Response of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) Growth to Post-Emergence Water Stress
Lazare Vourbouè Bazie, Inoussa Drabo , Koussao Some, Armel Rouamba and Pauline Bationo (Kando)
Pearl millet is primarily grown under rainfed conditions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Earlydroughts are prevalent in the Sahel region, where pearl millet is widely cultivated, andthey severely impact pearl millet growth and productivity by affecting plant stand andreducing plant density in the field. Consequently, genetic improvement for early droug(...)

Introduction: Viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis B (HBV), remains a major public health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries. In Burkina Faso, HBV prevalence was estimated at 9.1% based on 2010 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data. This study aimed to update the national estimate of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) prevale(...)

Effect of organo-mineral fertilisation on the growth of Artemisia afra plants from vegetative propagation plants in Burkina Faso
Edmond Dondasse, Adama Pascal Kihindo, Badoua Badiel, Razacswende Fanta Ouedraogo, Felix Kologo, Gerard Zombre
Artemisia afra is a perennial plant native to South Africa, cultivated mainly for its antimalarial properties. The plant gives few or practically no seeds for
its reproduction, with low leaf yields due to the poor original soils conditions. The objectives of this study is to identify the best vegetative
propagation technique for A. afra an(...)

Heritability and allelic relationship of Fusarium wilt resistance genes in cowpea genotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso
Kiswendsida Issaka Sam, Tiéyoué Benoit Joseph Batieno, Karidiatou Traoré, Zakaria Dieni, Yannick Bassole, W. P. Félicien Marie Serge Zida, Abdou-Kader Congo, Ibié Gilles Thio, Jean Baptiste Tignégré, Bouma James Néya, P. Elisabeth Zida, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo1
Cowpea is an important legume crop to farmers as a food, fodder, agronomic, and income-generating crop. Despite these multiple advantages, cowpea cultivation faces enormous abiotic and biotic constraints, including fungal diseases such as Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. One of the control measures for this disease, which(...)

Are freshwater stoneflies (Plecoptera) endangered in the West African Sahel region?
IDRISSA KABORE, ADAMA OUEDA, OTTO MOOG, ANDREAS MELCHER
Stoneflies are valuable indicators of ecological health and play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of West Africa, but the research on Stoneflies species are still very insipid and sparse. By understanding their distribution patterns, we can develop effective strategies to conserve these important insects and ensure the sustainabi(...)

A field guide for sampling bats (Chiroptera) for eco-epidemiological studies
Shariful Islam, Napoko Malika Kangoyé, Andrés Velasco-Villa, Abdoulaye Hama Diallo, Robab Katani, Luis E. Escobar
Bats serve as reservoir hosts for numerous zoonotic pathogens of public health
significance, including coronaviruses, lyssaviruses, and henipaviruses, while
simultaneously playing critical roles in ecosystem function through pollination,
seed dispersal, and pest control. The increasing frequency of bat-associated disease
outbreaks has(...)

Natural α-amylase inhibitors may be beneficial in reducing the release of oligosaccharides from starch and
thereby delaying glucose absorption. This research aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against α-amylase and
the inhibition mode of hydroethanolic extracts from seven plants traditionally used in the treatment of type II
diabetes.(...)
