Le choix de descripteurs paysagers en tant qu'indicateurs d'un risque épidémiologique
2005
National audience; Echinococcus multilocularis (Em) est un parasite responsable chez l'homme d'une maladie grave : l'échinococcose alvéolaire. La contamination humaine peut se produire par ingestion accidentelle d'œufs du parasite. Un programme européen d'épidémiosurveillance, EchinoRisk, est actuellement en cours. En France, ce programme, mené conjointement par l'ERZ (Entente interdépartementale de lutte contre la rage et autres zoonoses) et l'AFSSA (Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments), a permis jusqu'à présent de collecter 5 820 échantillons localisés de fèces de renards. À ce jour, 2 305 échantillons ont été analysés parmi lesquels 62 ont révélé la présence du parasite. …

Alveolar echinococcosis: characteristics of a possible emergence and new perspectives in epidemiosurveillance
2001
International audience; The aim of this review is to discuss the situation of alveolar echinococcosis in France, in the light of the current knowledge on its transmission patterns in the world, especially Europe. An important risk of higher contamination of the rural environment may be suspected from newly reported cases of infected foxes or voles in several countries where the disease was not found before. Furthermore, the increase of prevalence rate in foxes in Bade-Würtemberg (Germany) and Franche-Comté (France), traditionally endemic, is also in support of this new trend. Urban foxes and the spreading of infected foxes to cities may also be the cause of the extension to urban and suburb…
Paysage et risque sanitaire - Le cas de l'echinococcose alvéolaire. Approche multiscalaire
2005
Echinococcus multilocularis is a parasite of public health importance causing the fatal zoonotic disease alveolar echinococcosis. The parasite's eggs are dispersed in the environment through the fox faeces. Epidemiological issues associated with the disease led to the monitoring of the endemic status in foxes in France and in Europe. Fox faeces collected in the field were tested for the presence of the parasite and assembled in a georeferenced database. GIS-assisted analysis investigated relationships between landscape characteristics and potential risk. Three scale levels were successively explored. In the french Doubs département located in a high endemicity area, binary logistic regressi…
