Despite their recent population history and geographical isolation, inhabitants of French Polynesia experience health issues similar to those of continental countries.

Wing Interferential Patterns (WIPs) and machine learning for the classification of some Aedes species of medical interest.

Hematophagous insects belonging to the Aedes genus are proven vectors of viral and filarial pathogens of medical interest. Aedes albopictus is an increasingly important vector because of its rapid worldwide expansion. In the context of global climate change and the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases, identification tools with field application are required to strengthen efforts in the entomological survey of arthropods with medical interest.

First evaluation of antibody responses to Culex quinquefasciatus salivary antigens as a serological biomarker of human exposure to Culex bites: A pilot study in Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Culex mosquitoes are vectors for a variety of pathogens of public health concern. New indicators of exposure to Culex bites are needed to evaluate the risk of transmission of associated pathogens and to assess the efficacy of vector control strategies. An alternative to entomological indices is the serological measure of antibodies specific to mosquito salivary antigens.

Specific human antibody responses to Aedes aegypti and Aedes polynesiensis saliva: A new epidemiological tool to assess human exposure to disease vectors in the Pacific.

Background: Aedes mosquitoes severely affect the health and wellbeing of human populations by transmitting infectious diseases. In French Polynesia, Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika, and Aedes polynesiensis the primary vector of Bancroftian filariasis and a secondary vector of arboviruses. Tools for assessing the risk of disease transmission or for measuring the efficacy of vector control programmes are scarce.

Zika virus outbreak in the Pacific: Vector competence of regional vectors.

Background: In 2013, Zika virus (ZIKV) emerged in French Polynesia and spread through the Pacific region between 2013 and 2017. Several potential Aedes mosquitoes may have contributed to the ZIKV transmission including Aedes aegypti, the main arbovirus vector in the region, and Aedes polynesiensis, vector of lymphatic filariasis and secondary vector of dengue virus. The aim of this study was to analyze the ability of these two Pacific vectors to transmit ZIKV at a regional scale, through the evaluation and comparison of the vector competence of wild Ae.

[Feasibility study for Intercept platelets].

During 3 months, platelet concentrates prepared by "Établissement français du sang Pyrénées-Méditerranée" (Blood bank) were treated with the Intercept process (CERUS). This study primarily aimed to measure the organizational impact of this technology on transfusion chain. The introduction of Intercept did not raise any major difficulties, but required some adaptations upstream from the deployment.

Identification of a Tsal152-75 salivary synthetic peptide to monitor cattle exposure to tsetse flies.

Background: The saliva of tsetse flies contains a cocktail of bioactive molecules inducing specific antibody responses in hosts exposed to bites. We have previously shown that an indirect-ELISA test using whole salivary extracts from Glossina morsitans submorsitans was able to discriminate between (i) cattle from tsetse infested and tsetse free areas and (ii) animals experimentally exposed to low or high numbers of tsetse flies. In the present study, our aim was to identify specific salivary synthetic peptides that could be used to develop simple immunoassays to measure cattle exposure to tsetse flies.
