La faune herbivore sauvage africaine, mieux adaptée que la faune domestique et moins ravageuse de milieux fragiles, doit être préservée et développée en tant que source de protéines. Le sujet est d'autant plus d'actualité après 40 ans, que la viande sauvage est toujours très appréciée, essentiellement sous forme de viande de brousse. Braconnée et sans surveillance sanitaire, la viande de brousse n'est une solution ni durable ni responsable, dans le contexte démographique et anthropozoonotique des maladies émergentes.

Le trafic illégal de viande de brousse représente une menace importante pour la conservation de la biodiversité et peut contribuer à l'émergence et la propagation de maladies infectieuses chez l’Homme. À ce jour, très peu d'études se sont focalisées sur le rôle du commerce et de la consommation de produits issus de la faune sauvage, en particulier d'origine primate, comme une source potentielle d'infections humaines. Dans cette étude, nous rapportons le criblage de pathogènes viraux dans de la viande de brousse simienne d’origine africaine saisie par les douanes françaises à l'aéroport de Toulouse-Blagnac.

A Gallo-roman horse from the ancient site of Iwuy (“Val-de-Calvigny”, Nord, France) showed extensive lesions of severe vertebral ankylosing hyperostosis reliable to “ankylosing spondylarthritis/-osis” and “deforming spondylarthrosis”. Discussing the case gives the opportunity to a comparative and critical review of spinal hyperostosing and ankylosing diseases in horse and man.

Madagascar has been isolated from Gondwana during the Mesozoic : she separated from the african continent, ca. 180 Ma, and from the indian subcontinent, ca 150 Ma. Since then, biological evolution followed its own rythm, what Philibert COMMERSON had yet foreseen in 1771, writing that Madagascar was the "laboratory of nature" and that "Madagascar was the true land of promise for naturalists".
After almost two hundred years of paleontological researches, it is time for a mapped balance sheet of Madagascar : it is the subject of this thesis.
The literature on Madagascar is extremely abundant, and we brought together more than 2000 publications, printed between 1829 and 2015, in relation to the paleontology of the Island. They allowed to identify nearly 3500 fossil species, 3% of Plants (104 taxa), 89% of "Invertebrates" (231 Foraminifera, 183 Cnidarians, 14 Bryozoans, 56 Brachiopods, 6 Annelids, 392 Bivalves, 206 Gasteropods, 1746 Cephalopods, 129 Crustaceans, 60 terrestrial Arthropods and 85 Echinoderms) and 8% of Vertebrates (76 "Fishes", 7 Amphibians, 29 "Reptiles", 24 non avian Archosauromorphs, 52 Birds and 82 Mammals).
These taxa are distributed in over 400 paleontological sites from the upper Paleozoïc (Permian) to the Quaternary (Holocen), distributed as follows : twenty Permian sites, 24 Triassic, over 110 Jurassic, over 130 Cretaceous, 16 Tertiary et 42 Quaternary sites.
Some taxonomic groups are over-represented (eg ammonites), while others should promise new discoveries (archosaurs, mammals!…). The periods themselves have a different focus (Mesozoic vs. Cenozoic) and in the same vein, the paleontological sites are unevenly distributed in the territory (the Northwest is the most explored). The research potential is still very high.
Fossils and paleontological sites are placed in a map database with comments. Thus we have achieved, at least we hope, an useful basic tool for scientists, also a "global" book for teachers and naturalists, and a support to reflection and decision for Madagascar administrators and politicians at both regional and national levels.

In the XVIIIth century, the Scientists of Toulouse created a Society of Sciences, which became in 1746 AD the Royal Academy of Sciences, Inscriptions and Fine Letters of
Toulouse by the King's letters patent. The study is based on the works of the Academy during the Enlightenment Era. It
deals with natural history and medical topics, divided into four domains: human medicine; animal medicine; zoology and paleontology; botany, pharmacy and chemistry. These fields
are unequally treated, effectively, three out of four of the 495 texts deal with human health. About twenty veterinary dissertations are reproduced. This gives an idea of the way in which the scientists tackled such problems as animal teratology, rabies (an important zoonosis), the so-called epizooty of cattle plague which devastated the Province of Languedoc in 1775, and even a new English treatment of the adder bite, endly some individual animal pathological cases. Some of these concerns have been topical until today.

Comme les années précédentes, les ossements animaux mis au jour pendant la mission de juillet 2015 sur le site de Tamiriin Ulán Khoshuu (TUK) ont permis de recueillir les données (analyse des restes découverts dans les tombes, ostéométrie) et de les commenter. Des prélèvements systématiques destinés à des recherches d'ADN, d'éléments traces et aux datations au radiocarbone ont été effectués. Nous avons continué à prélever dans les environs des spécimens blanchis de la faune domestique actuelle. Les abréviations PS, PNS, DS, DNS, TS, TNS signifient que l'épiphyse proximale (P) ou distale (S) crâniale (cr) ou caudale (cd) ou les tubérosités (T) des os sont soudées (S) ou non soudées (NS). La bibliographie est réduite aux références non citées dans les deux précédents rapports.
