Un grand nombre de mutations sur les gènes codant l’hémoglobine conduit à différents types d’hémoglobinopathies. Ces dernières peuvent être handicapantes pouvant mettre en danger le pronostic vital dans certaines conditions comme la déshydratation, l’hypoxie, l’hyperthermie… D’où l’intérêt de l’étude de l’hémoglobine à travers une électrophorè(...)

Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)

Introduction: In Burkina Faso, sesame is one of the most widely grown oil and
rend crops. Several varieties are grown in different regions, but little is known
about their nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the impact of the production area on the nutritional characteristics of two sesame
varieties gro(...)

The centre of origin of Bambara groundnut (BGN; Vigna subterranea L.) is Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its high nutritional value and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
this neglected and underutilised species has recently gained significant attention. However, BGN production faces several challenges, including a lack of quality v(...)

Screening of Cowpea Mutants (Vigna unguiculata) for Resistance to Aphids (Aphis craccivora) in Burkina Faso
Karidiatou Gnankambary, Teyouié Benoit J Batieno, Zakaria Dieni, Pingawindé Sawadogo, K Issaka Sam, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Jean-Baptiste Tignégré, Jeremy Tinga Ouédraogo
The cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch.) is a significant pest of cowpea crops, causing considerable damage to seed production. To identify cowpea genotypes resistant to aphids and demonstrating strong agronomic performance, fourth generation genotypes (M4) derived from the cowpea variety Tiligré, which was irradiated with 150 Gy of gamma rad(...)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anaemia is defined as a decrease in
haemoglobin concentration below the reference values relating to age, sex and physiological condition.
It is a widespread public health problem with major consequences on health, as well as on economic
and social development.
The objective of this study w(...)

Refining malaria diagnosis in high-transmission areas: a dual-approach with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and dbPCR-NALFIA
Diane Yirgnur Some, Francois Kiemde, Hermann Sorgho, Marc Christian Tahita, Antonia Windkouni Bere, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo, Souleymane Vivien Banao, Kouadjo Bagre, Gérémie Djiri, Georges Some, Toussaint Rouamba, Yeri Esther Hien, Aly Savadogo, Henk D. F. H. Schallig and Halidou Tinto
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an essential tool in managing febrile illnesses in endemic set- tings. However, persisting parasite antigen after treatment or spontaneous remission, which can be detected by histi- dine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based RDT or Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH)-based RDTs, could lead to misd(...)

Patterns of molluscan biodiversity and abundance following reservoir creation in Burkina Faso
Idrissa OUEDRAOGO, Yabyouré Marc-Florent SAWADOGO, Salam SANKARA, Noellie W. KPODA and Adama OUEDA
Freshwater molluscs play crucial ecological roles and serve as key bio-indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, yet they can also act as vectors of parasitic diseases. This study assessed the taxonomic diversity, temporal dynamics, and environmental drivers of mollusc communities in a large reservoir in Burkina Faso. A total of 13 species were(...)

SCREENING OF MUNG BEAN GENOTYPES [VIGNA RADIATA (L.) WILCZEK] FOR RESISTANCE TO MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA (TASSI) GOID'
Adjima Ouoba,; Romain W Soalla,; Tchidjolbe Fatime Dagou,; Felicien S. Zida, ; Nerbewende Sawadogo
Mung bean is a legume widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. Its
introduction in Burkina Faso is of great interest for the food and nutritional security of the
population. However, the development of its cultivation could be hampered by a number of biotic
constraints, including fungal diseases caused by Macro(...)
