ABDOULAYE HAMA DIALLO, ABU SADAT MOHAMMAD, SAYEEM BIN SHAHID, ALI FAZAL KHAN, ALI FAISAL SALEEM, BENSON O SINGA et al
Abstract
Background: A better understanding of which children are likely to die during acute illness will help clinicians and policy makers target resources at the most vulnerable children. We used machine learning to characterise mortality in the 30-days following admission and the 180-days after discharge from nine hospitals in low and mi(...)

Variation saisonnière de la fertilité du bouc sahélien en zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso
HARO Moïse, ZONGO Moussa
Les variations saisonnières de la disponibilité alimentaire semblent avoir une influence sur la fertilité du bouc au sahel. La fertilité du bouc sahélien a été appréciée au cours de la saison sèche et de la saison humide dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso. L’objectif de ce travail est d’apprécier les variations des taux de gestati(...)

Metagenomic Analysis of the Abundance and Composition of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Hospital Wastewater in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Finland
Markkanen MA,Haukka K,Pärnänen KMM, Dougnon VT, Bonkoungou IJO, Garba Z, Tinto H, Sarekoski A, Karkman A,Kantele A, Virta MPJ,
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to human health, with the most severe effect in low- and middle-income countries. We explored the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the hospital wastewater (HWW) of nine hospitals in Benin and Burkina Faso, two low-income countries in West Africa, with shotgun metagenomic sequencing. For(...)
