Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Lucmane Koala, Boubou Bagré, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Guy Tubreoumya, Ali Diané, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
Solar box cookers are eco-friendly and eliminate the need for wood, but they are not always sufficient to replace biomass stoves. Few studies have explored combining solar and biomass energy in a single system. In our study, we designed a hybrid device that integrates a box-type solar cooker with a biomass combustion chamber. This system prior(...)

Pauline Kiswendsida Yanogo, Sanou Nadine, Isidore Traoré, Yanogo Chantal, Halidou Tinto
The implementation of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in Burkina Faso has not achieved its objective of reducing by at least 60% the morbidity associated with malaria in children under 5 years of age. We assessed a new approach of delivery consisting for the community health workers to directly supervise the three doses of the treatment(...)

Background
The widespread use of histidine-rich protein 2 (HPR2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), specific to Plasmodium falciparum in endemic areas may underestimate the weight of minor species such as P. malariae and P. ovale in malaria transmission. This study aimed to determine the extent of undetected P. malariae and P. ovale infecti(...)
