Effects of Fruits of Aqueous Extract of Sarcocephalus Latifolius B. on Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats
DA Filkpièrè Léonard, BALLO Mahamadou, SOUDRE Albert, TINDANO Basile, BAH Sékou, BAYALA Balé
Inflammation is a reaction of the body whenever the integrity of its morphological and biological constants is threatened. All diseases affecting the great vital functions imply in their manifestation inflammation mediators. For the treatment, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids are used. Although efficient, NSAI(...)

Influence de la fumure minérale sur les performances agronomiques du gombo (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso
Mahamadi Hamed OUEDRAOGO1 BOUGMA Lardia Ali, OUOBA Adjima, SAWADOGO Nerbéwendé, SAWADOGO Mahamadou
Cette étude vise à évaluer l’influence de deux doses de NPK sur les performances agronomiques du gombo. Ainsi quatre génotypes de gombo ont été conduits en essai selon un dispositif en split-plot avec trois traitements : 165 Kg/ha, 115 Kg/ha et le témoin 0 kg/ ha. Des différences peu significatives ont été observées entre les doses 165 Kg/ha(...)

Ecology of snail parasites in the central Plateau of BURKINA FASO West Africa
SINARE Yamba, Kafando Boureima, Awa Gnémé, Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Patricia Soubeiga, Bagayan Mohamed and Magloire Boungou
Snail was invertebrate host of many parasites including trematode, nematode and annelid. Trematode are endoparasites that present a complex life cycle, generally involving an intermediate host and a vertebrate host. Many studies have focused on the diversity of trematodes in molluscs in several countries of the world. But research on mollusc p(...)

Water Quality and Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment Using Water Quality Indices in West Africa: Challenge and Perspectives
Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Seyf-Laye Alfa-Sika Mande and Limam Moctar Bawa
Water quality indices are important tools for ecosystem health assessment and potential water security indicators, but still missing in Togo. To fill this gap, biological and water quality indices performance in a basin of Lake Togo watershed were investigated. Fifty sampling sites were selected in three sections of rivers/streams (upstream, m(...)
