Longitudinal survey of insecticide resistance in a village of central region of Burkina Faso reveals co-occurrence of 1014F, 1014S and 402L mutations in Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis
Eleonora Perugini, Verena Pichler, Wamdaogo M. Guelbeogo, Martina Micocci, Cristiana Poggi, Sara Manzi, Hilary Ranson, Alessandra della Torre, Emiliano Mancini & Marco Pombi
Background
Pyrethroid resistance is one of the major threats for effectiveness of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) in malaria vector control. Genotyping of mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene is widely used to easily assess the evolution and spread of pyrethroid target-site resistance among malaria vectors. L1014F and(...)

NEUMANN PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS INVOLVING VARIABLE EXPONENT AND MEASURE DATA
M. B. Benboubker, S. Ouaro, U. Traoré
This paper deals with the question of the existence of entropy solutions for the problem −div(a(x,u,∇u)+ϕ(u))+g(x,u,∇u)=μ posed in an open bounded subset Ω of ℝN with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition (a(x,u,∇u)+ϕ(u))⋅η=0. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponent

AGROMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BLACK NIGHTSHADE (SOLANUM NIGRUM L.) FROM BURKINA FASO
Nongbzanga Paulin ILBOUDO;BOUGMA Lardia Ali; OUEDRAOGO Mahamadi Hamed
Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) is a leafy vegetable grown and consumed around the world. It is also used as medicine and fodder for animals. Despite its socio-economic importance, very few studies have been devoted to it in Burkina Faso and its agromorphological diversity has not been yet studied. The objective of this study is to contri(...)

Prevalence of asymptomatic malaria at the communal level in Burkina Faso: an application of the small area estimation approach
Hervé Bassinga, Mady Ouedraogo, Kadari Cisse, Parfait Yira, Sibiri Clément Ouedraogo, Abdou Nombré, Wofom Lydie Marie-Bernard Bance, Mathias Kuepie & Toussaint Rouamba
Background
In malaria-endemic countries, asymptomatic carriers of plasmodium represent an important reservoir for malaria transmission. Estimating the burden at a fine scale and identifying areas at high risk of asymptomatic carriage are important to guide malaria control strategies. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of asymptomatic(...)

High Frequency of CYP2C19*3 Heterozygotes Among Patients Under Clopidogrel Treatment in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Yves Donald Kagambega, Teega-Wendé Clarisse Ouédraogo, Lassina Traoré, Modeste Ouedraogo, Nobila Valentin Yaméogo and Jacques Simporé
Background and Objective: Despite its widespread use in cardiology, patient’s response to clopidogrel exhibits significant interindividual variability, often leading to persistent thromboembolic complications. The hepatic Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) superfamily plays a pivotal role in clopidogrel’s conversion to its active form and CYP2C1(...)

Development of a model for estimating the biomass of pastures using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI): the case of the Niassa pastoral zone in Burkina Faso
Ghislain Tontibomma BAMBARA, André KIEMA, Valérie M.C. BOUGOUMA-YAMEOGO, Abroulaye SANFO and Wièmè SOME
In Burkina Faso, livestock feeding is based on pasture productivity, which is a key factor in managing livestock productivity. As such, this management requires a good knowledge of pastures. However, the high cost of producing pasture data and the inaccessibility of pastures due to insecurity mean that there is a low availability or lack of da(...)
