L'étude a utilisé la technique de PCR-DGGE (électrophorèse sur gel de gradient dénaturant des produits de
réactions en chaîne de la polymérase), pour générer les profils génétiques des procaryotes dans des
échantillons de la colonne d’eau du lac Nyos. Par ailleurs, le clonage et le séquençage des gènes ARNr 16S
ont été effectués sur les(...)

Assessing ecosystem services based on indigenous knowledge in south-eastern Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Issaka Ouédraogoa, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulmaa, Karen Hahnb & Adjima Thiombianoa
Ecosystems are sources of services such as food, water, timber, firewood, health, and spiritual benefits. The unsustainable human use of ecosystems has led to significant declines in the capability of these ecosystems to provide services. In contribution to the preservation of ecosystems, this study aims to assess the potential ecosystem servi(...)

Assessment of the Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase Producing Gram-Negative Bacilli at the Cdg-Chup, Ouagadougou
Sanou M, Ky/Ba A, Coulibali P, Nagalo M, Ouedraogo S, Tamboura M, Kambire D, Bisseye C, Bakiono F, Simpore J, Ouedraogo R
Introduction
The bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming a serious concern in developing countries due to precarious hygiene conditions, inappropriate prescription as well as self-medication and free sale of antibiotics.
The general objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of strains producing ESBL in the BGN isolated(...)

CK2 accumulation at the axon initial segment depends on sodium channel Nav1
Y.E. Hien, A. Montersino, F. Castets, C. Leterrier, O. Filhol, H. Vacher, B. Dargent
Accumulation of voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1 at the axon initial segment (AIS), results from a direct interaction with ankyrin G. This interaction is regulated in vitro by the protein kinase CK2, which is also highly enriched at the AIS. Here, using phosphospecific antibodies and inhibition/ depletion approaches, we showed that Nav1 chann(...)

Seroepidemiology of Hepatitis B and C Viruses in the General Population of Burkina Faso
Issoufou Tao, Tegwindé R Compaoré, Birama Diarra, Florencia Djigma, Theodora M Zohoncon, Maléki Assih, Djeneba Ouermi, Virginio Pietra, Simplice D Karou, Jacques Simpore
Objectives. In Burkina Faso, few studies reported the prevalence of HBV and HCV in the general population. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C viruses in the general population and to determine the most affected groups in relation to the risk factors associated with the infection. Method. A voluntary testing opened(...)

Both Lewis and secretor status mediate susceptibility to rotavirus infections in a rotavirus genotype–dependent manner
K. SIMPORE
Background. The live oral rotavirus (RV) vaccines have shown a reduced efficacy in Africa. Recent in vitro studies have shown binding of the RV surface protein (VP4) to histo–blood group antigens (HBGAs) in an RV genotype–dependent manner, suggesting them to be putative receptors for RV. The diversity of HBGA phenotypes in different ethnic pop(...)

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is associated with asymptomatic malaria in a rural community in Burkina Faso
Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Cyrille Bisseye, Bapio Valery Jean Télesphore Elvira Bazie, Birama Diarra, Tegwindé Rebeca Compaore, Florencia Djigma, Virginio Pietra, Remy Moret, Jacques Simpore
Objective
To investigate 4 combinations of mutations responsible for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in a rural community of Burkina Faso, a malaria endemic country.
Methods
Two hundred individuals in a rural community were genotyped for the mutations A376G, G202A, A542T, G680T and T968C using TaqMan single nucleotide po(...)

Purification and Characterization of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas) Peroxidase.
Mamounata Diao, Brice N’cho Ayékoué, Crépin I. Dibala, Soumaïla Dabonné and Mamoudou H. Dicko
Peroxidase (POX), a biotechnologically important enzyme was purified from bulb of Ipomoea batatas and characterized for use in the bioconversion of phenolic compounds from industrial wastewater. Purified peroxidase (POXp) was obtained using the gel-filtration chromatography and anion exchange chromatography. A final yield of 18 % was obtained(...)

Relationship between Women’s Socioeconomic Status and Empowerment in Burkina Faso: A focus on Participation in Decision-Making and Experience of Domestic Violence
WAYACK PAMBÈ Madeleine, GNOUMOU THIOMBIANO Bilampoa et KABORÉ Idrissa
Le Burkina Faso a ratifié les conventions internationales et régionales en faveur de l’élimination des violences basées sur le genre et de l’égalité entre les sexes. De plus, depuis 2009 le gouvernement burkinabè a élaboré une Politique nationale du genre (PNG) en vue de réduire les inégalités entre les sexes. Cet article examine comment les c(...)

Eco Insulation Materials: Reduction of Cooling Loads of a House Made of Breeze Block or Laterite in a Dry Tropical Climate:
Ousmane Coulibaly and David Yemboini Kader Toguyeni
In this paper, we study the influence of eco materials for roof insulation and fiber-reinforced mortar coatings on cooling loads of a home in dry tropical climate. The walls of the house are made of cinderblock or laterite and the insulating material of a roof panel is made with lime (24%), cement (6%), water (50%) of vegetable fibers hibiscus(...)

Une méthode mécanique pour déterminer la porosité totale d’un sol
Samuel Ouoba, Bruno Cousin, Fabien Cherblanc, Jean Koulidiati, Jean-Claude Bénet
Cette note présente une méthode mécanique pour la détermination de la porosité totale d’un sol. La méthode présentée consiste à placer un échantillon de sol dans une cellule régulée dont on peut faire varier le volume par paliers grâce à un piston. La porosité du sol se déduit de la variation de la pression totale de la phase gazeuse lors des(...)
