Tiono, Sodiomon B. Sirima, Athanase Badolo & Jacques Simporé
Despite significant progress, malaria remains a public health problem in many regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This situation is partly explained by the mosquito’s resistance to insecticides and the emergence of parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs. Indeed, in spite of the various vectors’ controls, insecticide resistance emer(...)

Diversité végétale des bois sacrés suivant les secteurs phytogéographiques au Burkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Savadogo S., Dimobe K., Ouoba YH
Au Burkina Faso, les bois sacrés sont des formations végétales protégées par les populations à des fins cultuelles. Ils sont préservés de l’action destructrice humaine car ils suscitent la crainte parmi les populations. Afin de montrer leur importance dans la conservation de la diversité végétale, les bois sacrés ont fait l’objet d’étude dans(...)
