The present review explores recent scientific evidence on in situ folate
fortification through African staple foods fermentation. Specifically, it high-
lights, folate-producing microorganisms isolated from these foods, condi-
tions influencing folate production, and key factors determining the success

Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Grilled Meats and Human Feces in Two Regions of Chad
Denis Erbi, Sibiri Sylvain Rouamba, Abdelsalam Adoum Doutoum, Hissein Ousman Abdoullahi, Kadidja Gamougam, Aly Savadogo
The uncontrolled use of antibiotics to improve the productivity of food-producing animals and to treat human diseases poses a significant risk to public health. Residual antibiotics in animal tissues can promote the selection of resistant bacteria, posing serious health risks to consumers. The aim of this study was to assess the diversity and(...)

Behavior of potential insect pollinators visiting Moringa oleifera flowers
Babou Frédéric Bazié, Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, Salifou Kabré, Olivier Gnankine
The influence of potential insect pollinators is decisive in the fruiting process of many cross-pollinated plants. The aim
of this study was to determine the behaviour of potential pollinating insects visiting Moringa oleifera flowers. Collections were carried out from July to September 2018 and 2019, followed by monitoring of the behavior of(...)

Residual malaria transmission in Western Burkina Faso: Vector Behavior, insecticide resistance, and the efficacy limits of next-generation LLINs
Kouamé Wilfred Ulrich Kouadio , Miriam Felicité Amara, Dieudonne Diloma Soma , Roch Kounbobr Dabire , Abdoulaye Diabat Olivier Gnankine and , Moussa Namountougou
An entomological surveillance was carried out in two districts of western Burkina Faso to assess the impact of
mass-distributed next-generation long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) (Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) LLINs and
Interceptor® G2) on Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations, focusing on insecticide resistance trends and residual
malaria tran(...)

Un grand nombre de mutations sur les gènes codant l’hémoglobine conduit à différents types d’hémoglobinopathies. Ces dernières peuvent être handicapantes pouvant mettre en danger le pronostic vital dans certaines conditions comme la déshydratation, l’hypoxie, l’hyperthermie… D’où l’intérêt de l’étude de l’hémoglobine à travers une électrophorè(...)

α-Amylase inhibitory effects of hydroethanolic extract from seven plants commonly used for Type-II diabetes treatment in Burkina Faso
Boureima KABORE, Mamounata DIAO, Samson GUENNE, Hemayoro SAMA, Kabakdé KABORE, Abdoudramane SANOU, Crépin Ibingou DIBALA, Jocelyn Constant YAPI, Kiessoun KONATE and Mamoudou Hama DICKO
Natural α-amylase inhibitors may be beneficial in reducing the release of oligosaccharides from starch and
thereby delaying glucose absorption. This research aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against α-amylase and
the inhibition mode of hydroethanolic extracts from seven plants traditionally used in the treatment of type II
diabetes.(...)

Dynamics of Colonization of Artificial Supports by Mangrove Oysters at Touguissouri (Republic of Guinea)
Ousmane Sangaré, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Yabyouré Marc-Florent Sawadogo, Ahotondji Mechak Gbaguidi, Adama Ouéda
Oysters from mangroves constitute an important food and economic resource for the coastal populations of Guinea. Unfortunately, traditional harvesting on mangrove roots is threatening these ecosystems, and climate change is exacerbating the risk of decline. This study analyses the colonisation of oysters on artificial supports in the Touguisso(...)

Introduction: In Burkina Faso, sesame is one of the most widely grown oil and
rend crops. Several varieties are grown in different regions, but little is known
about their nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the impact of the production area on the nutritional characteristics of two sesame
varieties gro(...)

Modelling the effects of adult emergence on the surveillance and age distribution of medically important mosquitoes
Isaac J. Stopard, Ellie Sherrard-Smith, Hilary Ranson, Kobié Hyacinthe Toe, Jackie Cook, Joseph Biggs, Ben Lambert, Thomas S. Churcher
Entomological surveillance is an important component of mosquito-borne disease control.
Mosquito abundance, infection prevalence and the entomological inoculation rate
are the most widely reported entomological metrics, although these data are notoriously
noisy and difficult to interpret. For many infections, only older mosquitoes are infec(...)
