Impact of climate, land management and harvesting patterns on the ecological traits and the population structure of Pterocarpus lucens in West African semi-arid areas
Issouf Zerbo , Larba Hubert Balima , Reginald Tang Guuroh, Adjima Thiombiano
Multipurpose woody plant species experience severe pressure owing to human overexploitation, land management and climate change. In response to their inability to cope with environmental disturbances in their natural range, some species such as Pterocarpus lucens migrate to more suitable areas. To better conserve P. lucens, this study examined(...)

Mwenda, Umesh D. Parashar, and Jacqueline E. Tate
Background. Rotavirus vaccines are moderately protective against illness in settings with high compared with low mortality rates. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) evaluations may clarify our understanding of these disparities, but estimates among key subpopulations and against rare outcomes are not available in many analyses due to sample size. We c(...)

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 6.8% of new cancer cases and 8.1% of cancer-related deaths. About 85% of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and distribution of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in women showing cytologica(...)

Density and Ecological Distribution of Geckos in the Sahelian Metropolitan Area of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Wendata Francis Dayama, Napoko M. Kangoyé, Emmanuel M. Hema
Tropical dry areas are often characterised by a lack of reptile abundance data. For example, in Burkina Faso, the population and
ecological distribution of the gecko are poorly understood. Contributing to fill this gap, this study assessed the diversity, density
and ecological distribution of geckos in the metropolitan area of Ouagadougou.(...)
