Participatory selection of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. landraces in Burkina Faso: characteristics of interest and selection criteria for leaves
Clémence Zerbo, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema, Zakaria Kiebre, Mariam Kiebre, Fanta Reine Sheirita Tietiambou, Hamid El Bilali, Filippo Acasto, Jacques Nanema and Mahamadou Sawadogo
Introduction: Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is an economically important and widely adopted crop in Burkina Faso. Yet its production is constrained by the lack of improved, locally adapted varieties. This study used a participatory variety selection approach to identify preferred landraces and selection criteria across two agroecological zones: Sudan(...)

MANO, Komandan, Paténéma SAWADOGO, Yamba SINARE, Patricia SOUBEIGA, Rimwaodo Pierre SILGA, Magloire BOUNGOU, and Awa GNEME
In Burkina Faso, livelihoods rely strongly on the primary sector such as livestock farming. Owing to their high reproductive potential, rapid growth, and relatively low production costs, rabbit farming appeared increasingly as a sustainable source of income and animal protein. However, rabbits are frequently affected by parasitic infections, w(...)

Artisanal Dried Mango Production in Chad: Process Characterization, Hygiene Challenges and Proposed Optimization
Al-lamadine Mahamat, Brahim Adoum Ahmat, Alhadj Markhous Nazal, Abdoullahi Hissein Ousman, Thierry Togdjim, Hal Souakar Ambera, Aly SAVADOGO and Abdelsalam Tidjani
Dried mangoes are an essential socio-economic resource in Chad, with 80% of production done via artisanal solar drying. However, current methods are slow (2 to 3 days) and carried out at low temperatures (30–45∘C), which promotes microbial proliferation and alters product quality. The objective of this study is to evaluate production and sales(...)

The neurobiological mechanisms differentiating bipolar disorder type I (BD-I) from type II (BD-II) remain poorly understood. A comprehensive synthesis systematically comparing neuroimaging findings between BD subtypes is lacking. We conducted a systematic review (PubMed, Scopus, up to March 2024), including structural MRI, functional MRI, and(...)

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(...)

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

Gram-negative bacilli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are multidrug-resistant bacteria that pose significant therapeutic challenges. Their infections often necessitate the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, which has contributed to the emergence of metallo β-lactamases. Among these, New Delhi metallo-β-lact(...)
