Updates on population status of vultures in Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
Clément Daboné, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Adama Ouéda, Wendengoudi Guenda, Peter D.M. Weesie
In the early 2000s, the ornithological community was alerted to the vulture population decline in West Africa. Since then, the situation of vultures in this area has not been updated, specifically in Burkina Faso’s protected areas.
To find out more, we used transect counts to explore the current status of vultures (species d(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

A child's diet evolves according to their age-specific needs. Inadequate nutritional intake can have
irreversible consequences on their lives. This study aims to evaluate the feeding practices of children aged 6 to
23 months, as well as the physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological qualities of local infant flours. A survey of the di(...)

Gene action of drought tolerance traits in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) seedling
Lazare Vourbouè Bazie, Inoussa Drabo, Koussao Some, Armel Rouamba and Pauline Bationo Kando
Early-stage drought is a major constraint that reduces pearl millet productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. To support the development of drought-resilient varieties, this study investigated the genetic control of early seedling drought tolerance using generation mean analysis on two contrasting crosses: IP-18062 × IP-8426 and IP-4927 × IKMLS1 180(...)

Background : Les métalloprotéinases matricielles (MMP) sont des enzymes impliquées dans plusieurs processus physiologiques normaux, mais aussi pathologiques. Les variations génétiques de plusieurs promoteurs de MMP peuvent influencer la transcription et l'expression de MMP, telles que MMP-1 (1607) et MMP-3 (1171), en créant des sites de liaiso(...)

Prevalence of hepatitis B and humoral response in children and adolescents born after the introduction of hepatitis B vaccine in the expanded program on immunization in Burkina Faso
Abdoul Rahamani Nikiema, Yéri Esther Hien, Michaël Kaboré, Donatien Kima, Sanhitouo C. Dabiré, Alidou Kagambèga and Guillaume Sylvestre Sanou
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries. Burkina Faso, with a national prevalence of 9.3%, is highly endemic. Despite the introduction of DTP-HepB-Hib vaccine in 2006 and WHO recommendations for universal vaccination, coverage remains suboptimal in sub-Saharan Africa. Some vaccinated(...)

Dengue has re-emerged in recent years in Burkina Faso, and the capital city
Ouagadougou is the most affected city. In the absence of an effective vaccine and
treatment, control of the Aedes vector through larval source management remains one
of the key sustainable strategies for responding to dengue outbreaks. This study aims
to determine(...)
