Production, characterization and application of activated carbons derived from local biomass for the removal of emerging water contaminants: linking the circular economy to the blue economy
Romarique Ouédraogo, Yacouba Sanou, Moussa Fofana , Samuel Paré
In Burkina Faso, the increasing presence of emerging contaminants such as cyanide and dyes from water resources is a major environmental concern related to sanitary diseases. To mitigate this problem, water treatment based on adsorption with local materials offers promising and sustainable alternatives instead to conventional treatment. This w(...)

Dengue fever is a major re-emerging infectious disease, posing risks in low- and middle-income countries, including Burkina Faso. Although antibodies against Aedes aegypti salivary gland extract (SGE) are recognized as reliable biomarkers of exposure to Aedes bites, data from Burkina Faso remain limited. The study compared IgG- specific respon(...)

Effect of explant type and culture medium on in vitro establishment and growth of Solenostemon rotundifolius
Rodrigue Arnaud Zongo , Aboubacar Sory , Monique Soro, Koussao Some, Rasmata Nana
In Burkina Faso, Solenostemon rotundifolius [(Poir.) J.K. Morton] is an underutilized tuber crop of considerable economic and medicinal importance. However, the conservation of stored planting material is constrained by microbial contamination, which can adversely affect subsequent plant development in the field. This study aimed to identify t(...)

Wouléyon Tiéné, Samson Guenné, Hemayoro Sama, Kabakdé Kaboré, Mamounata Diao, Ghislain Téwendé Kobendé, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrebéogo and Mamoudou Hama Dicko
Beekeeping is a rapidly expanding income-generating activity in several countries. Since 2003, good honey-harvesting practices, implemented with support from beekeeping centers, have yielded honey of high physicochemical quality. However, honey preservation remains a challenge to maintain its bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate t(...)

Community norms, individual attitudes and longitudinal changes in contraceptive agency among young women in Burkina Faso
Fiacre Bazié, Clémentine Rossier, Yentéma Onadja and Abdramane B. Soura
Most research exploring the factors influencing women’s decision-making power has focused on individual characteristics, particularly education, employment, or, more broadly, women’s socioeconomic status. However, some contradictory findings suggest that individual characteristics alone are insufficient to fully explain disparities in women’s(...)
