Question 26 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Charles Alloncle draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry to the extremely worrying spread of the West Nile virus (“Nile fever”) in horse farms in the Camargue. This virus, transmitted by mosquitoes which become contaminated by biting infected wild birds, is most of the time benign for humans but has already caused several deaths of equines, particularly in breeding farms in the Petite Camargue (Hérault). Camargue breeders are very worried and are warning of the urgency of the situation. They report the absence of large-scale mosquito control campaigns despite regular requests to the competent authorities. In particular, they are calling for an emergency mosquito control campaign, basic communication of information regarding the spread of the virus and preventive measures. to be taken by breeders and directors of equestrian centers, the establishment of a 7 days a week on-call service for laboratories, a compensation procedure as well as the establishment of a strategic stock of vaccines. In this context, he asks her what emergency measures she intends to take in order to avoid a new health and economic disaster for horse breeders in Camargue, almost twenty years after a first epidemic. the lessons of which have, it seems, not been learned.
