Désir n’a repos
Ce volume Desir n’a repos, offert à Danielle Bohler par ses amis, collègues et anciens étudiants, propose une trentaine d’articles organisés selon trois champs de recherches universitaires au carrefour des disciplines, dans lesquels Danielle Bohler s’est investie et s’est illustrée, avec prédilection mais sans exclusive, tout au long de sa carrière à la Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3, puis Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3 : imaginaire et symbolique ; normes, histoire et anthropologie ; femmes, féminin et féminité. Derrière l’hommage à une carrière bien remplie et le témoignage d’amitié à une collègue qui a déployé une chaleureuse énergie au service des études médiévales, cet ouvrage veut être un état des lieux, un bilan d’étape et une ouverture sur les recherches menées actuellement sur le monde du Moyen Âge, ses mentalités et ses représentations, ses gens et ses œuvres, dans leur richesse, leur mouvance et leur diversité, sans cesse renouvelées
Update on tick-borne rickettsioses around the world: A geographic approach
Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia. These zoonoses are among the oldest known vector-borne diseases. However, in the past 25 years, the scope and importance of the recognized tick-associated rickettsial pathogens have increased dramatically, making this complex of diseases an ideal paradigm for the understanding of emerging and reemerging infections. Several species of tick-borne rickettsiae that were considered nonpathogenic for decades are now associated with human infections, and novel Rickettsia species of undetermined pathogenicity continue to be detected in or isolated from ticks around the world. This remarkable expansion of information has been driven largely by the use of molecular techniques that have facilitated the identification of novel and previously recognized rickettsiae in ticks. New approaches, such as swabbing of eschars to obtain material to be tested by PCR, have emerged in recent years and have played a role in describing emerging tick-borne rickettsioses. Here, we present the current knowledge on tick-borne rickettsiae and rickettsioses using a geographic approach toward the epidemiology of these diseases
