its B.

Dengue is the most important arboviral disease worldwide and a major public health problem in tropical areas. However the determinants shaping its dynamics at a national scale remain poorly understood.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Dengue dynamics are driven by complex interactions between human-hosts, mosquito-vectors and viruses that are influenced by environmental and climatic factors. The objectives of this study were to analyze and model the relationships between climate, Aedes aegypti vectors and dengue outbreaks in Noumea (New Caledonia), and to provide an early warning system.
Methodology/principal Findings: Epidemiological and meteorological data were analyzed from 1971 to 2010 in Noumea.
