L.A. BOUGMA, A. OUOBA, C. ZERBO, M.H. OUÉDRAOGO, N. SAWADOGO and M. SAWADOGO
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important crop for populations in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. In Burkina Faso, pearl millet is one of main cereal crops, well known for climate resilient features and nutritional transcendency. However, most cultivated genotypes are landraces, whose productivity is still low(...)

Diversity and Distribution of Ecto and Gastrointestinal Parasites in Domestic Rabbits from the Grand-Ouaga, Burkina Faso
MANO, Komandan, Paténéma SAWADOGO, Yamba SINARE, Patricia SOUBEIGA, Rimwaodo Pierre SILGA, Magloire BOUNGOU, and Awa GNEME
In Burkina Faso, livelihoods rely strongly on the primary sector such as livestock farming. Owing to their high reproductive potential, rapid growth, and relatively low production costs, rabbit farming appeared increasingly as a sustainable source of income and animal protein. However, rabbits are frequently affected by parasitic infections, w(...)

Participatory selection of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. landraces in Burkina Faso: characteristics of interest and selection criteria for leaves
Clémence Zerbo, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema, Zakaria Kiebre, Mariam Kiebre, Fanta Reine Sheirita Tietiambou, Hamid El Bilali, Filippo Acasto, Jacques Nanema and Mahamadou Sawadogo
Introduction: Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is an economically important and widely adopted crop in Burkina Faso. Yet its production is constrained by the lack of improved, locally adapted varieties. This study used a participatory variety selection approach to identify preferred landraces and selection criteria across two agroecological zones: Sudan(...)

Artisanal Dried Mango Production in Chad: Process Characterization, Hygiene Challenges and Proposed Optimization
Al-lamadine Mahamat, Brahim Adoum Ahmat, Alhadj Markhous Nazal, Abdoullahi Hissein Ousman, Thierry Togdjim, Hal Souakar Ambera, Aly SAVADOGO and Abdelsalam Tidjani
Dried mangoes are an essential socio-economic resource in Chad, with 80% of production done via artisanal solar drying. However, current methods are slow (2 to 3 days) and carried out at low temperatures (30–45∘C), which promotes microbial proliferation and alters product quality. The objective of this study is to evaluate production and sales(...)

Two years evolution of deltamethrin, malathion and pirimiphosmethyl resistance in Aedes aegypti from urban in peri urban sites of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Hyacinthe K. Toe, Moussa W. Guelbeogo, Soumananaba Zongo, Aboubacar Sombie, Athanase Badolo
Arboviral diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever are major public health concerns in Africa, with
Aedes aegypti as the primary vector. Insecticide-based interventions remain the cornerstone of vector control,
but their effectiveness is increasingly compromised by the evolution of resistance. Monitoring resistance
dynamics is(...)

Food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges in Niger, where protein-
rich crops are critically needed. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is recognized as
a strategic legume due to its high protein content (typically 35–45%) and valuable
techno-functional properties reported in the literature. However, local accessions and

Gram-negative bacilli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are multidrug-resistant bacteria that pose significant therapeutic challenges. Their infections often necessitate the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, which has contributed to the emergence of metallo β-lactamases. Among these, New Delhi metallo-β-lact(...)

L’intensification des activités anthropiques et l’expansion démographique détruisent les habitats des serpents, affectant ainsi leurdiversité et abondance. Cela a pour conséquence, la diminution ou la perte de leur biodiversité. Cependant, au Burkina Faso, les travaux sur le peuplement des serpents sont très fragmentaires et datent de plusieur(...)

Ouedraogo, T. W.C., Simporé, A., Ouedraogo, R.A., Bazié, B.V.E.J.T., Ouattara, A.K., Kagembega, Y.D., Kabre, K.M., Bado, P., Sorgho, P.A., Traoré, I.M.A., Traoré, M.A.E., Traoré, L., Zouré, A.A., Sagna, T., Zohoncon, T.M., Djigma, F.W., Ouedraogo, C.M.R.-N., Karou, D.S. and Simpore, J
Polymorphisms in certain human genes may contribute to the development of gynecological cancers. While infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
is considered the main cause, studies suggest that deletion of the Glutathione S-Transferase Thêta1 (GSTT1) gene is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. The objective of this meta-a(...)
