[African horse sickness: an ancient disease for a current threat]. African horse sickness (AHS) is a major arthropod-borne disease that causes significant losses in horses in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by the African horse sickness virus (AHSV), which is transmitted during a blood meal by Culicoides biting midges. The distribution of historical African culicoid vectors increases due to global warming. In addition, recent (Thailand, 2020) and earlier (Iberian Peninsula, 1965-66/1987-90) AHS outbreaks outside Africa demonstrate the adaptation of the virus to endogenous species in AHS-free regions, similar to what has been observed for bluetongue disease i...
Le virus de l’artérite virale équine : de l’épidémiologie moléculaire à l’émergence de variants pathogènes. Equine arteritis virus (EAV) is the causative agent of equine viral arteritis, a disease observed only in equids. EAV is the prototype of the family Arteriviridæ within the order Nidovirales. EAV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus with a considerable variation in the genome as observed in other RNA viruses. During natural infections, EAV may cause abortion and persistent subclinical infections in stallions which can shed the virus in the semen for years, or even lifetime. Chronically infected stallions represent the natural reservoir of the virus. They ensure the persi...
[West Nile virus infections: overview and epidemiological update]. West Nile virus, a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes, has been intensively studied since a few years because of epidemics/epizootics it has caused the last ten years, in particular around the Mediterranean basin and on the North-American continent. This virus mainly circulates in birds ; migrating bird species disseminate the virus while resident species could play a role in viral cycle amplification. A large number of mammal, amphibian and reptile species can also be infected. This virus can cause a lethal disease in humans and horses. For this reason, an active and/or passive surveillance...
[EIAV (equine infectious anemia virus): to better understand the lentiviral pathogenesis]. Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is a lentivirus related to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). EIAV causes a persistent infection characterized by recurring febrile episodes associating viremia, fever and thrombocytopenia. Despite a rapid virus replication and antigenic variation, most animals progress from a chronic stage characterized by recurring peaks of viremia and fever to an asymptomatic stage of infection. The understanding of the correlates of this immune control is of great interest in defining vaccine strategies. Research on EIAV over the last five decades has produced some in...
