Evaluation des connaissances et des pratiques des mesures de biosécurité dans la commune de Loumbila (Oubritenga), Burkina Faso : perception des pisciculteurs et implications pour la gestion sanitaire
Dissinviel Stéphane KPODA, Souhoudou SAWADOGO, Pierre OUEDRAOGO
Introduction : L’aquaculture, bien qu’en pleine expansion mondiale, reste marginale au Burkina Faso, avec une consommation annuelle de poisson estimée à 3,5 kg par habitant, contre 20 kg au niveau mondial. Introduite dans les années 1950, la pisciculture représente une alternative stratégique face à la baisse des captures halieutiques et un le(...)

Cymbopogon citratus and Lippia multiflora essential oils as alternative repellent to DEET against Anopheles gambiae s.l. in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Moussa Namountougou, Miriam Félicité Amara, Mahamoudou Balboné, Souleymane Gnissi, Kouamé Wilfred Ulrich Kouadio, Aboubacar Karabinta, Abdoul Azize Millogo & Olivier Gnankiné
Personal protective tools, such as repellents, play a vital role in preventing mosquito-borne disease
transmission. Although N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), a synthetic repellent, is effective against
insects, it may cause allergic reactions. Therefore, there is a need to explore effective alternative
repellents exhibiting fewer side eff(...)

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by begomoviruses such as African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV), poses a threat to food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Conventional PCR assays often fail to detect viral strains in symptomatic plants due to high genetic variability and recombination. In this study(...)

Sweet stalk sorghum is grown in Burkina Faso primarily for its grain, forage, and sugar-rich stalks. However, its productivity is heavily reliant on rainfall, and the variability in annual precipitation significantly limits its contribution to household food security. In this context, identifying droughttolerant genotypes with stable performan(...)
