Morphology and biology of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) immature instar for a biological control perspective
Salifou Kabre, · Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, · Fousseni Traore, · Antoine Waongo and · Olivier Gnankine
Moringa oleifera (Capparales: Moringaceae) is a plant grown for its roots, stems and leaves. However, the leaves are
attacked by insect pests including larvae of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). These larvae cause a significant
reduction in leaf yield and loss of income for growers. This study was conducted to determine some morpho(...)

High Frequency of CYP2C19*3 Heterozygotes Among Patients Under Clopidogrel Treatment in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Yves Donald Kagambega, Teega-Wende Clarisse Ouedraogo, Lassina Traore, Modeste Ouedraogo, Nobila Valentin Yameogo, Jacques Simpore
Background and Objective:Despite its widespread use in cardiology, patient's response to clopidogrel exhibits significant interindividual variability, often leading to persistent thromboembolic complications. The hepatic Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) superfamily plays a pivotal role in clopidogrelʼs conversion to its active form and CYP2C19 p(...)

Phenotypical variability of four types of sorghum cultivated in intercropping conditions in two agroclimatic areas of Burkina Faso based on qualitative traits
Sévérin Tuina,; Josiane Tiendrebéogo; Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an indigenous crop in Africa, primarily cultivated to meet the food and commercial needs of rural communities. In Burkina Faso, various types of sorghum are cultivated together, potentially increasing gene flow and influencing the evolution of key morphological traits of interest. This study compared t(...)

Effects of climate on the phenology of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) and the distribution of associated insects in Burkina Faso
DAO Zézouma Anselme, ROMBA Rahim, JALOUX Bruno, OUEDRAOGO Amadé, GNANKINE Olivier
Climate change and global warming in the Sahelian region cause dramatic drought and advancing of the desert. This phenomenon could affect the plant survival and community composition, but even for surviving plants, it could affect their phenology and the insect community associated with them. In a space-for-time approach, we studied the case o(...)

OUATTARA Minata, OUEDRAOGO Ilassa, ZONGO Bilassé, ZONGO Frédéric
Microalgae play a fundamental role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. The diversity and structure
of the microalgae community are always influenced by the availability of nutrients in the environment, which is one
of the causes of water eutrophication. Microalgae are the best biological indicators of pollution and eutrophication
