Joint call for proposal "Chlordécone II : societies and multi exposure"
Chlordecone is an organochlorine insecticide used worldwide since the 1960s. Due to its high toxicity, biomagnification and long-term persistence in the environment, it was banned in France in 1990, except in the French West Indies, where it was authorized for soil application to control banana weevils until 1993. Over more than two decades of use, this pesticide has heavily contaminated ecosystems, with deleterious consequences for the environment and health.
Call for projects – FLASH: Pox virus in farmed ruminants
France, like Europe, is facing the emergence on its territory of highly contagious animal viral diseases caused by poxviruses, mainly affecting ruminant livestocks. Recent outbreaks, such as lumpy skin disease in cattle, have revealed the vulnerability of livestock systems and highlighted the need for the rapid availability of robust scientific knowledge and operational tools to anticipate, monitor and control these health crises, in order to limit their economic and social impacts.
