Adama Sagnon, Mamoudou Traore, Ezechiel Bionimian Tibiri, Saïdou Zongo, Isidore Juste O Bonkoungou, Satoshi Nakamura, Nicolas Barro, Fidele Tiendrebeogo, Papa Saliou Sarr
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(...)

Titre: Investigating Effective Reconnaissance Drought Index Ability to Reproduce Drought Signature over the Massili Basin (Burkina Faso)
Tog-Noma Patricia Emma Bontogho1*, Michelline Marie Regina Kansole1, Mercy Apuswin Abarike2 , Mamounata Kabore3
Drought is a significant natural hazard particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where water resources management is already challenging. Burkina Faso, a landlocked country located in the Sahel region, is highly vulnerable to drought due to its arid climate. The country has experienced recurrent droughts since the 1970s, with significant imp(...)

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing and Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. from the Human–Animal–Environment Interface on Cattle Farms in Burkina Faso
Soma, D., Bonkoungou, I. J. O., Garba, Z., Diarra, F. B. J., Somda, N. S., Nikiema, M. E. M., Bako, E., Sore, S., Sawadogo, N., Barro, N., & Haukka, K.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales pose a major threat to both human and animal health. This study assessed the prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) and Klebsiella spp. (ESBL-K) on cattle farms in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, using a One Health approach. From May 2021 to(...)

How community-based health workers fulfil their roles in epidemic disease surveillance: a case study from Burkina Faso
Sanou Hamidou, Korbéogo Gabin, Dan W. Meyrowitsch, Samuelsen Helle
Background In 2016, Burkina Faso adopted a new community-based model for disease surveillance, appointing two
community-based health workers (CBHWs) per village. The CBHWs play a crucial yet under-researched role in Burkina
Faso’s health system. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing their practices in relation to their offici(...)

Mathematical analysis of the effects of precarious health system on COVID-19 transmission dynamics: case of Burkina Faso
Ousmane Koutou, Komi Afassinou, Adama Ouedraogo, Abou Bakari Diabate
In the early moments of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the level of e ectiveness in treatment and management of patients was limited due to the lack of e ective medications and adapted infrastructures in several countries especially in most developing countries. In this study, we propose an SIR-pattern model to investigat(...)

Study of the thermo-physical parameters of wood using a calorimeter cone
Baguian Abdoul Fayçal, Lingani Abdel Kader Hounsouho, Dabilgou Téré, Ye Siedouba Georges, Zaida Justin, Kam Sié, Ouiminga Koucka Salifou, Bere Antoine
Our study involves characterizing the thermo-physical parameters of materials found in habitats, to understand their degradation mechanisms. It has shown that the mechanical and physical properties of wood are dependent on many factors such as density or heat source, which can be influential and easier or harder to quantify. Bete, red and(...)

Cutaneous Tuberculosis in a Hemodialysis Patient in a Tertiary Hospital in Burkina Faso
Sinon, Naadyatou Bèga, Yéremadè Juste Bonzi, Aïda Sandrine Ouédraogo, Alassane Dianda, Patrice Zoehinga, Gérard Coulibaly, and Pascal Antoine Niamba
Pulmonary lesions remain a significant public health problem. Extrapulmonary lesions can occur.
Cutaneous localization is uncommon and favored by immunosuppression, such as chronic
hemodialysis. Chronic non-healing wounds of immunocompromised patients are very often neglected. In developing countries, diagnosis is usually complicated and del(...)

Influence of fruit traits and seed provenance on the seed germination of Saba senegalensis (A. DC.) Pichon in Burkina Faso: implications for the domestication.
Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé, Aboubacar‑Oumar Zon, Hassane Ouédraogo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Saba senegalensis fruits provide an important subsistence and income source for people in West African Sahelian areas. However, the increasing pressure on ecosystems is causing substantial damage to plants, which could result in a serious threat to the species. It is therefore crucial to develop successful strategies for its conservation. This(...)

Plant Agrobiodiversity, Agricultural and Phytosanitary Practices of Market Garden Crops in the Centre‐East Region of Burkina Faso
Issouf Zerbo, Kounbo Dabiré, Sibiry Albert Kaboré, Constant Martin Sawadogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Introduction
In West Africa, market gardeners use various agricultural practices to increase yields. However, many of these practices do not comply with agroecological standards and cause intoxication, pollution, soil degradation and biodiversity loss. This study characterizes the plant agrobiodiversity of market garden crops grown during the(...)

Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Loyapin Bondé , Adama Hilou
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Medicinal plants can help combat antibiotic resistance by providing novel, active molecules. Three plant species of the Terminalia genus are widely used in traditional medicine in the Mouhoun region for the treatment of cutaneous and respiratory dis- eases. Therefore, it is important to determine the ethnopharma(...)
