Influence of seed size and pretreatments on Faidherbia albida (apple‑ring) seed germination in Burkina Faso
Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Bossila Séraphin Hien, Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro, Alhassane Zaré, Marie Louise Kaboré, Blaise Kabré, Loyapin Bondé & Oumarou Ouédraogo
Faidherbia albida (Delile) A. Chev. is a key agroforestry species that provides multiple ecosystem services, including soil fertilization, carbon sequestration, and forage production. Despite its ecological importance in climate change mitigation and its vital role for rural communities, natural populations of F. albida are declining due to po(...)

Evaluation of local larval diets for mass rearing of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to support sterile insect technique programs in Burkina Faso
Bouraïma Vincent Séré, , Simon P. Sawadogo, , Prisca S. L. Paré , Médard Y. Ido, Achille S. Nikièma, Judicael Ouedraogo, Tarwendpanga F. X. Ouédraogo, Abdoulaye Diabaté, Olivier Gnankiné and Roch K. Dabiré
Aedes aegypti Linnaeus 1762 is the primary vector of several viruses that cause arboviral diseases. Control strategies, such
as SIT, require large-scale mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) production, which depends critically on larval nutrition. However, the
high cost and limited availability of conventional feed components hinder SIT implementat(...)

Invasion and environmental drivers of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in the freshwater ecosystems of centre region, Burkina Faso
Salam Sankara , Noellie Winkom Kpoda , Idrissa Ouédraogo, Noellie Débora Balima and Awa Gneme
The introduction of invasive mollusc to non-native habitats can have adverse impacts on native species. This successful introduction is facilitated by habitat degradation linked to human activities. The hypothesis that it had been introduced through the importation of exotic plants was suggested after the first scientific report of Melanoides(...)

Soil macrofauna diversity in forest landscapes and surrounding agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Epiphane Guiatin, Désiré Jean‐Pascal Lompo, Adama Zoungrana, Mamoudou Traoré, Salifou Traoré
Land-use intensification significantly affects soil quality and ecosystem functioning in West African landscapes. This study assessed soil macrofauna diversity and abundance across five land use and land cover (LULC) types in the Sissili Classified Forest and adjacent agroecosystems in Burkina Faso. Using the standardized Tropical Soil Biology(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Updates on population status of vultures in Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
Clément Daboné, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Adama Ouéda, Wendengoudi Guenda, Peter D.M. Weesie
In the early 2000s, the ornithological community was alerted to the vulture population decline in West Africa. Since then, the situation of vultures in this area has not been updated, specifically in Burkina Faso’s protected areas.
To find out more, we used transect counts to explore the current status of vultures (species d(...)

Evaluation de l’efficacité de la régénération assistée du karité (Vitellaria paradoxa C. F. Gaertn.) par semis direct de graines et par plantation par les populations
ZERBO Guessèma Léonard, BASTIDE Brigitte, OUOBA Yempabou Hermann et HIEN Mipro
Le karité, malgré son rôle socio-économique important, est une espèce dont les peuplements se dégradent. En réponse à cette dégradation, des techniques de régénération assistée de l’espèce (semis direct de graines de karité et plantation de pieds de karité produits en pépinière) testées et validées par la recherche, ont été transférées aux pop(...)

Modeling the current spatial distribution of snail intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis using Maxent software in the Volta Basin (Burkina Faso)
Noëllie W. Kpoda, Salam Sankara, I Ouedraogo, Noellie Débora Balima, Awa Gneme, Adama Ouéda, Herman Sorgho
Background The socioeconomic consequences of schistosomiasis have forced the integration of control strategies. Currently, all control efforts have tended to involve the control of snail intermediate hosts. However, the integration of snail control into the general schistosomiasis control strategy has not yet been effective in Burkina Faso. Wh(...)

Background: Antibiotic misuse among pregnant and breastfeeding women is a critical public health challenge in low-resource settings. Individual attitudes, social expectations, and structural barriers shape women’s intentions to follow medical advice. Thus, this study investigates how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral contro(...)

Lazare Vourbouè Bazie, Inoussa Drabo, Koussao Some, Armel Rouamba and Pauline Bationo Kando
Early-stage drought is a major constraint that reduces pearl millet productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. To support the development of drought-resilient varieties, this study investigated the genetic control of early seedling drought tolerance using generation mean analysis on two contrasting crosses: IP-18062 × IP-8426 and IP-4927 × IKMLS1 180(...)
