Agro-morphological Diversity of the ‘Folou’ or ‘Flado’ Farmers' Variety Group of Yams Belonging to the D. alata Species in Burkina Faso
Siédou Sory, Nicolas Ouedraogo, Patrice Balma, Djakaridja Tiama, Koussao SOME and Renan Ernest Traoré
The yams grown in Burkina Faso belong to the Folou or Flado farming group in the Gourounsi and
Lobiri national languages, and can be found in several of the country's agrosystems. However, their
agro-morphological diversity is not yet well established. The aim of this study is to determine the
agro-morphological variability of yam cultiv(...)

Reduction of Malnutrition Related to Unsafe Water Consumption in Developing Countries: Potabilization of Surface Water and Traditional Well Water, with Plant Extracts
Frédéric Anderson Konkobo ,Mamounata Diao , Paul Windinpsidi Savadogo , Roger Dakuyo , Noëlle Edwige Roamba , Sandrine Zongo and Mamoudou Hama Dicko
Abstract: The consumption of unsafe water in rural areas is a real public health problem in developing
countries. This situation mainly affects children under five years of age and causes several deaths
and many cases of malnutrition every year. The objective of this study was to evaluate and optimize
the capacity of four local plant extrac(...)

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common cause of significant morbidity, affecting millions of women worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 75%of women of childbearing age will have at least one episode of candidiasis in their lifetime. In the last decades, resistance to azoles has become a public health problem. Although(...)

Cowpea is one of the most important crops in addressing food insecurity in less developed rural communities. However, due to certain inappropriate production and storage conditions, this crop is likely to be contaminated by fungi capable of producing mycotoxins. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine on post-harvest processing for(...)

The Frequency of CYP2C19*2 Gene Polymorphisms in Burkina Faso Patients Treated with Clopidogrel
Yves Donald Kagambèga, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Teega-Wendé Clarisse Ouédraogo, Lassina Traoré, Nobila Valentin Yaméogo, Jacques Simpore
Purpose: The hepatic cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) superfamily plays a crucial role in converting clopidogrel into its active form. Polymorphisms in CYP2C19 significantly contribute to the interindividual variability observed, often resulting in persistent thromboembolic complications. This study aimed to assess the frequency of the CYP2C19*2(...)

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(...)

Exploring the spoilage microbiota of raw and processed meats under different storage environments and its related profiling methods: a review
Bassirou Ndoye, Mamoudou H. Dicko & Colin Gill
Raw and processed meats are potentially rich ecosystems colonized by a variety of
microorganisms whose growth and viability are strongly dependent on storage
conditions. Furthermore, for their own adaptations, microorganisms can release
exocellular compounds which contribute to meat spoilage due to changes in
physicochemical parameters acc(...)

Background: Dengue fever is a major public health problem in Burkina Faso. Some people infected by dengue virus develop a severe dengue (SD) and potentially fatal form of the disease which are dengue hemorrhagic syndrome or dengue shock syndrome. Host genetic factors may be relevant, predisposing some individuals to severe disease. Polymorphis(...)
