L.A. BOUGMA, A. OUOBA, C. ZERBO, M.H. OUÉDRAOGO, N. SAWADOGO and M. SAWADOGO
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important crop for populations in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. In Burkina Faso, pearl millet is one of main cereal crops, well known for climate resilient features and nutritional transcendency. However, most cultivated genotypes are landraces, whose productivity is still low(...)

Unraveling the intra-species genomic diversity of sweetpotato-infecting CRESS-DNA and RNA viruses in Burkina Faso using Oxford Nanopore sequencing
Name Pakyendou E. , Tibiri Ezechiel B. , Tiendrébéogo Fidèle , Sawadogo Seydou , Djigma Florencia , Traoré Lassina , Eni Angela O. , Pita Justin S.
Sweetpotato is a key crop for global food security, particularly in Burkina Faso, where its productivity is increasingly threatened by viral diseases, especially those caused by CRESS-DNA viruses. However, the diversity of these viruses in Burkina Faso remains poorly characterized due to limitations of conventional diagnostic approaches. In th(...)

Participatory selection of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. landraces in Burkina Faso: characteristics of interest and selection criteria for leaves
Clémence Zerbo, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema, Zakaria Kiebre, Mariam Kiebre, Fanta Reine Sheirita Tietiambou, Hamid El Bilali, Filippo Acasto, Jacques Nanema and Mahamadou Sawadogo
Introduction: Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is an economically important and widely adopted crop in Burkina Faso. Yet its production is constrained by the lack of improved, locally adapted varieties. This study used a participatory variety selection approach to identify preferred landraces and selection criteria across two agroecological zones: Sudan(...)

Diversity and Distribution of Ecto and Gastrointestinal Parasites in Domestic Rabbits from the Grand-Ouaga, Burkina Faso
MANO, Komandan, Paténéma SAWADOGO, Yamba SINARE, Patricia SOUBEIGA, Rimwaodo Pierre SILGA, Magloire BOUNGOU, and Awa GNEME
In Burkina Faso, livelihoods rely strongly on the primary sector such as livestock farming. Owing to their high reproductive potential, rapid growth, and relatively low production costs, rabbit farming appeared increasingly as a sustainable source of income and animal protein. However, rabbits are frequently affected by parasitic infections, w(...)

ANALYTICAL APPROXIMATION OF THE TIME-FRACTIONAL BURGERS EQUATION USING THE LAPLACE-SBA METHOD
Bayalla Bazoboué Laurent* , Sawadogo Salomond, Bamogo Hamadou et Francis Bassono
This paper investigates the application of the Laplace-SBA method to a nonlinear Burgers-type equation with a fractional time derivative in the sense of Caputo. Such equations, which incorporate memory effects and nonlocal behavior, are increasingly used to model

Facteurs associés au dépistage des cancers du col de l’utérus et du sein chez les femmes de 15-49 ans au Burkina Faso
Hervé Bassinga
Contexte : Lorsque l’on considère les maladies non transmissibles (MNT), les cancers du col de l’utérus et du sein figurent parmi les principales causes de morbidité et de mortalité féminine au Burkina Faso. Bien que le dépistage précoce constitue une stratégie efficace pour améliorer la survie et la qualité de vie des femmes, les t(...)

Fuelling energy poverty? Evidence on the role of deforestation in developing countries
Windbeneti Arnaud Zahonogo, Relwendé Sawadogo
Energy poverty remains a critical development challenge in low- and middle-income countries, central to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7). This study investigates the causal impact of deforestation on energy poverty, focusing on two key dimensions: access to electricity and access to clean cooking fuels. Using a panel of 95 devel(...)

Weak solutions of a discrete Robin problem involving the anisotropic $\vect{p}$-mean curvature operator
B. Moussa, I. Nyanquini, S. Ouaro
This work investigates the existence and uniqueness of a so- lution to a discrete Robin boundary value problem involving the anisotropic p⃗-mean curvature operator. The existence re- sult is established through variational methods, specifically by applying the Mountain Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz in combination with Ekeland’s Var(...)

Premières caractérisations morpho typologiques de la céramique archéologiques des enceintes et structures en pierres, sud-ouest du Burkina Faso
Simporé Lassina
Les enceintes et structures en pierre sont les principaux vestiges archéologiques connus dans l’espace géoculturel appelé abusivement ‘pays lobi’ au Burkina Faso, Afrique occidentale.
Depuis les premières publications à leur sujet au début du vingtième siècle, leur architecture a été l’aspect matériel le plus traité. Cette focalisation sur le(...)
