Green spaces: Exposures and Health issues – EVISA
Over the last decade, the greenspace sector has considerably developed and employs today over 100,000 people in France: landscapers, gardeners, civil servants, public facility operators, golf-course employees and other sports facilities, horticulturists, plant and tree nursery workers, etc. Numerous
Impact of pesticide use on avian populations in French vineyards: an integrative approach – VITIBIRD
L'impact des pesticides sur la biodiversité et la santé est au cœur des débats, notamment dans les agroécosystèmes viticoles où les pesticides sont massivement utilisés. Notre projet vise à étudier les impacts des principaux pesticides utilisés dans les vignobles sur des vertébrés bioindicateurs de
Implication of pesticides in the decline of avian flagship species in farmland – PestiStress
A ce jour, la contribution des pesticides au déclin des espèces aviaires emblématiques du milieu rural est toujours controversée. La plupart des études se limite à une évaluation de la dose létale 50 (LD50) testée sur un nombre restreint d’espèces modèles. Elles ignorent souvent les effets différés
Interactions between pathogens and pesticide mixtures in the honey bee – MIXTRESS
Les stresseurs chimiques tels que pesticides peuvent induire des effets délétères lorsqu’ils sont seuls et des synergies lorsqu’ils sont associés. Chez l’abeille, les pesticides peuvent aussi conduire à des interactions toxico-pathologiques synergiques lorsqu’ils sont associés à des stresseurs biolo
Interactions gènes-environnement et résistance aux insecticides chez les moustiques – MOSQUITO-ENV
Mosquitoes transmit numerous infectious diseases and represent a major concern for economic development and public health. To reduce their impact on human activities, their larval populations are generally controlled by insecticide treatments. Wetlands where mosquito larvae develop are complex aquat
La photoprotection, pour réduire l'utilisation des produits phytosanitaires – ECOPHYTO
Modernisation of agriculture has contributed to considerable increased yields and to the improvement of product quality. Among the advance, the use of chemical control products has proved to be extremely efficient, reliable and convenient. But, the use of pesticide is nowadays more and more being qu
Plant-polerovirus-aphid crosstalk – VIRAPHIPLANT
The objective of this project is to study the tight interactions between the three partners of a pathosystem, namely the plant, the virus and the vector to identify the regulations that take place after virus infection and aphid infestation. These modifications can affect (i) virus accumulation and
The Apis mellifera channelome: an invaluable tool to study agroecosystems contaminants – Synaptic-Bee
The decline of pollinators is partly due to chemical inputs in the environment. The effects of these inputs on beneficial insects are most often evaluated by mortality tests, their impact on the physiology of insects at low doses remaining poorly understood. The most widely used insecticides (neon
Xenobiotics, endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity: impact of chronic exposure to pesticides on reproduction, development and function of the central nervous system of a mammalian model. – Neuropest
Pesticides are a real problem of public health not only for users who are the most exposed, but also for general population. Epidemiological studies of populations exposed to these toxics suggest an increased of cancer risk, birth defects, infertility, neurodegenerative diseases and immune deficienc
