The theme of this year’s event is “Crossing barriers”, not only with regard to species barriers or to the barriers between different scientific disciplines, but also the crossing of geographical barriers. ANSES is committed to crossing barriers – those between public and private stakeholders, those which may exist between various scientific disciplines, and the barriers created by borders, since ANSES has numerous collaborations with institutes around the world. ANSES undertakes monitoring, expert assessment, research and reference activities in a broad range of topics that encompass human health, animal health and well-being, and plant health. “Investigate, evaluate and protect” - this summarises the missions of ANSES, based on collaborative and impartial expert assessment of the health risks and benefits of chemical, biological and physical agents, often through the prism of the human and social sciences. ANSES works with approximately 800 external experts selected primarily based on their scientific expertise and on a review of potential conflicts of interest. The Agency also relies on a network of 11 reference and research laboratories located throughout France that are recognisedth in Europe and internationally a wide range of fields and disciplines and are located 11in geographical EPIZONE proximity Annual to their respective Meeting sectors. It also assesses the effectiveness and risks of veterinary medicinal products, plant protection products, fertilisers, growing media and their adjuvants, as well as biocides, with a view to delivering marketing authorisations. ANSESCrossing also provides assessments Barriers of chemicals within the framework of the European REACH and CLP regulations.Paris, France Like human health, animal health can be threatened by numerous pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites), some of which can also affect humans (zoonoses). ANSES contributes to the prevention and control of the major and emerging animal diseases affecting both farm animals and wildlife, and in doing so participates in the protection of public health. Via the French agency for veterinary medicinal products (ANMV), ANSES is also the competent French authority for the assessment and management of veterinary medicinal products. Global climate change, as well as new forms of globalisation in trade, have led over the last few years to the emergence in Europe of exotic animal diseases with a high economic impact. The emergence of these infectious animal diseases remains a topical issue which has often mobilised the ANSES teams, for example : new variants of the bluetongue virus, tick-borne diseases, African swine fever, etc. However, other more established diseases also remain a concern for France and for Europe and warrant our sustained Welcome efforts. Another challenge is to develop methods of screening, analytical diagnosis and control, in accordance with the European and international standards in force, while integrating new technologies for analysing genomes and proteins. The detailed analysis of host/ pathogen interactions, as well as the development of new epidemiological methods, will enable ANSES to continue to combat emerging and re-emerging animal diseases, in line with the «One Health» concept promoted by the World Health Organisation. I sincerely hope that this 11th annual meeting of EPIZONE will be an opportunity to cross barriers and to provide the “epizootic community” with effective ways of working together to plan new initiatives, to interact and to enjoy our time here together in Paris.

However, few studies on the biochemical changes in dogs infected with this protozoon exist. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the biochemical changes in dogs experimentally infected with R. vitalii, during the acute phase of the infection. For this study, 12 female dogs (aged 6-12 months and weighing between 4 and 7 kg) were used, divided in two groups. Group A was composed of healthy dogs (n = 5); and group B consisted of infected animals (n = 7).

The most common clinical signs are apathy, hyperthermia and spontaneous bleeding. Anemia and thrombocytopenia are the most common hematological findings. This work reports a clinical case of canine Rangeliosis treated at a private veterinary hospital, in São Paulo city in 2017. A dog was treated at a veterinary hospital in the north of São Paulo, with progressive weight loss, apathy and tail injury. Anemia and thrombocytopenia were observed on the hemogram. Rangelia vitalii DNA was detected in animal blood by real-time PCR (qPCR). In addition to the supportive treatment, doxycycline and subcutaneous imidocarb applications were used. The sample collected after treatment with the antibiotic continued to present protozoal DNA. The disease should be considered as a differential diagnosis and there is a great need for further studies about the therapy used.

  • Eastern Equine Encephalitis Case Definition
    CASE DEFINITION FOR EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS 1. General disease/pathogen information: Eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) is a mosquito-borne viral disease that primarily affects horses. EEE, also known as sleeping sickness, is characterized by central nervous system dysfunction and a moderate to high case fatality rate. The causal virus is maintained in nature in an alternating infection cycle between mosquitoes and birds. Humans and horses serve as dead-end hosts. Although horses and humans are most often affected by the virus, birds may exhibit clinical signs, and infection and disease occasionally occurs in other livestock, deer, dogs, and a variety of mammalian, reptile, and amphibian species. 1.1. Etiologic agent: EEE is caused by the Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEEV), an Alphavirus of the family Togaviridae. It is closely related to the Western and Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis viruses and Highlands J virus, all of which cause similar neurological dysfunction disorders in horses. There are two distinct antigenic variants of EEEV. The North American variant is more pathogenic than the South and Central American variant. 1.2. Distribution/frequency of agent or pathogen in U.S.: EEEV is distributed throughout the Western Hemisphere. It has also been reported in the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Central America, and South America. In North America, it is found in eastern Canada and all States in the United States east of the Mississippi River as well as Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. EEEV is endemic in the Gulf of Mexico region of the United States. 1.3. Clinical signs: Horses infected with EEEV will initially develop fever, lethargy, and anorexia.
