Sorghum Midge [Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillet, 1898)] Dynamics and Abundance Study in the Southern Sudanian and Sudano-sahelian Zones of Burkina Faso
Issouf, KOURAOGO, OUEDRAOGO Issoufou, OUEDRAOGO Nofou, and SANON Antoine
Sorghum is one of the most widely grown and consumed cereals in Sahelian countries, particularly in Burkina Faso. However, its cultivation faces numerous constraints, both biotic and abiotic. Among the biotic constraints, insect pests, notably the sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillet, 1898), constitute one of the major obstacles(...)

Profils et indice de vulnérabilités socio-sanitaires liées aux maladies diarrhéiques en zone rurale par l’approche des livelihoods (commune de Boussouma, Burkina Faso)
Yasmina Rufine Karambiri, Élodie Robert et Dayangnewende Edwige Nikiema
En 2021, les estimations de décès en Afrique liées aux maladies diarrhéiques étaient de 441 139. Cette situation est liée à la contamination fécale de l’eau, des aliments et des mains modulées selon des critères relatifs aux vulnérabilités socio-sanitaires. Or, malgré un consensus sur les principaux facteurs qui influencent ces vulnérabilités(...)

In Burkina Faso, okra is one of the most important vegetable crops. Low soil fertility is one of the major constraints to okra production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mixed bovine and ovine stabling on soil properties and on growth and yield of okra in Sudano-Sahelian zone. The study was conducted during the 2023-(...)

Investigating the Use of Local Materials for the Construction of a Solar/Biomass Hybrid Cooker
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Benjamin Kiema, Boubou Bagré, Guy Tubreoumya, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
There are many locally available materials that can be used in the construction of cooking devices. Materials account for a significant portion of construction costs, and reducing their cost can help lower the overall cost of such projects. One of the most effective ways to reduce costs in the development of affordable cooking systems is to pr(...)

In the absence of commercialized vaccines for most arboviruses, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, which are transmitted by Aedes aegypti, the management of vector populations to prevent disease transmission remains the cornerstone of arbovirus control strategies. Larviciding targets the early stages of the mosquito life cycle and subseq(...)

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are crucial for preventing malaria and other vector-
borne diseases, effectively reducing transmission and mortality rates. However, their
uptake remains low, influenced by textile preferences, with polyester nets being
favored for comfort, despite their shorter lifespan compared to other materials. A
