  abstract = {{I}nfectious diseases are caused by a pathogenic microorganism (virus, bacterium, parasite or fungus) and have a significant impact on public and animal health. {I}n public health, they are one of the leading causes of death and are priorities in the poorest countries. {I}n animal health, they can be devastating and radical measures are taken to prevent them from spreading. {I}nfectious diseases therefore have major economic consequences, in terms of both healthcare and livestock production losses. {I}n recent decades, we have seen the emergence of a significant number of infectious diseases, such as chikungunya, avian influenza and {E}bola. {T}hese diseases have spread around the world all the more dramatically due to the rapid movement of populations and goods. {T}he majority of pathogenic agents responsible for these emergences are zoonotic (transmitted from animals to humans or vice versa). {T}here has also been a significant increase in vector-borne diseases – that is diseases whose pathogenic agent is transmitted through the intermediary of a vector. {V}ectors are arthropods (e.g. mosquitoes, fleas, sand flies and reduviid bugs) and acarids (e.g. ticks). {O}ne example is the mosquito {A}edes albopictus, more commonly known as the "tiger mosquito", which is a vector for the chikungunya and dengue viruses. {T}he geographical distribution of this mosquito is increasing year by year. {T}his species was responsible for the first indigenous cases of chikungunya in {F}rance in 2010.},
