Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus responsible for an acute febrile illness characterized by severe polyarthralgia, predominantly affecting peripheral joints. In a substantial proportion of patients, these symptoms may progress to chronic manifestations that significantly impair quality of life. Animal models are therefore critical for the development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies, inclu...
Background To date, azoles represent the only viable option for oral treatment of invasive Candida infections, while rates of azole resistance among non-albicans Candida spp. continue to increase. The objective of this sub-analysis of the European multicenter observational cohort study Candida III was to describe demographical and clinical characteristics of the cohort requiring prolonged hospitalization solely to complete int...
Seabirds have been particularly affected by invasive non‐native species, which has led to the implementation of numerous eradication campaigns for the conservation of these keystone and highly vulnerable species. Although the benefits of eradication of invasive non‐native species for seabird conservation have been demonstrated, the recovery kinetics of different seabird populations on islands after eradication remains poorly e...
Modelling Marine Predator Habitat Using the Abundance of Its Pelagic Prey in the Tropical South-Western PacificNARA Subscribed
Understanding the ecological mechanisms underpinning distribution patterns is vital in managing populations of mobile marine species. This study is a first step towards an integrated description of the habitats and spatial distributions of marine predators in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea, one of the world’s largest marine-protected areas at about 1.3 million km 2 , covering the entirety of New Caledonia’s pelagic waters....
Dairy farming systems driven by the market and low-cost intensification in West Africa: the case of Burkina FasoNARA Subscribed
The increase in demand for dairy products in Burkina Faso is encouraging livestock producers to develop milk production. Three types of dairy systems (pastoralists, agropastoralists and market-oriented dairy farms) have been characterised based on a sample of 60 producers operating in the West and centre of the country. Pastoralists’ dairy operations consist mainly of zebus, rely on pasture for feed, store little fodder, and r...
Invasive rats are one of the world's most successful animal groups that cause native species extinctions and ecosystem change, particularly on islands. On large islands, rat eradication is often impossible and population control, defined as the local limitation of rat abundance, is now routinely performed on many of the world's islands as an alternative management tool. However, a synthesis of the motivations, techniques, cost...
