Abstract

The French healthcare system is organised according to a political, geographical and demographic framework. In France today, less than 20 hospitals have dedicated intensive care units for acute stroke patients. In the 1999 national survey, 94% of stroke patients were admitted to public hospitals, 35% were treated in neurological wards and 4% had access to an intensive care stroke unit. To improve the quality of care and resource utilisation, a national plan for stroke will be implemented at regional level during the next five-year plan. After a long period of status quo, many positive actions for stroke care have been initiated within a couple of years, based on the evidence of more effective stroke treatments, such as thrombolysis and the specialist care provided by stroke units.

Novel insights into tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus introduction and evolution in Southeastern France using an advanced long-read sequencing workflow.

The Mediterranean population of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV-ES) is characterized by a high genetic uniformity, distinguishing it from its Asian counterparts. ToLCNDV-ES is thought to have a monophyletic origin, likely resulting from a single recombination event, prior to its spread throughout the Mediterranean region. Following its first detection in southeastern France in 2020, ToLCNDV-ES re-emerged in France in 2022. Our analysis based on advanced long-read sequencing, circular DNA profiling, and phylogeny indicates both local persistence of French ToLCNDV-ES and multiple independent introduction events. Signatures of positive selection were identified in French ToLCNDV-ES populations, whereas no clear evidence of recombination was found. Bayesian time-structured phylogenetic analyses suggest that introductions in France occurred between 2018 and 2021 from the major ToLCNDV-ES clade, while several Italian ToLCNDV-ES isolates diverged prior to the virus introduction in the Mediterranean basin. Overall, this study demonstrates the value of an optimized long-read sequencing approach for resolving circular DNA virus diversity, and sheds light on the complex evolutionary history of ToLCNDV-ES in the Mediterranean Basin, particularly in southeastern France.
