WAYIYAN » OU QUAND LE PEUPLE DÉFEND LES « ILLÉGITIMES » DE LA DÉMOCRATIE « MODÈLE VOYAGEUR » AU BURKINA FASO
Yonli Taladi Narcisse et Ouattara Issa
Depuis le discours de la Baule, la démocratie s’est imposée comme un modèle politique dominant en Afrique, notamment au Burkina Faso. Toutefois, l’évolution politique du pays a montré une dynamique paradoxale entre attachement à l’ordre démocratique et soutien à des régimes issus de coups d’État. En 2014, une insurrection populaire a chassé Bl(...)

Analysis and optimal control of a fractional-order model of a vector-borne disease
Ali Traoré; Rosaire Ouedraogo; Hamadoum Dicko
In this paper, a fractional-order model has been developed to study the transmission dynamics of a vector-borne disease. The use of fractional calculus, particularly through the Caputo derivative, provides a mathematical framework that accounts for memory effects and long-term dynamics often observed in vector-borne diseases. The difference be(...)

Substitution of Fish Meal with Poultry Intestine Meal and Domestic Fly Larvae (Musca domestica) in the Diet of Juvenile Clarias gariepinus
Badioula Coulibaly1, Halidou Komi2, Armel Djerma3, Nessan Désiré Coulibaly4 & Moussa Zongo5
The use of fishmeal and fish oil as ingredients in fish feed increases production costs and has long-term environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate alternative protein sources to fishmeal in fish feed to reduce production costs. To achieve this, maggot meal and poultry intestine meal were incorporated into feed and administered to(...)

Land- Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Adama Zoungrana, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Land-use intensification alters vegetation structure and composition, with potential consequences for pollinator-dependent ecosystems in tropical regions. However, the distribution and availability of melliferous woody flora across contrasting land use types in West Africa remain poorly studied. This study evaluated melliferous floristic compo(...)

Framework for assessing genetic variation in livestock using demographic, pedigree, and genomic measures
Gábor Mészáros, Ino Curik, Dominique Ouedraogo, Jack Windig, Gregoire Leroy, Yuri Tani Utsunomiya, Pamela Burger, Licia Colli, Chang Xu, Paul Boettcher, Christian Looft and Johann Soelkner
Genetic variation within livestock populations underpins global food security, resilience, and the long-term sustainability of breeding programs. Despite its fundamental role, harmonized approaches for assessing and monitoring genetic variation across data sources remain limited. This review provides an integrated framework for assessing genet(...)

Internal Hernia through an Ovarian Cyst: Another Anatomical Particularity
Sawadogo Yamba Elie, Maïga Check Abdoul Fatao, Sam Aristide, Kambou Ollo, Ouédraogo Ida, Sanou Yves, Savadogo Julien, Kafando Roch, Ouangré Edgar
The authors describe a rare case of small-bowel obstruction caused by an internal hernia through a right ovarian cyst in a 52-year-old woman. Pre-operative CT suggested obstruction with a co-existing ovarian cyst, and laparotomy confirmed an incarcerated, perforated ileal loop that required wedge resection and cystectomy. The patient recovered(...)

Feed, especially quality feed, is one of the major challenges facing intensive peri-urban poultry farming in Burkina Faso. The aim of this study was to assess the availability and the quality of poultry feed in the city of Ouagadougou. Indeed, a survey was conducted at the main livestock markets in this city to inventory the raw materials (org(...)

L’aflatoxine constitue un problème sanitaire et économique majeur pour les filières du maïs et de l’arachide en Afrique
de l’Ouest. Malgré l’existence de solutions de biocontrôle telles que l’Aflasafe, leur adoption par les producteurs
demeure limitée et hétérogène. Cet article analyse les perceptions paysannes de l’aflatoxine et les facteur(...)
