Hydro-ecological conditions for the appearance of botulism and the occurrence of toxins in ponds

CHABOTÉ

Micropollutants

- 31/01/2025

CHABOTÉ is a research project run by the MRCA team in collaboration with the OFB (Office Français de la Biodiversité) and the ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail).
This project will focus on studying changes in the bioavailability of C. botulinum over time and space in the biotic and abiotic compartments to which wildlife is exposed in various regions (Grand Est and Nouvelle-Aquitaine).
Hydro-morphological variations in the pond and flows between the different compartments, as well as environmental conditions, will be associated with variations in the bacteria, spores and toxins being studied.
This project, coordinated by Damien Banas (L2A) and Ariane Payne (ANSES), lies at the heart of the laboratory's cross-disciplinary 'water-contaminants' research theme.
