Salif Berthé; Wendmanegda Hermann Tondé; , Pingawindé Sawadogo; Josiane Tiendrebeogo; Korotimi Démé; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Sweet stalk sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a type of sorghum characterized by the sugary juice in its fresh stalk. It is predominantly cultivated in Burkina Faso for its stalk, which is consumed as a snack. However, sweet stalk sorghum remains underutilized in Burkina Faso due to the lack of awareness of its vast potential. Furthermo(...)

Prevalence and Determinants of Anaemia during Pregnancy in the Central Region of Burkina Faso: Case of the Malaria Peak and Harvesting Period
Maxime Langam, Philippe Augustin Nikiema, Véronique Kassinga, Maurice Sondo, Wendkuuni Florencia Djigma, Jacques Simpore
Anaemia is a global public health problem that particularly affects pregnant women and children. Anaemia during pregnancy has harmful consequences
for the health of both mother and foetus. However, little is known about the risk factors for targeted interventions. The aim of this study was to determine
the prevalence and factors associated(...)

Due to a lack of resources, the diagnosis of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a challenge in Burkina Faso and West Africa, making MRSA surveillance difficult. In our study, we included 33 beta-lactam resistant S. aureus isolates from the Ouagadougou region which we further tested for susceptibility to cefoxitin using stand(...)

Modelling the effects of diurnal temperature variation on malaria infection dynamics in mosquitoes.
Stopard IJ, Sanou A, Suh E, Cator LJ, Thomas MB, Guelbéogo WM, Sagnon N, Lambert B, Churcher TS.
Mosquito infection experiments that characterise how sporogony changes with temperature are increasingly being used to parameterise malaria transmission models. In these experiments, mosquitoes are exposed to a range of temperatures, with each group experiencing a single temperature. Diurnal temperature variation can, however, affect the sporo(...)

Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays have played a major role in significantly reducing the burden of malaria. However, the management of mosquitoes resistant to current insecticides continues to be challenging. A promising new strategy is drug-based vector control where drugs are administered to vector hosts (human/animal(...)

Local perceptions of ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe) crop management in Burkina Faso
Korotimi Deme, Moumouni Konate, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Lardia Ali Bougma, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc., Zingiberaceae) is a highly profitable crop of great interest to growers and processors. However, there is an insufficiency of knowledge about the production practices implemented in the main production areas. This study described farmers' knowledge of ginger diversity, production constraints, tuber conservati(...)

Introduction: In Sub-Saharan Africa, the true extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is not known due to the low number of tests performed and the large proportion of asymptomatic cases in the populations. This was a seroprevalence study of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood donors to assess the extent of virus circulation in Burkina Faso.
