Effect of Fertilization on the Dynamics and Activity of Iron-Reducing Bacterial Populations in a West African Rice Paddy Soil Planted with Two Rice Varieties: Case Study of Kou Valley in Burkina Faso
[Otoidobiga C. Harmonie, Sawadogo Adama, Sinaré Yapi, Ouédraogo Ibrahima, Zombré Prosper, Asakawa Susumu, Traoré S. Alfred, Dianou Dayéri
Iron toxicity is a major stress to rice caused by a high concentration of reduced iron, in the soil in many lowlands worldwide. To reduce iron toxicity in the West African lowlands, an investigation was performed at the site of the University of Ouagadougou, in pots containing an iron toxic soil from the Kou Valley (West of Burkina Faso).

Background
Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3G (APOBEC3G) is a potent host defense factor, which interferes with HIV-1 and HBV. Our study had three objectives, to screen a population of HIV-1 infected and uninfected patients in Burkina Faso for HBV, to screen the population for APOBEC3G variants rs6001417, rs817(...)

Intérêt du dosage de la procalcitonine dans le diagnostic des sepsis chez les enfants.
Soudré FM, Sakandé J, Ouédraogo-Traoré R, Kabré E, Sawadogo M.
Introduction: Les résultats bactériologiques permettent de poser le diagnostic des états
septiques dans un délai minimum de 24 à 48 heures. Dans le cadre de l'urgence, des
marqueurs biologiques spécifiques d'une infection seraient d'une grande aide
diagnostique pour le choix thérapeutique. Le but de notre travail était d'évaluer l'intérêt(...)
