Œdème papillaire bilatéral de stase et décollement séreux rétinien révélant une hypertension intracrânienne chez un adolescent : à propos d’un cas.
Mariam DOLO¹, Félix TAGBINO¹, Amadou OUATTARA², Armand MEDA¹, Habibou SAVADOGO¹, Walid KAGONE¹, Pierre DJIGUIMDE³.
L'œdème papillaire est l'expression clinique d'affections diverses. Il s'agit d'un gonflement liquidien et /ou axonal de la tête du nerf optique dû à un blocage du flux axoplasmique
au niveau de la lame criblée.
L’hypertension intracrânienne idiopathique est de loin la cause la plus fréquente d’œdème papillaire bilatéral de stase aiguë, et s(...)

Hyacinthe K. Toe, Moussa W. Guelbeogo, Soumananaba Zongo, Aboubacar Sombie, Athanase Badolo
Arboviral diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever are major public health concerns in Africa, with
Aedes aegypti as the primary vector. Insecticide-based interventions remain the cornerstone of vector control,
but their effectiveness is increasingly compromised by the evolution of resistance. Monitoring resistance
dynamics is(...)

Food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges in Niger, where protein-
rich crops are critically needed. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is recognized as
a strategic legume due to its high protein content (typically 35–45%) and valuable
techno-functional properties reported in the literature. However, local accessions and

Evaluation of cowpea varietal response to bacterial blight in Burkina Faso: Implications for breeding and integrated disease management
SOME N. Euvaris, Boubakar Ouattara Benoit Joseph Batieno Zoéyandé Oumarou Dianda Kadidia Koita Nicolas WG Chen Marie-Agnès Jacques Issa Wonni
Cowpea bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. vignicola (Burkh.), is increasingly becoming a major constraint to cowpea productivity worldwide. The use of genotypes that are resistant and/or tolerant to the pathogen is an effective means of controlling the disease. In this study, we evaluated the response of 12 cowpea genotypes of B(...)

Alamou M. Henri Adje, Idrissa Kabore, Siéfo Parfait Gnoumou, Emmanuel Midibahaye Hema
L’intensification des activités anthropiques et l’expansion démographique détruisent les habitats des serpents, affectant ainsi leurdiversité et abondance. Cela a pour conséquence, la diminution ou la perte de leur biodiversité. Cependant, au Burkina Faso, les travaux sur le peuplement des serpents sont très fragmentaires et datent de plusieur(...)
