Genetic diversity of Fonio (Digitaria exilis) in Burkina Faso using SNP markers
Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUEDRAOGO, V. Nikodème KABRÉ, Boukaré KABORE and Pauline BATIONO-KANDO
Fonio (Digitaria exilis) is a cereal of food, economic and cultural importance in Burkina Faso. Although many studies have focused on its agromorphological variability, a more thorough evaluation based on the genome sequencing offer is essential for better management and valorization of this cereal. This present study aimed at determining t(...)

Background
Prosopis africana is traditionally used in folk medicine in Burkina Faso for oral diseases. Leaves and stems are used in rural areas to treat dental caries, and the bark is used to treat green diarrhea in infants. In the context of a better understanding of Prosopis africana’s bioactivity and toxicity, the present study deals with(...)

Abstract
Background Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of Dengue fever in Burkina Faso, breeds in a variety of domestic
and peri-domestic water holding containers. The influence of these water containers on the mosquitoes’ ability to sur-
vive exposure to chemical insecticides remains unclear. This study investigated the insecticide suscepti(...)

Background The introduction of next-generation insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Burkina Faso aims to mitigate
pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors. This study evaluated the impact of different ITN types on phenotypic resistance
and kdr mutation frequencies in Anopheles gambiae sensus lacto (s.l.) populations across three health distric(...)

Fusarium solani is a cosmopolitan fungus causing mortality of young cowpea plants and severe wilting at an advanced stage of plant development. As a result, it considerably affects cowpea production, undermining food and nutritional security. The use of resistant varieties combined with appropriate agricultural practices is a very effective an(...)

Assessment of Diversity in Parental and F1 Populations of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] in Burkina Faso
Lardia Ali BOUGMA, Adjima OUOBA, Dieudonné TARO, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Aims: Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is one of the cross-pollinated cereals in West Africa. It is cultivated for its grains. However, to date, strategies for selecting pearl millet populations and hybrids are low in West Africa. The objective of this study is to characterize the genetic bases of parental and F1 populations of pe(...)

In Chad, a pastoral country in the Sahel where sheep farming thrives, it is a major socioeconomic and cultural pillar. This prospective and analytical study assesses the microbiological quality of fresh mutton sold in six districts of N'Djamena (Chad). Thirty samples were collected aseptically,transported in coolers, and analyzed at Labo-REDES(...)

Ibonyé DIENI, François TAPSOBA, Touwendsida Serge BAGRE, Boureima Kagambèga, Wendenso Patrick Bertrand Tiendrébéogo and Nicolas BARRO
A literature review spanning 1999-2025 across Africa revealed a high prevalence of fungal and mycotoxin contamination in cassava and its derivatives. Predominant molds include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium, with contamination rates averaging 80% - 100%. Climatic factors and inadequate agricultural and storage practices exacerbate cont(...)
