ANSES Scientific Conference – New Prospects for Vector Control of Pathogens

From 10AM to 12AM
Public : oui
Fighting pathogen vectors, including mosquitoes and ticks, is essential to prevent and reduce at the source serious pathologies that still threaten human health on a global scale. The use of chemical mosquito insecticides, with their successes and failures, is emblematic of the challenges that research must face in preparing future vector control strategies. On the morning of Thursday December 17 2020, from 10am to 12pm, ANSES is organising a digital-format scientific conference on the topic of vector control. Its aim is to report on the results of the National Plan for Research on Environmental and Occupational Health (PNR EST) on this challenging subject. The conference will begin with an overview of recent research on new approaches to vector control, including specific insect viruses acting in synergy with insecticides, and the use of attractant substances to trap mosquitoes. Then the characterisation and dynamics of resistance to insecticides in mosquito populations will be discussed. This research, funded by the PNR EST seeks to address the multiple challenges of integrated vector management. At the end of the morning, a review of the literature on the sterile insect technique (SIT) and the incompatible insect technique (IIT) will be presented, shedding a new light on the effectiveness of these two control methods. This work is funded by ANSES under a specific research and development agreement. In organising this conference, ANSES hopes to contribute to informing and mobilising the relevant actors – whether scientists, decision makers or professionals on the ground –, with regard to this issue. The objective is to explore new avenues to address the challenges of integrated vector control, improve its effectiveness and limit its impacts, in particular through preventing insecticide resistance.

ANSES Scientific Encounters - Antimicrobial resistance in animal health and in the environment

10am to 12aù
Public : oui
Webinaire
For World Antibiotic Information Day and European Antibiotic Resistance Day, ANSES is holding a Scientific Encounter on resistance to antimicrobials. During this event, which will be held remotely due to the current health crisis, ANSES will review the most recent findings on antimicrobial resistance in animals (Résapath report) and antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine. The Agency, in its capacity as the National Reference Laboratory for antimicrobial resistance, will also present the results of the European surveillance plan. At morning’s end, the conclusions of ANSES's scientific expert opinion on antimicrobial resistance in the environment will be presented. They will include the latest findings on environmental contamination by antibiotics and resistant pathogenic bacteria, and an understanding of the mechanisms favouring antimicrobial resistance in the latter. This Scientific Encounter is an integral part of the implementation of the interministerial roadmap adopted on 18 November 2016, which aims to reinforce and to coordinate efforts to more effectively fight antimicrobial resistance in both the human and non-human sectors. With this event, ANSES hopes to help inform and motivate all the relevant stakeholders – whether scientists, policy makers or professionals in the field – regarding this key issue, and to explore new ways to improve antibiotics use in veterinary medicine while limiting their impact. This webinar was held in French only. Wednesday 18 November 2020 from 10am to 12pm

On 13 and 14 March 2018, the Regulated Products Assessment Department (DEPR) of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) hosted a Workshop on Toxicological Risk Assessment of Plant Protection Products. The organising committee for the event was made up of ANSES along with the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission (Directorate-General Health and Food Safety). This Workshop was a follow-up to one hosted by AGES in 2015. The meeting was attended by participants from the regulatory authorities of some 20 European countries, plus representatives of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the European Commission and stakeholders. Central topics were: exposure assessment of operators, workers, bystanders and residents; estimating dermal absorption of products as part of exposure assessment; the assessment of cumulative and combined risks; the toxicological classification of plant protection products; consideration of co-formulants. The principal conclusions of the Workshop were: the harmonisation of risk assessment methods should be continued; areas for improvement have been identified, in particular situations where the estimation of exposure needs to be better harmonised between Member States; the adoption of harmonised methodology to facilitate the implementation of combined risk assessment; the new European guidance document on the estimation of dermal absorption will reinforce the harmonisation and robustness of evaluations; harmonised guidelines must be adopted for alternatives to animal testing in the evaluation
