Arnaud Kouraogo, Fabienne Marie Soudre, Raoul Karfo, Ollo Da, Alice Kiba-Koumare, Zida Abibata, Elie Kabre, Jean Sakande
Introduction: Fructosamine is a stable ketoamine, formed by the reaction between glucose and the amino group of proteins (mainly albumin, but also globulins and lipoproteins). It indicates average blood glucose concentrations of 2 to 3 weeks for monitoring and controlling diabetes. However, studies on fructosamine based on the characteristics(...)

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) presents many similar responses to drought and salinity, two water stress factors
Mouniratou Zoungrana, Moumouni Konate, Jacob Sanou, Pauline Bationo Kando
The current trend of climate change revived researchers’ interest in the study of exacerbated abiotic constraints that hamper crop production, such as drought and salinity. Although they are distinct stress factors, both drought and salinity result in water stress for plants. Water stress is an environmental constraint that threatens crop prod(...)

Socio-cultural Factors Affecting Traditional Knowledge and the Cultural Significance of the Aromatic and Medicinal Plant, Boswellia dalzielii Hutch., in Burkina Faso
Sabo P., Tiétiambou F.R.S., Guindé H.T., Salako K.V., Johnson S., DeCarlo A., Mensah S., Glèlè-Kakaï R., Ouédraogo A.
The medicinal plant Boswellia dalzielii is well known and widely used by local communities in West Africa. However, detailed information about this knowledge and its distribution among local people remains poorly documented. We assessed traditional knowledge (TK) regarding the use of B. dalzielii in communities in Burkina Faso. We conducted 16(...)

Background
The widespread use of histidine-rich protein 2 (HPR2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), specific to Plasmodium falciparum in endemic areas may underestimate the weight of minor species such as P. malariae and P. ovale in malaria transmission. This study aimed to determine the extent of undetected P. malariae and P. ovale infecti(...)
