Maladies émergentes d'origine animale : d'où viendra la prochaine menace ?
La déforestation, la recherche de nouvelles terres pour le développement de l'agriculture et l'urbanisation sont autant de facteurs qui nous exposent à de nouveaux microbes.
Motivated by the potential devastating effect of a COVID-19 outbreak in retirement homes and long-term facilities for dependent elderly, we present the impact of worst-case scenarios in French institutions using a specific age structure and case-age fatality ratios. The death toll could equal the yearly death toll caused by seasonal influenza in th...
Over the last 40 years, the recurrence of epidemics resulting from known or new infectious agents (AIDS, avian influenza, SARS, Ebola, etc.) has sharply raised awareness about the interconnections between human health and the health of animals and the environment, as well as the effects of global changes on these interactions. In line with the emer...
Au cours des 40 dernières années, la récurrence d'épidémies dues à des agents infectieux connus ou nouveaux (sida, virus de la grippe aviaire, du SRAS, Ebola...) a généré une prise de conscience accrue des interconnexions entre santés humaine, animale et environnementale, et de l'effet des changements globaux sur ces interactions.

Some of them are associated with newly discovered microorganisms such as Rickettsia felis and Tropheryma whipplei; others are known, historical diseases such as plague and cholera. In addition are diseases related to previously known microorganisms which recently have...
Bats carry a great diversity of zoonotic viruses with a high-impact on human health and livestock. Since the emergence of new coronaviruses and paramyxoviruses in humans (e.g. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Nipah virus), numerous studies clearly established that bats can maintain some of these viruses. Improving our un...
