Transcriptome of the synganglion in the tick Ixodes ricinus and evolution of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel family in ticks.

Background: Ticks represent a major health issue for humans and domesticated animals. Exploring the expression landscape of the tick's central nervous system (CNS), known as the synganglion, would be an important step in understanding tick physiology and in managing tick-borne diseases, but studies on that topic are still relatively scarce. Neuron-specific genes like the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (cys-loop LGICs, or cysLGICs) are important pharmacological targets of acaricides.

The New Human sp. FR1 Is a European Member of the sp. MO1 Clade.

In Europe, is responsible for most of the severe cases of human babesiosis. In the present study, we describe a case of babesiosis in a splenectomized patient in France and report a detailed molecular characterization of the etiological agent, named sp. FR1, as well as of closely related , and sp.

[Nursing training institute, thinking about caring for the elderly].

The ageing of the population confronts French society with profound changes and has a particular impact on our healthcare system. In the practice of trainer in a nursing training institute, the importance of teaching adapted to these evolutions is measured. Also, we can question ourselves on the awareness of the students to the care of the elderly subject with a pedagogical sequence wishing to meet this objective.

First detection and molecular identification of the zoonotic Anaplasma capra in deer in France.

Cervids are known to be reservoirs of zoonotic bacteria transmitted by ticks. This study aimed to identify the Anaplasma species carried by captive red deer and swamp deer in a wild fauna reserve in France. Blood from 59 red deer and 7 swamp deer was collected and analyzed over a period of two years.
