Background. Rotavirus vaccines are moderately protective against illness in settings with high compared with low mortality rates. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) evaluations may clarify our understanding of these disparities, but estimates among key subpopulations and against rare outcomes are not available in many analyses due to sample size. We c(...)

Evaluation de l’effet des rayons gamma sur des caractères morphoagronomiques quantitatifs chez des mutants M1 de trois cultivars de gombo [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] au Burkina Faso
Yakoro Alphonse ; Ouédraogo Mahamadi Hamed
La base génétique extrêmement étroite des variétés de gombo cultivées disponibles est la principale contrainte pour la sélection de nouvelles variétés. Ainsi, en vue de créer la variabilité par mutagenèse induite et permettre la sélection, les graines de trois cultivars de gombo, UAE22, KbG24 et KbG535, ont été irradiées aux rayons gamma du 60(...)

Density and Ecological Distribution of Geckos in the Sahelian Metropolitan Area of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Wendata Francis Dayama, Napoko M. Kangoyé, Emmanuel M. Hema
Tropical dry areas are often characterised by a lack of reptile abundance data. For example, in Burkina Faso, the population and
ecological distribution of the gecko are poorly understood. Contributing to fill this gap, this study assessed the diversity, density
and ecological distribution of geckos in the metropolitan area of Ouagadougou.(...)

Worlwide, fungi are by far the most common pathogen in fish farming. They are responsible of important economic losses in the fishery sector. However, in Burkina Faso knowledge of fungi infecting farmed fish are scarce. As a consequence, the prevalence as well as the effect of these pathogens are not known. A study was carried out on fungal in(...)
