Soil iron (Fe II) and sulfide toxicities are major constraints to irrigated rice productivity in Burkina Faso, West Africa. This study aimed to mitigate these challenges by trialing drainage, fertilization, and iron-tolerant rice varieties, considering seasonal variations. Field experiments were conducted in the dry and rainy seasons using two(...)

Determinants of farmers’ adoption of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R.Br. ex G. Don.pods for weed management (Burkina Faso)
Sourabié Soumaïla, Thiombiano Célestin, Tahirou Moussa Seydou, Ouattara Ya Sadia Rabiatou, Zerbo Patrice
In Burkina Faso, the use of biological methods for weed control remains relatively limited and poorly adopted, largely due to a range of socio-demographic and economic barriers. This study aims to identify the determinants that constrain the adoption of Parkia biglobosa pods option for the sustainable management of agricultural weeds. A random(...)

Are freshwater stoneflies (Plecoptera) endangered in the West African Sahel region?
IDRISSA KABORE, ADAMA OUEDA, OTTO MOOG, ANDREAS MELCHER
Stoneflies are valuable indicators of ecological health and play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of West Africa, but the research on Stoneflies species are still very insipid and sparse. By understanding their distribution patterns, we can develop effective strategies to conserve these important insects and ensure the sustainabi(...)

Genetic characterization of Phytophthora colocasiae isolates causing taro leaf blight (TLB) in the Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso
Cécé Marie Claire, Traoré Renan Ernest, Sogoba Kouka Hamidou, Ouedraogo Nicolas
Taro leaf blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora colocasiae, represents a significant constraint to taro
production in the Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso. Effective and sustainable management of this disease
necessitates a thorough understanding of the genetic diversity of the pathogen. This study aimed to characterize
the g(...)

Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Grilled Meats and Human Feces in Two Regions of Chad
Denis Erbi, Sibiri Sylvain Rouamba, Abdelsalam Adoum Doutoum, Hissein Ousman Abdoullahi, Kadidja Gamougam, Aly Savadogo
The uncontrolled use of antibiotics to improve the productivity of food-producing animals and to treat human diseases poses a significant risk to public health. Residual antibiotics in animal tissues can promote the selection of resistant bacteria, posing serious health risks to consumers. The aim of this study was to assess the diversity and(...)

The present review explores recent scientific evidence on in situ folate
fortification through African staple foods fermentation. Specifically, it high-
lights, folate-producing microorganisms isolated from these foods, condi-
tions influencing folate production, and key factors determining the success
or failure of this approach. Relevant(...)

A field guide for sampling bats (Chiroptera) for eco-epidemiological studies
Shariful Islam, Napoko Malika Kangoyé, Andrés Velasco-Villa, Abdoulaye Hama Diallo, Robab Katani, Luis E. Escobar
Bats serve as reservoir hosts for numerous zoonotic pathogens of public health
significance, including coronaviruses, lyssaviruses, and henipaviruses, while
simultaneously playing critical roles in ecosystem function through pollination,
seed dispersal, and pest control. The increasing frequency of bat-associated disease
outbreaks has(...)

Behavior of potential insect pollinators visiting Moringa oleifera flowers
Babou Frédéric Bazié, Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, Salifou Kabré, Olivier Gnankine
The influence of potential insect pollinators is decisive in the fruiting process of many cross-pollinated plants. The aim
of this study was to determine the behaviour of potential pollinating insects visiting Moringa oleifera flowers. Collections were carried out from July to September 2018 and 2019, followed by monitoring of the behavior of(...)

An entomological surveillance was carried out in two districts of western Burkina Faso to assess the impact of
mass-distributed next-generation long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) (Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) LLINs and
Interceptor® G2) on Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations, focusing on insecticide resistance trends and residual

Natural α-amylase inhibitors may be beneficial in reducing the release of oligosaccharides from starch and
thereby delaying glucose absorption. This research aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against α-amylase and
the inhibition mode of hydroethanolic extracts from seven plants traditionally used in the treatment of type II
diabetes.(...)
