Spatial and temporal characteristics of laboratory-induced Anopheles coluzzii swarms: Shape, structure, and flight kinematics
Bèwadeyir Serge Poda, Antoine Cribellier, Lionel Feugère, Mathurin Fatou,Charles Nignan, Domonbabele Francois de Sales Hien, Pie Muller, Olivier Gnankine´, Roch Kounbobr Dabire´, Abdoulaye Diabate´, Florian T. Muijres, and Olivier Roux
Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms, but how these swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly understood. We characterized three-dimensional spatiotemporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii males swarming at sunset above a ground marker. The location, shape, and volume of swarms were highly stereotypic, consistent over the complete sw(...)

Assessment of Fungi Infection on Clarias anguillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) and Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Two Fish Species Farmed in Burkina Faso
Komandan Mano, Fidèle L. B. Lamboni, Roger Ouedraogo, Noellie W. Kpoda, Justine Kabore, Kounbo Dabire, Elise Sanon, Awa Gneme
Worlwide, fungi are by far the most common pathogen in fish farming. They are responsible of important economic losses in the fishery sector. However, in Burkina Faso knowledge of fungi infecting farmed fish are scarce. As a consequence, the prevalence as well as the effect of these pathogens are not known. A study was carried out on fungal in(...)

Identification et distribution des espèces de courges (Cucurbita sp) cultivées au Burkina Faso
SOUMBOUGMA Benoît ; KABRE V. Nicodème ; KABORE Boukaré ; BATIONO/KANDO Pauline
Le genre Cucurbita regroupe des espèces polyvalentes dont les fruits et parfois
les graines oléagineuses et les feuilles sont utilisées à diverses fins. Il est peu
calorique et constitue une importante source de revenus. Malgré le grand
potentiel de production et d’utilisation de courges, peu d’attention lui est
accordé par la communauté s(...)

Hydrochemical Assessment of Groundwater Quality in the City of Manga and the Surrounding Area, Burkina Faso, West Africa
Césard Millogo , Blehiman Sagnon, Sayoba Kafando, Samuel Nakolendoussé
The population of the city of Manga and the surrounding area is supplied with drinking water by boreholes exploiting the fractured rock aquifer. However, these boreholes are often managed without considering the impact of natural geogenic and anthropogenic sources of toxic chemicals, which can threaten groundwater quality. Major ion geochemist(...)

Enhancement of the geological mapping in weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas using village water supply wells data (lithology and hydrochemistry)
Cheik Abba Cissé Ouangaré, Séta Naba, Patrick Lachassagne
In weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas, because rock outcrops are rare due to the extensive regolith cover, geological mapping is largely based on the interpretation of airborne data and imagery (aerial photographs, satellite images, airborne geophysics when available, etc.). In the sub-Saharan Africa, numerous village water supply(...)

Soil degradation and limited access to chemical fertilizers partly explain the persistently low crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa. To provide local farmers with alternative fertilizer options, this study examined the impact of locally sourced fertilizers on sorghum productivity and soil health. Treatments were set up in a completely randomized(...)
