Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem with extremely complex epidemiology involving the direct and indirect transmission of antibiotic resistant pathogens and mobile genetic elements between humans, animals, and the environment. AMR is, therefore, recognized as a ‘One Health’ issue. Data that describe AMR prevalence and trends are required to enable the judicious and prudent use of antimicrobials in animals, which has implications both from veterinary and animal welfare aspects as well as from a zoonotic and public health perspective. Horses are a potential reservoir of AMR for humans due to close human–animal contact, as was demonstrated with shared human and horse methic...

One of the little known species in the danger of extinction, gymophionan amphibians, are also known as caecilians or apoda. Gymnophiona contains 154 species belonging to 34 genera and 6 families. For many years, studies on the Gymnophiona were disparate and still only a few species have been deeply studied. Fortunately, in recent years, some new wo
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has recently estimated that the world equid population exceeds 110 million. Working equids (horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules) remain essential to ensure the livelihood of poor communities around the world. In many developed countries, the equine industry has significant economical weight, with around 7 million horses in Europe alone. The close relationship between humans and equids and the fact that the athlete horse is the terrestrial mammal that travels the most worldwide after humans are important elements to consider in the transmission of pathogens and diseases, amongst equids and to other species. The potential effect of climate change on vector ecology and vector-borne diseases is also of concern for both human and animal health. In this Special Issue, we intend to explore our understanding of a panel of equine viruses, looking at their pathogenicity, their importance in terms of welfare and potential association with diseases, their economic importance and impact on performance, and how their identification can be helped by new technologies and methods.

Synthèse moderne entre immunologie fondamentale et immunopathologie, ce livre comporte un ensemble de chapitres consacrés aux applications de l'immunologie dans le domaine des cancers, des maladies infectieuses, des vaccinations et de la pathologie dysimmunitaire. Le fil conducteur est celui de l'évolution moléculaire et de l'adaptation réciproque des microorganismes et de leurs hôtes animaux, des relations structure-activité des molécules de l'immunité naturelle et de l'immunité spécifique. Chaque chapitre d'immunologie générale est éclairé d'un regard médical qui extrait les concepts les plus importants pour la physiopathologie et la thérapeutique. Cette quatrième édition, entièrement remaniée et mise à jour, intègre toutes les avancées les plus récentes, tout en conservant les qualités didactiques des premières éditions. De plus, un nouveau chapitre d'exercices d'application (tutorials) permet au lecteur de tester ses capacités d'utilisation des connaissances théoriques. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux professeurs et étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles en médecine, sciences de la vie, pharmacie et médecine vétérinaire.
Rembrandt's life and art had an almost mythic resonance in nineteenth-century France with artists, critics, and collectors alike using his artistic persona both as a benchmark and as justification for their own goals. This first in-depth study of the traditional critical reception of Rembrandt reveals the preoccupation with his perceived "authenticity," "naturalism," and "naiveté," demonstrating how the artist became an ancestral figure, a talisman with whom others aligned themselves to increase the value of their own work. And in a concluding chapter, the author looks at the playRembrandt, staged in Paris in 1898, whose production and advertising are a testament to the enduring power of the artist's myth.
