In the drive towards elimination of lymphatic filariasis, enhanced surveillance of vector mosquitoes
requires sound sampling methods which can be easily implemented and accepted by communities.
Several tools have been validated as alternatives to human landing catches (HLC) for this purpose, but
little is known about their effectiveness com(...)

Anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm activities of Securidaca longepedunculata Fresen, an endangered species from Burkina Faso
ssa Karama, Vincent Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrebeogo
The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious challenge to the global health system. The QS inhibition is one of the approaches to fight against antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Securidaca longepedunculata is a medicinal plant that roots are the only organ used against microbial diseases. This species is threatened with e(...)

DIFFERENTIAL AND COMPARATIVE SCREENING OF COWPEA VARIETIES TO Striga gesnerioides (WILLD.) VATKE FOR RACE SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION IN BURKINA FASO
P. SAWADOGO, T.J. OUEDRAOGO, Z. DIENI, T.B.J. BATIENO1, N. SAWADOGO, S.L. PODA, H. ZONGO, K. GNANKAMBARY, J.B.S. TIGNEGRE, M. SAWADOGO
Significant efforts have been made to develop cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) varieties resistant to Striga gesnerioides in Burkina Faso. Despite these efforts, the resistant genotypes developed still express differential responses to Striga gesnerioides in different zones of the country. This suggests existence of intraspecific var(...)

REDUCTION OF AFLATOXINS AND MICROORGANISMS IN THE KOURA-KOURA PRODUCED IN BURKINA FASO WITH SPICES AND AROMATIC LEAVES
REDUCTION OF AFLATOXINS AND MICROORGANISMS IN THE KOURA-KOURA PRODUCED IN BURKINA FASO WITH SPICES AND AROMATIC LEAVES
Koura-koura is a product resulting from the processing of peanut. This study consisted of producing koura-koura with garlic, pepper, ginger and mint to reduce aflatoxins and microorganisms. The objective of this work is the decontamination of koura-koura with spices and aromatic leaves. Aflatoxin determination was performed by HPLC and microbi(...)

Striga gesnerioides is one of the major constraints to cowpea production in West Africa. In Burkina Faso, Striga is a national phenomenon despite the control measures proposed by research. This study aims to collect farmers' perceptions of S. gesnerioides. Thus, a survey was conducted among cowpea producers in 15 localities across the four agr(...)

Climate change study in Burkina Faso from 1987 to 2018: An online systematic review for future directions
Silga Rimwaodo Pierre; Ouéda Adama, Ouédraogo Idrissa, Mano Komandan, Weesie, Peter D.M. & Kabré Gustave Boureima
In this paper, we perform a bibliometric analysis of published climate change research in Burkina Faso
for the period of 1987 to 2018. More specifically, this article aims at (1) revealing the temporal, and
categorical patterns in climate change research; (2) summarizing the global research trends from
multiple perspectives; and (3) prov(...)

Comparative study of the effects of Herbal and chemical Coagulants in the clarification of raw water
Anderson F. Konkobo, Mamounata Diao, Paul W. Savadogo, Jean Diarra and Mamoudou H. Dicko
The use of aluminum sulphate in clarifying raw waters raises many concerns about its impact on human health. Thus, the present study was initiated to compare the effects of Moringa oleifera and aluminum sulphate besides evaluating the association between M. oleifera or aluminum sulphate with Opuntia ficus-indica or syntofloc for water treatmen(...)

Phenotyping of local chili pepper (Capsicum spp) accessions cultivated in Burkina Faso
Lucienne WAONGO1*, Mariam KIEBRE, Boureima SAWADOGO , Mahamadi H OUEDRAOGO, Zakaria KIEBRE and Pauline BATIONO/KANDO
The cultivation of chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) in Burkina Faso has become an important occupation and a great source of incomes, helping farmers to fight against poverty. However, local cultivars have low yields, essentially because of the pest pressure and the limited access to improved seeds. This study aims to contribute to a better knowl(...)
