    Abstract This paper deals with the case of a long-term swimming ban on a beach in the urban area of La Rochelle on the French Atlantic coast due to recurring exceedances of sanitary standards regarding water quality. It questions the confrontation of a coastal urban population with an environmental contamination issue in a space usually practiced for leisure activities. This analysis is presented through an environmental geography approach considering nature-society interactions and focusing on the perception of environmental quality in the attractiveness of coastal areas. Through the presentation of a survey’s results conducted among the local population, the aim is to analyze the way in which the user population perceives the alteration of the environmental quality of the beach and the bathing water and whether their understanding is homogeneous. The ways in which the origin of the contamination and the prevention dimension of the prohibition measures affect the population's understanding are presented. The changes in the practice of the beach and in the perception of this leisure space are related to the mode of information reception on the environment’s contamination. The roles of memory effect and place attachment that lead to the maintenance of certain practices will also be presented.

    Abstract Background and Objectives: The incidence of tuberculosis lymphadenopathy (TBLA) is increasing, and diagnostic procedures lack sensitivity and are often highly invasive. TBLA may be asymptomatic, and differential diagnosis with other adenopathies (ADPs) is difficult. We evaluated a blood-cell interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) with two different stage-specific mycobacterial antigens for the differential diagnosis of ADP suspected of mycobacterial origin. Methods: Twenty-one patients were included and divided into three groups: (1) cervical/axillar ADP ( n = 8), (2) mediastinal ADP ( n = 10), and (3) disseminated ADP ( n = 3). The mycobacterial antigens used for the IGRA were the heparin-binding haemagglutinin (HBHA) and the early-secreted antigenic target-6 (ESAT-6), a latency-associated antigen and a bacterial replication-related antigen, respectively. Diagnosis of TBLA based on microbiological results and/or response to anti-TB treatment was obtained for 15 patients. Results: An IGRA profile highly suggestive of active TB (higher IFN-γ response to ESAT-6 compared to HBHA) was found for 3/6 TBLA patients from group 1, and for all the TBLA patients from groups 2 and 3, whereas this profile was not noticed in patients with a final alternative diagnosis. Conclusion: These results highlight the potential value of this combined HBHA/ESAT-6 IGRA as a triage test for the differential diagnosis of ADP.

    Abstract Copepods are among the most numerous animals, and they play an essential role in the marine trophic web and biogeochemical cycles. The genus Oithona is described as having the highest density of copepods. The Oithona male paradox describes the activity states of males, which are obliged to alternate between immobile and mobile phases for ambush feeding and mate searching, respectively, while the female is less mobile and feeds less. To characterize the molecular basis of this sexual dimorphism, we combined immunofluorescence, genomics, transcriptomics, and protein–protein interaction approaches and revealed the presence of a male-specific nervous ganglion. Transcriptomic analysis showed male-specific enrichment for nervous system development-related transcripts. Twenty-seven Lin12-Notch Repeat domain-containing protein coding genes (LDPGs) of the 75 LDPGs identified in the genome were specifically expressed in males. Furthermore, some LDPGs coded for proteins with predicted proteolytic activity, and proteases-associated transcripts showed a male-specific enrichment. Using yeast double–hybrid assays, we constructed a protein–protein interaction network involving two LDPs with proteases, extracellular matrix proteins, and neurogenesis-related proteins. We also hypothesized possible roles of the LDPGs in the development of the lateral ganglia through helping in extracellular matrix lysis, neurites growth guidance, and synapses genesis.

    Abstract Abstract Acclimation allowed by variation in gene or allele expression in natural populations is increasingly understood as a decisive mechanism, as much as adaptation, for species evolution. However, for small eukaryotic organisms, as species from zooplankton, classical methods face numerous challenges. Here, we propose the concept of allelic differential expression at the population‐scale (psADE) to investigate the variation in allele expression in natural populations. We developed a novel approach to detect psADE based on metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from environmental samples. This approach was applied on the widespread marine copepod, Oithona similis, by combining samples collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009–2013) and de novo transcriptome assemblies. Among a total of 25,768 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of O. similis, 572 (2.2%) were affected by psADE in at least one population (FDR < 0.05). The distribution of SNVs under psADE in different populations is significantly shaped by population genomic differentiation (Pearson r = 0.87, p = 5.6 × 10−30), supporting a partial genetic control of psADE. Moreover, a significant amount of SNVs (0.6%) were under both selection and psADE (p < .05), supporting the hypothesis that natural selection and psADE tends to impact common loci. Population‐scale allelic differential expression offers new insights into the gene regulation control in populations and its link with natural selection.

    Abstract Background Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) remains difficult to diagnose because of its non-specific clinical features and the lack of efficient microbiological tests. As delayed diagnosis is associated with high mortality rates, new diagnostic tools are needed. Methods and findings We investigated for 24 patients prospectively enrolled with a possible diagnosis of peritoneal TB, the diagnostic value of the analysis of IFN-γ production by peritoneal fluid lymphocytes in response to a short in vitro stimulation with mycobacterial antigens. The patients were classified in two groups: non-TB and confirmed or highly probable TB. Diagnosis of TB was based on microbiological and histopathological criteria and/or a favorable response to anti-TB treatment. The IFN-γ production by peritoneal CD4+ T lymphocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry after an overnight in vitro stimulation with three different mycobacterial antigens, purified protein derivative (PPD), heparin-binding haemagglutinin (HBHA) or early-secreted-antigen-target-6 (ESAT-6). The percentages of PPD-, HBHA- or ESAT-6-induced IFN-γ-producing peritoneal fluid CD4+ T lymphocytes were higher in the TB group than in the non-TB group (p = 0.0007, p = 0.0004, and p = 0.0002 respectively). Based on cut-off values determined by ROC curve analysis of the results from TB and highly probable TB compared to those of non-TB patients, the sensitivity of these three tests was 100% with a specificity of 92%. Conclusions The analysis of mycobacterial-induced IFN-γ production by peritoneal lymphocytes is a promising tool to reliably and rapidly diagnose peritoneal TB. Further studies should be performed on larger cohorts of patients in high-TB-incidence countries to confirm the clinical value of this new diagnostic approach for peritoneal TB.
