Malarial threat is receding in India and for achieving malaria-free status, vector biology is regaining its due importance for targeting species-specific interventions in place and time. Anopheles minimus, the major vector of malaria in north-east India, is disappearing fast evidenced by reduced levels of malaria transmission and morbidity. An. min...

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...
After several decades of effort, malaria prevalence decreased and China is currently approaching elimination throughout the country. The distribution of malaria vectors was reduced but former secondary species such as Anopheles sinensis are becoming predominant. Although China achieved zero indigenous case report in 2017, imported malaria cases are...
Au Niger, la Trypanosomiase Humaine Africaine (THA) était sous contrôle dès les années 1950 et le dernier cas de THA autochtone connu dans la littérature a été dépisté en 1972. En 2013, l'OMS a affiché sa volonté d'éliminer la THA comme problème de santé publique à l'horizon 2020, il était donc impératif d'actualiser la situation de la THA au Niger...
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. À l'image des éme...
Les maladies transmises par les moustiques représentent une menace permanente en santé publique. La principale mesure pour protéger les populations contre les piqûres infectieuses repose actuellement sur l'utilisation d'insecticides, mais celle-ci est menacée par la propagation des mécanismes de résistance au sein des populations de moustiques. Dan...
The Haemaphysalis genus (Acari, Ixodidae) in Senegal is reviewed. This embodies a summary of specimens collected from vertebrate hosts over three decades. 454 collections were performed over this period (408 from mammals and 46 from birds), representing a total of 5752 ticks in different developmental stages. Seven Haemaphysalis spp. were collected...
