Diversité et structure des cordons ripicoles le long de la sirba (Nord-Est du Burkina Faso)
Elice KABORE *, Oumarou SAMBARE, Amadé OUEDRAOGO et Adjima THIOMBIANO
es Cordons ripicoles sont des végétations bordant les rivières à écoulement temporaire et qui possèdent des sols riches et une grande capacité en bois. Ces ressources sont anarchiquement utilisées par l’homme créant ainsi la fragmentation des berges. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une évaluation de la diversité et de la structure des co(...)

Abstract. In most sub-Saharan countries screening of blood-transmitted infections includes mainly HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis. Many viruses such as Hepatitis G (HGV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which also carry a risk of transmission by blood transfusion raise the question of the extent of screening for these pathogens. This work aims to evalu(...)

Potentials for promoting oil products identified from traditional knowledge of native trees in Burkina Faso
Amadé Ouédraogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Benjamin Lankoandé, Gabin Korbéogo
Oil products from native trees are far from fully exploited in West Africa. Only well-known species like shea (Vitellaria paradoxa CF Gaertn.) and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) receive attention. We used quantitative questionnaires in 12 villages in Western Burkina Faso to assess the knowledge of four ethnic groups on 28 tree species and(...)

The West African vegetation zones from the Sahara desert to the Guinean rainforests are shaped by a steep latitudinal precipitation gradient. Their taxonomical and functional composition changes considerably along this gradient. Based on comprehensive distribution data from herbariun collections and relevés this paper presents modelled distrib(...)

Insecticides from the organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid (PY) chemical families, have respectively, been in use for 50 and 30 years in West Africa, mainly against agricultural pests, but also against vectors of human disease. The selection pressure, with practically the same molecules year after year (mainly cotton), has caused insecticide re(...)
