[email protected] ABSTRACT The Marseille-Aubagne Basins, which extend from Marseille to Roquevaire, occupy more than fifty per cent of the Marseille-Aubagne geological map, with approximately one million people living in this area. Despite this geological importance they are still poorly known. The first synthetic view was delivered in the 1935 geological map. Studied by Bonifay, the Quaternary deposits have been included in the 1969 geological map. Nevertheless, the Oligocene formations remained unmodified until Nury, who provided a lot of very detailed stratigraphic data.

Ce périmètre d’étude s’avère correspondre aux pratiques des habitants puisque 98% des déplacements n’en sortent pas. Les échanges de l’agglomération arlésienne sont eux plutôt tournés vers Avignon. Les déplacements des résidents de l’EMD se structurent autour des grands corridors routiers. Les frontières naturelles (massif de l’Etoile ou de la Sainte- Baume, Étang-de-Berre) marquent des ruptures dans les flux.

  • MARSEILLE, FRANCE Arrive: 0800 Saturday, 03 August Onboard: 1800 Monday, 05 August
    MARSEILLE, FRANCE Arrive: 0800 Saturday, 03 August Onboard: 1800 Monday, 05 August Brief Overview: Marseille is the second largest city in France, after Paris, with a metropolitan population of roughly 1.6 million people. It is the largest French city on the Mediterranean coast as well as France’s largest commercial port. The city is a melting pot of cultures, with large immigrant populations from both Italy and the Maghreb countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Liberia and Mauritania. Make sure to see the mix of cultures that this city offers by visiting its street markets and bazaars, including the famous fish market located on the docks of the Vieux Port (Old Port). Try some of the local fish stew, bouillabaisse, at a local restaurant or take a beach break at one of its rocky inlets. 2013 will also be an exciting year for Marseille, as it hosts both European Capital of Culture celebrations and Europride, a LGBT-focused festival, this summer. Nearby towns: Arles: Roman history meets modern life in this French town. With more Roman monuments than anywhere else besides Rome itself, this town allows you to see history come alive. Take in some of the UNESCO World Heritage sites or discover the town’s Roman amphitheater. See the history for yourself with MAR 104-201 “Roman Culture and Ranch Life in Arles and Camargue area.” Cassis: A small town known for its vineyards and white wine, this small town provides a respite from city life. Explore the ruins of a medieval castle or take in the view of a picture- perfect fishing village nestled along breathtaking cliffs and inlets.

  • One Particular Anaplasma Phagocytophilum Ecotype Infects
    Dugat et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:371 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2305-3 RESEARCH Open Access One particular Anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotype infects cattle in the Camargue, France Thibaud Dugat1, Agnès Leblond2,3, Nicolas Keck4, Anne-Claire Lagrée5, Isabelle Desjardins3, Aurélien Joulié2,3, Sophie Pradier6, Benoit Durand7, Henri-Jean Boulouis5 and Nadia Haddad5* Abstract Background: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a zoonotic tick-borne pathogen responsible for granulocytic anaplasmosis, a mild to a severe febrile disease that affects man and several animal species, including cows and horses. In Europe, I. ricinus is the only proven vector for this pathogen, but studies suggest that other tick genera and species could be involved in its transmission. Our objective was to assess the presence and genetic diversity of A. phagocytophilum in domestic animals and different tick species from the Camargue region, located in the south of France. Methods: A total of 140 ticks and blood samples from 998 cattle and 337 horses were collected in Camargue and tested for the presence of A. phagocytophilum DNA by msp2 quantitative real-time PCR. Molecular typing with four markers was performed on positive samples. Results: Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA was detected in 6/993 (0.6%) cows, 1/20 (5%) Haemaphysalis punctata, 1/57 (1.75%) Rhipicephalus pusillus, and was absent in horses (0%). All cattle A. phagocytophilum presented a profile identical to an A. phagocytophilum variant previously detected in Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma marginatum, and Rhipicephalus spp. in Camargue. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that one particular A. phagocytophilum variant infects cattle in Camargue, where I. ricinus is supposed to be rare or even absent.
