Article Synopsis
- Algeria is facing increased health risks from West Nile Virus (WNV) and the invasive Aedes albopictus mosquito, prompting a study to enhance mosquito-borne pathogen surveillance using advanced molecular techniques.
- Researchers utilized a combination of high-throughput chip technology to identify arboviruses in mosquitoes and immunologic methods for serological analysis in local animal populations, conducting studies in both a coastal humid region and a Saharan desert area.
- The study discovered five arboviruses in Algeria for the first time, with a significant presence of flavivirus antibodies in equids and poultry, highlighting the importance of improved surveillance to manage future outbreaks effectively.
Birds are one of the most species-diverse vertebrate groups and are susceptible to numerous hematophagous ectoparasites. Migratory birds likely contribute to the circulation of these ectoparasites and their associated pathogens. One of the many migration paths crosses the Mediterranean islands including Corsica and its wetlands, which are migration stopovers.

In spring 2020, there was an outbreak of tick-born encephalitis (TBE) in Ain, Eastern France, where the virus had never been detected before. All patients but one had consumed traditional unpasteurised raw goat cheese from a local producer.
