In this context and on the occasion of the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) publication of its report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria, AFSSA is emphasising the importance of this issue and reiterating its corresponding actions. A valuable tool for exchanging information between stakeholders involved in epidemiological surveillance, food safety, and animal and human health in France, the Bulletin Epidémiologique 'Santé animale - alimentation' ("Epidemiological Bulletin - Animal Health and Food", available in French only, with summaries and key words translated into English) is changing to meet the needs of its readers. To mark the release of a special issue on zoonoses, we invite you to take a closer look at the restyled Bulletin Epidémiologique. A/H1N1 Influenza: a confirmed turkey farm outbreak - a review of AFSSA's role and the importance of biosafety in farming AFSSA has now presented professionals with its report on the 2008 and 2009 vaccination campaigns, during which some 123 million doses of vaccine were administered, together with the outlook for the 2010 campaign. 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. AFSSA is organising a seminar today on animal influenzas at the Ploufragan science park (zoopôle). The event revolved around a review of the current state of knowledge regarding these viruses and the issues raised by the recent A H1N1 flu pandemic as well as the H5N1 bird influenza epizootic which began in spring 2005. Animal health and nutrition Animal health and nutrition news Animal influenzas: A seminar to present and review results ANSES is a major player in animal health and welfare. It will be at the International Livestock Trade Faire (SPACE) in Rennes, France from 13 through 16 September 2011. ANSES wishes to remind the public that no anti-parasite, insecticide or acaricide product used to treat pets should ever be administered to humans, and especially not to children. Antibiotics resistance Antimicrobial resistance and pet owners Antimicrobial resistance in animal health: more and more bacteria resistant to newer-generation fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins Antimicrobial resistance: a day to take stock Antimicrobial resistance: AFSSA emphasises the importance of rallying French and European stakeholders behind the responsible use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine April 1 2011 As part of the European Antibiotic Awareness Day, ANSES organised its own day on Antimicrobial Resistance in Animals in cooperation with the Directorate General for Food and the Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs (DG Sanco) of the European commission. As part of the revision of the regulations on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), the European Commission is proposing a relaxation of the rules banning processed animal proteins (PAPs) in the feed of certain productive livestock. 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. Avian Influenza Bee health: ANSES becomes European Union Reference Laboratory Bluetongue Bluetongue (BT): Pharmacovigilance data do not call into question the risk/benefit status of the vaccines Bulletin Epidémiologique: latest news Consumer close-ups Emergence du virus Schmallenberg, mise en place d'un dispositif de surveillance 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.

A virus appears to have played a major role in these deaths. In its Opinion dated 22 April, AFSSA specified the causes of this phenomenon and issued recommendations to limit the risk of new outbreaks of excess mortality and to avoid further spread to unaffected areas. News brief On 19 January 2010, the AFSSA Ploufragan National reference laboratory confirmed an outbreak of A/H1N1 influenza in a turkey farm in the Côtes d'Armor area of France. 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. Since the emergence of this new virus in spring 2009, AFSSA has been working actively on the animal health aspect of the epidemic. Here is a review of the Agency's biosafety recommendations for farms. On the occasion of World Rabies Day, ANSES recalls its efforts to combat rabies and stresses the importance of vigilance with respect to this animal disease, which is transmissible to humans, in order to detect the introduction of new cases in France as early as possible.

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.
