Le concept de maladies virales émergentes : quel risque de zoonose pour La Réunion ?

A La Réunion, le risque d'émergence de maladies virales est constitué par plusieurs zoonoses virales qu'il convient de surveiller: infections à virus Sindbis, virus de l'encéphalite japonaise, virus Wesselsbron, virus Nipah, virus Zika, virus West Nile, virus de la fièvre de la vallée du Rift. La lutte contre ces maladies virales émergentes (MVE) passe par une détection précoce des cas et donc un système de surveillance doté d'un véritable réseau d'information, d'alerte et de prévention international.

Situation et enjeux sanitaires aux Seychelles en 2012 [Health situation and issues in the Seychelles in 2012]

Off the coast of Kenya, the Seychelles, home to 87,400 inhabitants mostly of African origin, have largely completed their demographic and epidemiologic transitions. Major investments in infrastructure and social services have fostered steady economic growth. Health care and education are free. The predominance of chronic non-communicable diseases and rapid aging of the population nonetheless present significant challenges for public health and the health system. Like the other small island states in the region, the Seychelles continue to be threatened by arbovirus outbreaks. Health indicators are good, but the geographic isolation, the small and aging population, and limited resources make a major challenge maintaining and sustaining an effective workforce of health professionals, a constantly evolving technical platform, and increasing amount of medications particularly in view of the increasing burden of chronic diseases

HTLV-I infection in the South West Indian Ocean islands, particularly in La Réunion and the Seychelles

Data on HTLV-I are scarce in several Southwest Indian Ocean islands except for La Réunion and The Seychelles. The two cases of HTLV-I have been confirmed by Western-Blot in La Réunion, among blood donors. In Seychelles (87 400 inhabitants in 2012), where blood donors and some other cases are screened, HTLV-I was confirmed with a line immune assay in 43 persons and at least 10-20 patients are known to have tropical spastic paraparesia or adult T-cell lymphoma associated with HTLV-I. In the south-west Indian Ocean, a possibly important other issue may be co-infection of HTLV-1 with the Strongyloides stercoralis roundworm, which is endemic in all countries of the region and which can sometimes lead to severe symptomatic infestation
