Do natural methods count? Underreporting of natural contraception in urban Burkina Faso
B. SOURA
Natural methods of contraception were widely used in developed countries until the late 1960s to space and limit childbirth. In France, when the first contraceptive surveys were conducted, researchers noticed that the use of natural methods was underreported, and questions to correct for this bias were subsequently added. The Demographic and H(...)

In vitro assay of potential antifungal and antibacterial activities of extracts of Borassus aethiopum Mart
E. KABRE
The anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and pro-apoptotic properties of extracts of Borassus aethiopum have been reported in the literature. In this study, we investigated the antifungal and antibacterial properties of Borassus aethiopum male inflorescences extracts. The antifungal and antibacterial activity was studied by agar well diffusion meth(...)

Genetic variation in human HBB is associated with Plasmodium falciparum transmission
K. SIMPORE
Genetic factors are known to have a role in determining susceptibility to infectious diseases 1, 2, although it is unclear whether they may also influence host efficiency in transmitting pathogens. We examine variants in HBB that have been shown to be protective against malaria 3 and test whether these are associated with the transmission of t(...)

Anticancer activity of essential oils and their chemical components-a review
K. SIMPORE
Essential oils are widely used in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agriculture and food industries for their bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical and insecticidal properties. Their anticancer activity is well documented. Over a hundred essential oils from more than twenty plant families have been tested on more than twenty t(...)

Comparative evaluation of carbosulfan‐ and permethrin‐impregnated curtains for preventing house‐entry by the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Burkina Faso
A. BADOLO
Pyrethroid‐impregnated bednets and curtains are widely employed to reduce the risk of malaria transmission, but pyrethroid‐resistance is becoming more prevalent among malaria vector Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). As an alternative treatment for curtains, we assessed carbosulfan (a carbamate insecticide) in comparison with permethri(...)

Utilisations, état des peuplements et régénération de cinq espèces ligneuses utilitaires dans l’est du Burkina Faso
A. OUEDRAOGO
La raréfaction des espèces à importance économique et les besoins croissants en produits végétaux constituent de nos jours des facteurs d'aggravation de la pression sur les espèces utilitaires. L'exploitation abusive est la cause majeure de la destruction de nombreuses espèces végétales (Ozenda 1982). Dans les conditions climatiques précaires(...)

Toxoplasma gondii, HCV, and HBV seroprevalence and co‐infection among HIV‐positive and‐negative pregnant women in Burkina Faso
K. SIMPORE
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infections can cause serious complications in HIV‐infected pregnant women, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, birth defects (eg, mental retardation, blindness, epilepsy etc.) and could favor or enhance the mother‐to‐child transmission of HCV, HBV, and HIV vertical transmission. From May 20, 2004 to August 3, 2005(...)

Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in areas of seasonal malaria transmission in Burkina Faso: knock-down resistance gene distribution
A. BADOLO
Resistance to insecticide is the main concern for vectors control based on insecticides. We conducted a two-year monitoring on the resistance to insecticides of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus in five localities of Burkina Faso. The susceptibility to insecticides was performed using WHO test. The knock-down time (KDT) and after 24h mo(...)
