Background: Dual hrp2/hrp3 genes deletions in P. falciparum isolates are increasingly reported in malaria-endemic countries and can produce false negative RDT results leading to inadequate case management. Data on the frequency of hrp2/hrp3 deleted parasites are rarely available and it has become necessary to investigate the issue in Burkina F(...)

Assessment of the Sanitary Quality of precooked Cereal-Based Foods Produced in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo, Hama Cissé, Essodolom Taale, Aicha Kambou, Carole P. Ouédraogo, Lancina Séré, Agnès Sondo, Cheikna Zongo and Aly Savadogo
Small-scale cereal-based food production companies have recently been growing in Ouagadougou. The promoters of these companies do not always apply good hygiene practices (GHP) during their activities, which can lead to the production of food of unsatisfactory quality, which can threaten the health of consumers. In view of this observation, thi(...)

Non-Sensory Perception and Sensory Appeal of Zamnè, PseudoZamnè, Traditionally Cooked Senegalia erythrocalyx Seeds, and Tempeh According to Burkinabe Consumers
Moustapha Soungalo Drabo, Korotimi Traoré, Charles Parkouda, Fatoumata Hama-B, Aly Savadogo, Katleen Raes
The lack of adequate knowledge of the culinary and sensory properties of most indigenous and wild foods hampers their promotion in human diets and the market. In the present study, 80 Burkinabe volunteers evaluated the sensory appeal and attributes of three selected Senegalia seed species (Zamnè, pseudoZamnè or Kumatiya, and S. erythrocalyx) a(...)

Antibiotic resistance is a major global health concern. In addition to the existing data on the prevalence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, there are patchy data on bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides in Burkina Faso. In this study, we determined the prevalence of aminoglycoside resistance genes in E. coli, including aac(3)-IIc, aac(...)

In Vitro Anthelmintic Efficacy of Acacia nilotica Pods on Eggs and Adult Worms of Haemonchus contortus
Zabre G., Tindano B., Dicko A., Bayala B., Kabore A., Belem A. M. G., & Tamboura H. H.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic efficacy of aqueous and acetone extracts of pods of Acacia nilotica on the eggs and adult worms of Haemonchus contortus. Eggs and worms were exposed to five increasing concentrations of Acacia nilotica pod extracts (1.25; 2.5; 5.0; 10.0 and 20.0 mg/mL). The results showed d(...)

Evaluation of synergism in essential oils against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus in Burkina Faso
Coulibaly, A., Biguezoton, A.S., Hema, D.M., Dah, F.F., Sawadogo, I., Bationo, Ré.K., Compaore, M., Kiendrebeogo, M., Nebie, R.C.H.,
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus affects animal production economically by reducing weight gain and milk production and causing diseases, such as babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Using synthetic acaricides to reduce their incidence has caused the emergence of resistant tick populations. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro acarici(...)
