Grâce aux nombreux lâchers de moustiques porteurs de la bactérie Wolbachia, la Nouvelle-Calédonie enregistre sa 5e année consécutive sans épidémie de dengue. « Cette bactérie se transmet de génération en génération de moustiques et les empêche de transmettre le virus de la dengue. »
Dengue : le projet Wolbachia prend fin car les résultats sont probants en Nouvelle-Calédonie
Lancé en 2019 en Calédonie, le World mosquito program porte chaque année un peu plus ses fruits. La Direction des affaires sanitaires et sociales de la Nouvelle-Calédonie a donc décidé d'arrêter les lâchers de moustiques Wolbachia. Cependant, elle garantit une surveillance continue des moustiques existants.   Medriko Peteisi • Publié le 3 février 2025 à 20h20   "En 2017, la Calédonie comptait 4 000 cas de dengue. Deux ans plus tard, le World mosquito program faisait son apparition sur le Caillou.   Depuis, les résultats sont probants. La Nouvelle-Calédonie enregistre sa cinquième année consécutive sans épidémie de dengue. Une réalité rendue possible grâce aux nombreux lâchers de moustiques porteurs de la bactérie Wolbachia.   "Cette bactérie se transmet de génération en génération de moustiques et les empêche de transmettre le virus de la dengue", explique Sébastien Mabon, Directeur adjoint des affaires sanitaires et sociales de la Nouvelle-Calédonie (Dass). Fin des campagnes Wolbachia "Depuis le 1er janvier 2025, on n'a aucun cas de dengue. En 2024, on a recensé neuf cas. Sur ces cas, trois étaient des dengues locales et six concernaient des voyageurs qui l'avaient attrapée dans un autre pays avant d'arriver sur le territoire", poursuit le directeur adjoint. C'est pourquoi le projet Wolbachia prend fin, ou tout du moins le déploiement de nouveaux moustiques Wolbachia.   "Il n'est plus nécessaire de poursuivre le projet sur le territoire car le but initial a été atteint. Par contre, ce qui ne s'arrêtera pas, c'est la surveillance qu'on continue à faire du nombre de moustiques porteurs de la  bactérie, pour être sûr que le programme fonctionne toujours en Nouvelle-Calédonie." Rester vigilant La Dass insiste, le moustique Wolbachia n'empêche pas les piqûres. Les gestes de prévention sont donc de mise. Pensez à éliminer les gîtes larvaires des récipients pouvant contenir de l'eau stagnante et protégez-vous des piqûres avec des produits répulsifs."   Image : Moustique Aedes aegypti vecteur de maladie comme la dengue, le zika ou le chikungunya. • Crédit : NELSON ALMEIDA / AFP

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Among Young Competitive Athletes Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

No, just no, vaccines also did not cause more cardiac arrests among athletes. They just did not.

"Died suddenly" is all a lie, it always was.

Apparently in addition to super high levels of flu everywhere, which is bad enough, the CDC is also now investigating cases of flu related acute necrotizing encephalitis in children.

DOGE wants to gut government agencies that protect you.

If Elon Musk really wanted to rein in government waste, he'd close tax loopholes and end subsidies that benefit the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.
