A New Orthobunyavirus in Cattle
The first scientific article based on the dissertation of Mikail Kelleci, a doctoral student at EUR UNITEID at the École Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse (ENVT), highlights the detection of a new Shamonda-type Orthobunyavirus in numerous cattle farms in
Evaluation of the contribution of clinical metagenomics using 3rd generation sequencing for the identification of emerging viruses
Viral diseases represent a major health risk for both humans and animals. Rapid, robust identification and typing of viral agents is a scientific and medical priority, and calls for «pipelines» that combine
From hosts to pathogens: One Health genomic monitoring of microbiome dynamics related to the bushmeat trade in Africa.
This thesis project explores emerging zoonotic diseases within socio-ecological systems, with a particular focus on bushmeat networks in West Africa. By focusing on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics of two
Study of antibiotic tolerance and persistence mechanisms in enterobacteria
This project directly addresses the threat of emerging infectious diseases by studying antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains associated with difficult-to-treat infections. Tolerance and persistence are clinical challenges:
Axonogenesis in pulmonary tuberculosis: characterization of innervation, Schwann cells and their functional roles
Tuberculosis is a priority infectious disease due to its global impact, risk of reactivation and drug resistance. By studying neurological and immune mechanisms, in particular interactions between Schwann cells,
