Integrating geospatial data and multi‑criteria analysis for mapping and evaluating the mineralization potential of the Dschang pluton (Western Cameroon)
Fozing Eric Martial, Tcheumenak Kouémo Jules, Sawadogo Sâga, Chako Tchamabé Boris, Ousmanou Safianou, Foka Koagne Staelle, Nguimezap Marie Madeleine, Kwékam, MauriceThe Dschang area has substantial mineral and geological exploration potentialities. However, its basement is unclear due to lack of studies on mineral and lithology mapping, and other mineralization indices. The lithological units and potential hydrothermal alteration zones in the Dschang area...

Geographical distribution of enteric pathogenic viruses in Burkina Faso: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TRAORE Kuan Abdoulaye, AKAPOVI M. Marius, OUEDRAOGO Nafissatou, OUOBOA Jen Bienvenu, ROQUES Pierre and BARRO NicolasBackground
Viruses, which are transmitted mainly via the digestive tract, are responsible for the high morbidity
and mortality of diseases, particularly in low-income countries. Although several studies have established the prevalence and characterization of various enteric viruses in...

Geochemical feature of the Mangodara metavolcanic rocks within the Banfora Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts, southern Burkina Faso (West African Craton)
GNAMOU Bernadin, ILBOUDO Hermann, TOE Wilfried Antoine Bassou, SAWADOGO Sâga,We present new geochemical data on the volcanic rocks of the Mangodara sector (southeastern edge of the Banfora Paleoproterozoic belt) in the West African Craton and discuss their petrology and geodynamic context. Three main volcanic units are described, notably andesites, dacites, and...

Caractères pétrographiques et géochimiques des granitoïdes Paléoprotérozoïques de Godé au Nord du degré carré de Léo, Centre-Ouest du Burkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Adama Ouédraogo Yaméogo, Hubert Gounwendmanaghré Zongo, Pascal Ouiya, Omar Akonyiré , Abraham Seydoux Traoré , Saga Sawadogo, Séta NabaDans le domaine Baoulé-Mossi de la dorsale de Man/Léo, les granitoïdes sont d’âge Paléoprotérozoïque et constituent des volumes importants de roches qui recoupent les ceintures de roches vertes. Ainsi, les granitoïdes sont de bons marqueurs de la déformation crustale et leur ...

Sorghum and cowpea intercropping response to woody residue amendments in Sahelian agro-ecosystems of Burkina Faso
Daouda Guébré, Salifou Traoré, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo, Edmond HienIn West African agro-ecosystems, soils are inherently low in soil organic carbon decreasing the capacity of soils to sustain crop productivity. Woody Residues instead of being burnt or exported out of the cropping systems, can be managed to optimize soil organic carbon build-up, nutrient cycling...

Influence of agroforestry systems on earthworm diversity and soil properties in a Sudano-Sahelian landscape
Adama Zoungrana , Mohamed Cissé, Mamoudou Traoré, Charles De Cannière , Babou André Bationo , Marjolein Visser, Salifou TraoréAgroforestry systems promote a range of ecological base management to support sustainable agriculture. However, the influence of agroforestry management on soil biodiversity is still poorly investigated in SudanoSahelian landscapes. This study aims to guide sustainable management for soil...

Mineralogical study of phosphate rocks by quantitative rietveld refinement
Jean-Baptiste Zoungrana , Brahima Sorgho , Corneille Bakouan , Saga Sawadogo , Regie Dimanche Ouedraogo , Boubié Guel, Philippe BlanchartPhosphorites from the Kodjari deposits of Burkina Faso are composite rocks with a fine-grained matrix phase and
dispersed larger grains. Chemical analysis by XRF revealed a CaO content of 35.98 – 41.33 wt% and a P2O5
content of 26.85 – 30.75 wt%. X-ray diffraction...

Hydrochemical Characterisation of Groundwaters in a Crystalline Basement Environment: The Case of Fractured Aquifers in the Poni Watershed in the South-West Region of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hebie, A., Kafando, S., & Nakolendousse, SThe Poni watershed is located in the south-west of Burkina Faso. Its geology is made up of fractured crystalline and crystallophyllian basement, where fractured aquifers are the most exploited for water needs. The aim of this study is to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of the...
