Human Pegivirus (HGV) Prevalence among Blood Donors in Burkina Faso: New Data after 2013
Issoufou Tao, Prosper Bado, Edwige Yelemkoure, Alice Kiba, Leslie Marie Elé, Albert T Yonli, Florencia Djigma, Jacques Simpore
Introduction: Human pegivirus (HPgV), initially identified as hepatitis G virus in the 1990s, predominantly causes acute hepatitis and may persist particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or those co-infected with HIV, HBV, or HCV. Despite its potential public health implications, particularly in transfusion contexts, compre(...)

Pastoral livestock farming constraints and adaptation strategies in response to institutional reforms in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa
Basnewindé Ilboudo, Alhassane Zaré, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Loyapin Bondé, Reginald Tang Guuroh and Oumarou Ouédraogo
Livestock farming is one of the main socio-economic activities in West Africa, predominantly extensive and reliant on natural rangelands. In Burkina Faso, the pastoral zone creation process began in 1980 to sedentarize livestock farmers, reduce social conflict, and strengthen livestock production. Therefore, these areas were subjected to insti(...)

Konaté, Ibrahime; Ouaro, Stanislas. Nonlinear elliptic problem involving natural growth term, $L^1$-data, variable exponent and Neumann boundary condition.
I. Konaté, S. Ouaro
In this paper we study a class of multivalued Neumann boundary problem governed by the general p(.)-Leray-Lions type operator and involving a natural growth term and L1 data. Using the technique of maximal monotone operator in Banach spaces and the approximation method via Yosida regularisation and penalizing term, we firstly prove the existen(...)

Studying multiple causes of death through verbal autopsies: Contribution of an index of similarity
Ariane Sessogo, Géraldine Duthé, Bruno Lankoandé, Kassoum Dianou
Background: The analysis of multiple causes of death was developed in high-income countries to study complex morbid processes leading to death. In other countries, such studies are severely limited by the lack of death certificates. Some cause-of-death statistics are produced at the local level through verbal autopsies (VAs): the collecting of(...)

An Agroecological Zoning Approach for Sustainable Agriculture in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Moussa Waongo, Ousmane Aly Yabyouré Ouedraogo, Abdoul Azise Sodoré, Sanoussi Atta
Agriculture in West Africa faces multiple challenges, such as climate variability, soil degradation, and limited access to reliable agroecological information for agricultural planning. In this context, traditional zonation approaches have often relied solely on rainfall patterns, potentially overlooking critical biophysical factors that influ(...)

After two decades of mass drug administration (MDA) for schistosomiasis in Burkina Faso,
an impact assessment was conducted in 16 health districts (HDs) between February 2023
to March 2024 to determine the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis in schoolaged children and facilitate the decision for sub-district level treatment decision(...)

Nutritional potential of Saba senegalensis fruits seeds and hulls from Burkina Faso: a source of essential nutrients
Salamata Tiendrebeogo, Clarisse Sidbewendé Compaore, Leguet Ganou, Sandrine Zongo, Raymond Poussian Barry, Edwige Noëlle Roamba, Elisabeth Rakiswendé Ouedraogo , Mamoudou H. Dicko
Pulp Saba senegalensis fruit is highly consumed and appreciated in many tropical African countries for
its fruit. However, their by-products, such as the seeds and hulls, are very often discarded once the pulp
has been consumed, except for certain rural populations who use them as acidifier or sweetener certain
traditional foods. The aim of(...)
