International audience ; Introduction: Malaria has long been endemic in the Union of Comoros. Since 2007, the Comorian government has been conducting a national strategy for eradicating malaria by 2016. Between 2010 and 2014, the number of malaria cases has radically fallen by more than 90%. This study aims at describing the spatial patterns of the epidemiology of malaria and at identifying risk factors through a geographical approach. Method: Monthly cases, as reported by the "Programme National de lutte Contre le paludisme" (PNLP) from 2010 to 2014, were geo-referenced in the three islands (i.e. Grande Comore, Moheli and Anjouan) at two different scales: by sanitary district and by health center. In Grande Comore, malaria cases confirmed by microscopic exam during the active control from 2012 to 2014 were geo-localized at the village scale. Data on environmental factors, including meteorology and land use (analyzed by remote sensing of SPOT 5 satellite images) but also information on malaria control actions were integrated into a spatial database. We realized statistical and spatial analyses to show the relationships between this dataset and malaria information.Results: The mapping of malaria incidence reveals spatial and temporal variations between and within islands. In the 7 districts of Anjouan and in 2 of the 3 districts of Moheli, the incidence is less than 1 case per 100,000 inhabitants in 2014. In contrast, the incidence remains higher in every health district of Grande Comore with more than 4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2014. This is consistent with the reduction of prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum that decreased from 24% in 2012 to 2 in 2014 in Grande Comore. Also, Long before the two other islands, Moheli has benefited from a campaign of indoor insecticide spraying and a population mass treatment by Artequick and Primaquine between 2007 and 2009. In addition, we highlight spatial relationships between malaria incidences and environmental factors in Grande Comore.Conclusion: This study ...

Grâce à un financement du Fonds de Coopération Régionale de la Collectivité de Mayotte, une prospection a été réalisée visant à identifier les contraintes phytosanitaires prévalant dans les plantations de l'archipel des Comores (Figure 1). L'enquête a été réalisée à Mayotte, Grande Comore et Moheli entre le 23 avril et le 7 mai 2007, en collaboration avec la Chambre d'Agriculture, de la Pêche et de l'Aquaculture à Mayotte et le GIE "Maison des Epices" dans l'Union des Comores. L'île d'Anjouan n'a pu être prospectée comme prévu, en raison des tensions politiques qui n'ont cessé de prévaloir depuis mai 2007. Ce compte-rendu fait suite au rapport intermédiaire rédigé en juin 2007. II rappelle quelques éléments sur la diversité et la pathologie des vanilliers dans l'Océan Indien, présente les résultats des analyses effectuées sur les échantillons collectés au cours de la prospection et formule des recommandations techniques pour la gestion des ressources génétiques et des bio-agresseurs des vanilliers de l'archipel.

La Revista International, en su número del pasado mes de marzo, se refirió a la acción de emergencia, emprendida por el CICR en Madagascar y en las islas Comores en favor de los habitantes de estas últimas que, establecidos anteriormente en Madagascar, deseaban ser, o acababan de ser, repatriados a su país de origen. Ya no es necesaria la intervención del CICR, desde finales de enero, en Madagascar, pero, en las islas Comores, el delegado médico y la enfermera del CICR hubieron de continuar su labor durante todo el mes de febrero.Su tarea no era fácil, pues al llegar a las Comores los repatriados se alojaban, con distintas familias, antes de reunirse con sus parientes en la Gran Comor o en las islas Anjouan y Moheli. La acción del delegado médico consistió, al principio, en supervisar, junto con un médico local, la acogida y las oportunas medidas sanitarias a la llegada de los repatriados —principalmente en materia de vacunas— luego, en hacer una evaluación médica completa en los establecimientos de asistencia de las tres islas.
