\n Chaque ann\u00e9e, des centaines de milliers de ces arthropodes pr\u00e9historiques sont captur\u00e9s et saign\u00e9s pour v\u00e9rifier l\u2019innocuit\u00e9 des m\u00e9dicaments injectables. Mais les limules sont en danger, et les alternatives encore trop peu utilis\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Avec sa carapace en forme de casque et sa longue queue rigide, la limule ressemble davantage \u00e0 une cr\u00e9ature sortie d\u2019un film de science-fiction qu\u2019\u00e0 un animal essentiel \u00e0 la m\u00e9decine moderne. \u00ab\u00a0On dit souvent que les limules ressemblent au \u00ab\u00a0facehugger\u00a0\u00bb du film\u00a0Alien\u00a0<\/a>\u00bb, s\u2019amuse Richard Gorman, chercheur en \u00e9thique et sciences sociales \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 du Sussex et sp\u00e9cialiste des limules.<\/p>\n

Apparues il y a 450\u00a0millions d\u2019ann\u00e9es, elles ont travers\u00e9 les \u00e8res g\u00e9ologiques, survivant aux glaciations et \u00e0 cinq\u00a0extinctions de masse,<\/a>\u00a0avec une apparence qui a tr\u00e8s peu \u00e9volu\u00e9 et leur vaut d\u2019\u00eatre surnomm\u00e9s, \u00e0 tort, \u00ab\u00a0fossiles vivants\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Et pourtant, si vous \u00eates vaccin\u00e9s ou que vous avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 re\u00e7u une perfusion, vous avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 s\u00fbrement b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9, indirectement, de cet animal. En effet, son sang, bleu, car riche en cuivre, est utilis\u00e9 pour v\u00e9rifier l\u2019innocuit\u00e9 des m\u00e9dicaments injectables (vaccins, perfusions).<\/p>\n
