A detailed analysis of declarations of adverse effects compiled since this campaign began, by the pharmacovigilance system set up by AFSSA and run by the French Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products, has concluded that there are no grounds for calling into question the risk/benefit status of the vaccines.<BR>AFSSA is organising a seminar today on animal influenzas at the Ploufragan science park (zoopôle).

Following a request by the French Ministries of Agriculture, Health and Consumer Affairs, the Agency has today published an Opinion concluding that the conditions for safe use of processed animal proteins have not, to date, been fully satisfied, although it notes the progress made in organisation of the industries. <BR>Avian Influenza<BR>Bee health: ANSES becomes European Union Reference Laboratory <BR>Bluetongue<BR>Bluetongue (BT): Pharmacovigilance data do not call into question the risk/benefit status of the vaccines <BR>Bulletin Epidémiologique: latest news<BR>Consumer close-ups<BR>Emergence du virus Schmallenberg, mise en place d'un dispositif de surveillance<BR>Following the discovery of wild animal carcasses in the Gouessant estuary, the Ministry of Agriculture requested that ANSES determine the causes of their death. In view of all the available data, the hypothesis of poisoning by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the most probable, although it is impossible to confirm whether this was the only factor contributing to this case of mass mortality. ANSES recommends further studies and emphasises that the health issues associated with the decomposition of green algae and the production of H2S on mudflats call for an investigation into the gas emissions from estuary bottoms and some river beds.<BR>Health warning: Do not use veterinary medecines to eliminate lice on children<BR>Highlighted close-ups<BR>Home,Anses,News,Press room,Agenda,Our topics,Food,Animal health and nutrition,Environmental health,Occupational health,Plants,Opinions and publications,Last opinions and reports,Food opinions and reports,Animal health and nutrition opinions and reports,Environmental and occupational health opinions and reports,Plants opinions,Opinions and reports in English,Bulletins and periodicals,Other publications,Subscribe to Anses newsletter,Research and reference,Research program,Laboratories and reference activities, + ,Job opportunities,Public procurement contracts,Our websites,Partners,Extranet / ExpertNet,Kid's area,Legal notice,Contact, ,<BR>ICAHS-International Conference on Animal Health Surveillance<BR>In 2008 and 2009, outbreaks of excess mortality in Pacific oysters occurred on the French, Irish and Channel Island coasts.

This is the first time that this new virus, responsible for the human A/H1N1 influenza epidemic, has been found in a French farm animal.

The Agency is involved in preventing and combating prevailing and emerging animal diseases that are transmissible to humans, either directly or through food, that are specific to animals and affect both livestock and wildlife. Through its efforts to improve animal health, the Agency also contributes to protecting public health, as a good number of infectious human diseases have their origin in animal disease.
