Self-Immolative Systems in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
Windbedema Prisca Ouédraogo, Thomas Cailly, Valérie Collot
Self-immolative systems first emerged in prodrug chemistry in the 1980s. Since then, several types of self-immolative systems have been developed. Despite their structural differences, all self-immolative systems operate on the same principle: an intramolecular reaction cascade triggered by a specific stimulus, ultimately leading to the releas(...)

Low-Regret Control of a Nonlinear Hyperbolic Problem With Missing Data.
Biéliémi LAMIEN, Sadou TAO, Satafa SANOGO.
In this paper, we characterise the control of an ill-posed nonlinear evolution problem. More precisely, we study the
low-regret control of a system governed by a hyperbolic operator by using the regularisation approach, which makes
it possible to generate missing data. We obtain singular optimal systems characterising the low-regret control(...)

Evaluation of the Agro-Morphological Variability of Okra Ecotypes from a Humid and a Semi-Arid Zone in West Africa
Akpadji A. Rébecca Amaba, Windpouiré V. Tarpaga, Rasmata Nana, Abdoul Hadi Diaby Kassamba and Rafiatou Sèmata Fofana
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench), a fruiting legume of the Malvaceae family, is widely cultivated in Africa and Asia for its nutritional and economic value. In Burkina Faso, despite its importance and several studies, the varietal offer registered in the national catalog remains limited to a single improved variety, hindering crop div(...)

Unpacking the role of neglected and underutilized plant species in smallholder diversification strategies for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa: Insights from Senegal
Quanli Wang a, Eric Brako Dompreh a b, Alassane Diouf c, Anna Porcuna-Ferrer d e, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma f, Miyuki Iiyama g, Mame Samba Mbaye c, Fatouh Kine Gueye c, Kangbéni Dimobe f h, Mohammad Naushad Emmambux i, Adjima Thiombiano f, Alexandros Gasparatos a
Neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) can contribute to food security, poverty alleviation, agrodiversity conservation and climate resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). One avenue for realizing NUS’ potential is by making them components of smallholder diversification strategies. However, we lack clear evidence about how NUS are ac(...)

Environmental isolation and characterization of Escherichia coli phages from Burkina Faso
Nafissatou Ouédraogo, Moussa Zerbo, Abdoulaye Kuan Traoré, Audrey Addablah, Oumarou Soro, Solange Kakou-Ngazoa & Nicolas Barro
Escherichia coli ( E. coli) is a major cause of human and animal infections
and is commonly treated with antibiotics, whose overuse promotes the
emergence of resistant strains. The global rise of antimicrobial resistance
has renewed interest in bacteriophages as alternative or complementary
antibacterial agents. However, data on phage dive(...)

Méthodologie pour une définition de cibles minéralisées : cas du prospect de Niou au centre du Burkina Faso
Séta NABA, Adama Ouédraogo YAMEOGO, Yacouba OUEDRAOGO, Barkwendé Hervé Fabrice OUEDRAOGO
Le prospect de Niou est situé à environ 50 km au Nord de Ouagadougou, la capitale du Burkina Faso. Ce prospect est la propriété de NordGold/Bissa dont les objectifs, depuis l’inauguration de sa mine de Bissa en 2013 sont de mettre en évidence des gisements satellites aux alentours pour accroitre les tonnages. Cela passe préalablement par la dé(...)

Biology of the striped borer, Chilo zacconius Bleszynski (1970) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Burkina Faso
Kossi Latevi, Pélagie R. Nadinga, Delphine Ouattara, Innocent Sibiri Yaméogo, Olivier Gnankiné and Souleymane Nacro
Chilo zacconius is one of the main rice stem borers in Burkina Faso. A study was conducted on its biology under controlled conditions of 25.46 ±1 °C temperature, 75.94 ±4% relative humidity, and a 12-hour photoperiod. To do this, immature populations of the insect were sampled in rice fields at Bama, western Burkina Faso for mass rearing of th(...)

Five aromatic plants against wild malaria vectors: an eco-friendly approach against Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Mahamoudou Balboné, Olivier Gnankiné and Moussa Namountougou
Background Vector control strategies have predominantly relied on the use of synthetic chemicals, leading
to the widespread of resistance among malaria vector populations. This growing resistance has prompted increased
interest in alternative control methods, particularly those based on plant-derived essential oils (EOs). The present
study(...)

Background
The use of digital tools in healthcare remains limited in many countries, although their use by healthcare professionals is key to the effective implementation of digital health. In 2023, Burkina Faso introduced the Minimal Digital Ecosystem (MDE), a set of eight digital tools designed to support healthcare providers in clinical ca(...)

Clinical and etiological characteristics of new-onset epilepsy in the elderly
Djingri Labodi Lompo, Raphael Marie Patrick Kabore, Adeline Marie Julie Kyelem, Alassane Zoungrana, Fabienne M. Yabtouta Kere, Melody Zeinab Gnampa, Christian Napon, Athanase Millogo
Objectives: The population over 60–65 years of age is growing rapidly worldwide, even in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), leading to an increase in risk factors for epilepsy in the elderly. In SSA, there is little epidemiological data on epilepsy in the elderly; hence, the present study aims to describe the clinical and etiological characteristics of(...)

Isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and L1-data
Boureima SAWADOGO, Stanislas OUARO, Adama KABORE
The purpose of this paper is to study an isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet
boundary condition and L1-data in a variable-exponent Sobolev space. We start by showing
the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution when the source term is bounded. Finally,
we use a problem-based approach to prove the existence and uniqueness o(...)
