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(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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(...)
