Abstract
Arboviral diseases are emerging public health challenges in Burkina Faso, largely driven by
the proliferation of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the environment. Effective surveillance of
arbovirus circulation is critical to inform interventions. From August 2022 to June 2023, we
implemented a comprehensive entomological surveillance(...)

Evaluation of Microbiological Quality of Soy-Based Products (Milk and Yogurt) Collected in Ouagadougou”
Cissé Hama, Abdelsalam A. Doutoum, Zongo Oumarou, Djibrine Adoum Oumar, Kabré W. Jeanne d’Arc, Sawadogo Haguèra, Sawadogo Adama, Zongo Cheikna, and Savadogo Aly
Soybean (Glycine max) is leguminous plant cultivated for their protein-rich seeds, which are used in human and animal nutrition. Their seeds are processed into yogurt, milk, and many other by-products. However, during the processing of these products (milk and yogurt), they can be contaminated with physical, chemical, and biological contaminan(...)

Molecular Characterization of blaCTX-M-G1 and blaOXA Genes in Enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli Isolated from Children under Two Years in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO*, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO , T. Lassina, I. TIENDREBEOGO, M. SAVADOGO, E. SAMPO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Abstract: Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are evolved forms of β-lactamases produced mainly by gram-negative bacilli that allow them to inactivate penicillins, cephalosporins and Aztreonam. They are encoded by various genes that are either chromosomal or plasmid and hosted by bacterial strains especially those of E. coli widely distribu(...)

How do climate and land use affect structural attributes, diversity and carbon sequestration at both vegetation and species levels in West African savanna ecosystems?
Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro, Loyapin Bondé, Pawend-taoré Christian Bougma, Reginald Tang Guuroh, Oumarou Ouédraogo & Anja Linstädter
Research on land use impacts on woody diversity and carbon stocks in West African savannas has primarily focused on the vegetation level. However, a combined analysis at both vegetation and species levels offers a more nuanced understanding of carbon loss patterns and provides stronger guidance for management and conservation of threatened spe(...)

Aedes aegypti Linnaeus 1762 is the primary vector of several viruses that cause arboviral diseases. Control strategies, such
as SIT, require large-scale mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) production, which depends critically on larval nutrition. However, the
high cost and limited availability of conventional feed components hinder SIT implementat(...)

Invasion and environmental drivers of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in the freshwater ecosystems of centre region, Burkina Faso
Salam Sankara , Noellie Winkom Kpoda , Idrissa Ouédraogo, Noellie Débora Balima and Awa Gneme
The introduction of invasive mollusc to non-native habitats can have adverse impacts on native species. This successful introduction is facilitated by habitat degradation linked to human activities. The hypothesis that it had been introduced through the importation of exotic plants was suggested after the first scientific report of Melanoides(...)
