The centre of origin of Bambara groundnut (BGN; Vigna subterranea L.) is Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its high nutritional value and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
this neglected and underutilised species has recently gained significant attention. However, BGN production faces several challenges, including a lack of quality v(...)

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(...)

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(...)

Housing and household characteristics associated with malaria vectors abundance and clinical malaria incidence in a semi-urban and a rural area of Burkina Faso
Moustapha Nikiema, Peter Dambach, Justine Kabore, Sylvain Y. M. Some, Aristide Ouedraogo, Yllassa Barry, Valentin Boudo, Bertrand Adéchègoun Mèschac Chabi, Ali Sie, Athanase Badolo and Awa Gneme
Background The risk of malaria transmission varies between rural and urban areas. Environmental characteristics
and habitat structure can explain this variation. Understanding these factors is crucial for the informed selection
of existing and new vector control tools. This study investigated how housing and household characteristics affec(...)

Screening of Cowpea Mutants (Vigna unguiculata) for Resistance to Aphids (Aphis craccivora) in Burkina Faso
Karidiatou Gnankambary, Teyouié Benoit J Batieno, Zakaria Dieni, Pingawindé Sawadogo, K Issaka Sam, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Jean-Baptiste Tignégré, Jeremy Tinga Ouédraogo
The cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch.) is a significant pest of cowpea crops, causing considerable damage to seed production. To identify cowpea genotypes resistant to aphids and demonstrating strong agronomic performance, fourth generation genotypes (M4) derived from the cowpea variety Tiligré, which was irradiated with 150 Gy of gamma rad(...)

Nikiema/Minoungou M, Sawadogo S, Koulidiati J, Kabore D, Sawadogo/Somé S, Sanou F, Ouattara /Minoungou A, Nebie K, Traoré C, Kafando E
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anaemia is defined as a decrease in
haemoglobin concentration below the reference values relating to age, sex and physiological condition.
It is a widespread public health problem with major consequences on health, as well as on economic
and social development.
The objective of this study w(...)

Effects of atmospheric endocrine disruptors from the city of Ouagadougou on female reproductive function in the Wistar rat
Souleymane Bengyende, Abdoul Dramane Sana, Tééganimbé Jean Luc Kabore, Elisabeth Ouedraogo, Essohamam Jean Webike-mindamou, Balé Bayala
Anthropogenic activities contribute to the emission of various chemical particles and organic compounds into the atmosphere, either as volatile substances or through combustion, which pollute the air. Despite multiple pollution sources in Burkina Faso, limited research has been conducted on the effects of exposure to these pollutants, especial(...)

Refining malaria diagnosis in high-transmission areas: a dual-approach with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and dbPCR-NALFIA
Diane Yirgnur Some, Francois Kiemde, Hermann Sorgho, Marc Christian Tahita, Antonia Windkouni Bere, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo, Souleymane Vivien Banao, Kouadjo Bagre, Gérémie Djiri, Georges Some, Toussaint Rouamba, Yeri Esther Hien, Aly Savadogo, Henk D. F. H. Schallig and Halidou Tinto
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an essential tool in managing febrile illnesses in endemic set- tings. However, persisting parasite antigen after treatment or spontaneous remission, which can be detected by histi- dine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based RDT or Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH)-based RDTs, could lead to misd(...)

Patterns of molluscan biodiversity and abundance following reservoir creation in Burkina Faso
Idrissa OUEDRAOGO, Yabyouré Marc-Florent SAWADOGO, Salam SANKARA, Noellie W. KPODA and Adama OUEDA
Freshwater molluscs play crucial ecological roles and serve as key bio-indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, yet they can also act as vectors of parasitic diseases. This study assessed the taxonomic diversity, temporal dynamics, and environmental drivers of mollusc communities in a large reservoir in Burkina Faso. A total of 13 species were(...)

Occurence of Mycotoxins in Traditional Dried Meat (Charmout) Sold in the Markets of Ndjamena, Chad
Brahim Adoum A., Ali Haroun, Denis Erbi, Saturnin Naim, Al-Lamadine Mahamat, Abdoullahi Hissein O., Abdelsalam Tidjani, Aly Savadogo
Charmout is a traditional product made from sun-dried meat, widely consumed in Chad. Its artisanal nature and exposure to the open air make it susceptible to contamination by various molds. The aim of this work was to evaluate the mycotoxins produced by molds in charmout. One hundred sixty-two samples were collected from the six (6) markets (c(...)

Adjima Ouoba,; Romain W Soalla,; Tchidjolbe Fatime Dagou,; Felicien S. Zida, ; Nerbewende Sawadogo
Mung bean is a legume widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. Its
introduction in Burkina Faso is of great interest for the food and nutritional security of the
population. However, the development of its cultivation could be hampered by a number of biotic
constraints, including fungal diseases caused by Macro(...)
