The measured changes in the levels of infant and young child feeding
interventions included in this study led to a reduction in the number of cases of
chronic malnutrition in children under 6 months of age in the second scenario
projections. However, no cases of chronic malnutrition were prevented among
children in the 6–59 month age group(...)

Tree populations have declined substantially in West Africa in recent decades, raising concerns since trees provide numerous ecosystem goods and services. Regional information on the population status of tree species could guide more effective conservation and regeneration of natural vegetation. Here, we report results of the first regional an(...)

Idrissa Ouédraogo, Victor Bancé, Noëllie W. Kpoda, Adama Ouéda
In Burkina Faso, small reservoirs play a key ecological and socio-economic role for populations. Unfortunately, their biodiversity, ecological functioning, and response to diverse environmental changes remain less understood. This study aimed to determine the taxonomic composition and the temporal dynamics of macroinvertebrates and their envir(...)

Antioxidant effects and protective potential of fruit extracts of Detarium microcarpum against arsenic trioxide-induced human lymphocytes DNA oxidative damages
Ablassé Rouamba, Vincent Ouedraogo, Maurice Ouédraogo, Martin Kiendrebeogo
Objective: The integrity of the DNA is continously menaced by the harmful genotoxic compounds. The endogenous system responsible for preserving the DNA integrity, often fails following a massive influx of these genotoxic compounds. Reseaches on exogenous bioactive compounds from fruits and vegetables are necessary. This study was designed to e(...)

Blaise Waongo, L. Ndayishimiye, F. Tapsoba, Wend-Soo Abel Zongo, Jinquan Li, A. Savadogo
Experimental studies, though often very costly, lead to the discovery of known antimicrobial products. Yet, pathogenic microorganisms are proving increasingly resistant to pre-existing antimicrobial molecules, and this is a cause for worldwide concern. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new molecules that could serve as alternatives in t(...)
