Phytochemistry and Agro-Industrial Potential of Native Oilseeds fromWest Africa: African Grape (Lannea microcarpa), Marula (Sclerocarya birrea), and Butter Tree (Pentadesma butyracea)
HILOU Adama, Adjima Bougma and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Ethnobotanical investigations on local oilseed species in Burkina Faso revealed that oils
from tree oilseeds are frequently used for food, cosmetics and traditional medicine by local people.
To test the bio-preservative capacity, the effect of the oilseed extracts on the stabilization of Shea butter
was evaluated. Levels of bioactive phyto-(...)

Options in human papillomavirus (HPV) detection for cervical cancer screening: comparison between full genotyping and a rapid qualitative HPV-DNA assay in Ghana
Dorcas Obiri-Yeboah, Yaw Adu-Sarkodie, Florencia Djigma, Kafui Akakpo, Ebenezer Aniakwa-Bonsu, Daniel Amoako-Sakyi, Jacques Simpore, Philippe Mayaud
Background
Modern cervical cancer screening increasingly relies on the use of molecular techniques detecting high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (hr-HPV). A major challenge for developing countries like Ghana has been the unavailability and costs of HPV DNA-based testing. This study compares the performance of careHPV, a semi-rapid and a(...)

Many studies have shown the role of agriculture in the selection and spread of resistance of
Anopheles gambiae s.l. to insecticides. However, no study has directly demonstrated the
presence of insecticides in breeding sources as a source of selection for this resistance. It is
in this context that we investigated the presence of pesticide r(...)

Study of the organoleptic quality of three varieties of dried mangos : Amélie, Lippens and Brooks during storage by enzymatic tanning techniqueof peroxidases (POD) and the polyphenoloxydases (PPO)
Aminata Belem , François Tapsoba , Laurencia Toulsoumdé Songre-Ouattara , Cheikna Zongo , Aly Savadogo *
Thirty dried mango samples of Amélie, Brooks and Lippens varieties were collected for physico-chemical analyses to understanding the conditions of appearance of the enzymatic browning. These analyses showed that the higher contents of dry matter, assayable acidity, vitamin C and phenolic substrates were respectively 95,86 ± 0.01 mg/g; 1.56 ± 3(...)

Quinolone Resistance (qnr) genes in fecal carriage of extended Spectrum beta-lactamases producing Enterobacteria isolated from children in Niger
Aissatou Moumouni, Serge Diagbouga, Christelle Nadembèga, A Metuor Dabire, Karim Ouattara, Théodora Zohoncon
Qnr genes are known to confer a low level resistance to fluoroquinolone in Enterobacteriaceae. Their presence with other antibiotic resistance mechanism as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) on the same plasmid are common and can spread widely. This study aimed to detect the presence of qnr genes in ESBL-producing commensal Enterobacteriacea(...)
