Eric Korsaga , Nébon Bado , Dominique Bonkoungou, Toussaint Tilado Guingane, Haidara Savadogo, Sidpendyaolba Sosthene Ldg Tassembedo, Zacharie Koalaga
Monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon-based modules are commonly used in Burkina Faso, particularly in the city of Koudougou, to generate electricity. However, climatic parameters affect the performance of these modules. It is therefore necessary to conduct a comparative study between polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon-based pho(...)

Self-Immolative Systems in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
Windbedema Prisca Ouédraogo, Thomas Cailly, Valérie Collot
Self-immolative systems first emerged in prodrug chemistry in the 1980s. Since then, several types of self-immolative systems have been developed. Despite their structural differences, all self-immolative systems operate on the same principle: an intramolecular reaction cascade triggered by a specific stimulus, ultimately leading to the releas(...)

Clinical and etiological characteristics of new-onset epilepsy in the elderly
Djingri Labodi Lompo, Raphael Marie Patrick Kabore, Adeline Marie Julie Kyelem, Alassane Zoungrana, Fabienne M. Yabtouta Kere, Melody Zeinab Gnampa, Christian Napon, Athanase Millogo
Objectives: The population over 60–65 years of age is growing rapidly worldwide, even in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), leading to an increase in risk factors for epilepsy in the elderly. In SSA, there is little epidemiological data on epilepsy in the elderly; hence, the present study aims to describe the clinical and etiological characteristics of(...)

Biology of the striped borer, Chilo zacconius Bleszynski (1970) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Burkina Faso
Kossi Latevi, Pélagie R. Nadinga, Delphine Ouattara, Innocent Sibiri Yaméogo, Olivier Gnankiné and Souleymane Nacro
Chilo zacconius is one of the main rice stem borers in Burkina Faso. A study was conducted on its biology under controlled conditions of 25.46 ±1 °C temperature, 75.94 ±4% relative humidity, and a 12-hour photoperiod. To do this, immature populations of the insect were sampled in rice fields at Bama, western Burkina Faso for mass rearing of th(...)

Five aromatic plants against wild malaria vectors: an eco-friendly approach against Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Mahamoudou Balboné, Olivier Gnankiné and Moussa Namountougou
Background Vector control strategies have predominantly relied on the use of synthetic chemicals, leading
to the widespread of resistance among malaria vector populations. This growing resistance has prompted increased
interest in alternative control methods, particularly those based on plant-derived essential oils (EOs). The present
study(...)

Allometry-based estimation of the wild custard-apple (Annona senegalensis Pers.) fruit biomass according to climate conditions in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubacar Baba Zouré, Loyapin Bondé, Bassiaka Ouattara, AmadéOuédraogo
Annona senegalensis Pers. is a wild edible shrub species with high nutritional value. However, the species is poorly promoted across sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of information about its productivity. This study aimed to: (i) identify the driving factors of the species’ fruit biomass and (ii) develop allometric models for estimating its(...)
