Gastroenteritis is a public health problem in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. The introduction of the RotaShield rotavirus vaccine in the early 1980s had the side-effect of causing acute intestinal invaginations, which led to the introduction of surveillance. The aim of this study is to review the serotypes of rotavirus identified.(...)

Fruits of Prosopis chilensis and Tetrapleura tetraptera as an alternative against multi-resistant bacteria in lower respiratory tract infections
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Issa Karama, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébéogo
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium whose global spread poses a significant threat to human health due to its multidrug resistance (MDR). As a result, it is crucial to explore alternative treatments, particularly plant-based drugs, that are considered safe. The fruits of two plants, Tetrapleura tetraptera, and Prosopis chilensis, have been t(...)

Nest-site selection by Hooded Vultures <i>Necrosyrtes monachus</i> in the Sudano–Sahelian area of Burkina Faso
Clément Daboné, Lindy J. Thompson, Adama Ouéda, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Peter D.M. Weesie
Understanding the factors influencing selection of nesting habitat may be important in the placement and management of Vulture Safe Zones (areas where vultures can safely breed) and in the development of successful conservation programmes. In this study, we analysed the anthropogenic, environmental and topographic factors affecting nest-site s(...)

Hooded Vultures <i>Necrosyrtes monachus</i> are still declining in West Africa: a nearly 50-year assessment study (1969–2019)
Clément Daboné, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Adama Ouéda, Lindy J. Thompson, Peter D.M. Weesie
Large-scale declines in vulture populations have been recorded in West Africa. One concern is that the current trend in Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus populations in West Africa is poorly known. To help fill this knowledge gap, we conducted nationwide road counts in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, using (where possible) the same routes and(...)
