Unusual Etiology of an Ischemic Stroke: Total Thrombosis of the Right Internal Carotid Artery in a Case Report
Wendlassida Martin Nacanabo 1, Taryètba André Arthur Seghda 1, Anna Tall/Thiam 2, Nobila Valentin Yameogo 2, André Koudnoaga Samadoulougou 1, Partice Zabsonre 2
This case presents an unusual finding of total thrombosis of the right internal carotid artery complicated by a large patch of cerebral ischaemia in the right parieto-temporo-occipital and right capsulo-lenticulo-thalamic regions. The patient was managed mainly with medication, due to the lack of human and material resources required for any i(...)

Forage harvesting using branch pruning compromises sustainable use and conservation of Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir., an endangered species
Bossila Séraphin Hien, Loyapin Bondé, Mohamed Mahamoud Charahabil, Sié Sylvestre Da, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. is a leguminous tree species with huge forage value. It is subjected to heavy pruning pressure in dry season for livestock feeding, resulting in yearly decline of forage production and vulnerability of the species which is currently classified as endangered species. This study aimed at: (i) identifying factors influ(...)

Artificial intelligence tool for cassava viral diseases diagnosis using participatory surveillance in Burkina Faso
Sawadogo S, Tiendrebeogo F, Tibiri EB, Name PE, Djigma F, Traoré L, Pita JS and Eni AO
In the area of plant health, there has been little work using participatory approaches to control emerging infectious diseases such as cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). These diseases cause significant yield losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. The current study provided low cost and early detection method of cassa(...)

Human Pegivirus (HGV) Prevalence among Blood Donors in Burkina Faso: New Data after 2013
Issoufou Tao, Prosper Bado, Edwige Yelemkoure, Alice Kiba, Leslie Marie Elé, Albert T Yonli, Florencia Djigma, Jacques Simpore
Introduction: Human pegivirus (HPgV), initially identified as hepatitis G virus in the 1990s, predominantly causes acute hepatitis and may persist particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or those co-infected with HIV, HBV, or HCV. Despite its potential public health implications, particularly in transfusion contexts, compre(...)

For effective drug quality control and detection of falsified and substandard medicines in developing
countries, there is an urgent need to develop reliable, rapid, and inexpensive analytical methods. In this
work, a methodology combining a low-cost near infrared transmission spectrophotometer with
chemometrics and sample analysis in soluti(...)

An Agroecological Zoning Approach for Sustainable Agriculture in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Moussa Waongo, Ousmane Aly Yabyouré Ouedraogo, Abdoul Azise Sodoré, Sanoussi Atta
Agriculture in West Africa faces multiple challenges, such as climate variability, soil degradation, and limited access to reliable agroecological information for agricultural planning. In this context, traditional zonation approaches have often relied solely on rainfall patterns, potentially overlooking critical biophysical factors that influ(...)

Studying multiple causes of death through verbal autopsies: Contribution of an index of similarity
Ariane Sessogo, Géraldine Duthé, Bruno Lankoandé, Kassoum Dianou
Background: The analysis of multiple causes of death was developed in high-income countries to study complex morbid processes leading to death. In other countries, such studies are severely limited by the lack of death certificates. Some cause-of-death statistics are produced at the local level through verbal autopsies (VAs): the collecting of(...)

Pastoral livestock farming constraints and adaptation strategies in response to institutional reforms in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa
Basnewindé Ilboudo, Alhassane Zaré, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Loyapin Bondé, Reginald Tang Guuroh and Oumarou Ouédraogo
Livestock farming is one of the main socio-economic activities in West Africa, predominantly extensive and reliant on natural rangelands. In Burkina Faso, the pastoral zone creation process began in 1980 to sedentarize livestock farmers, reduce social conflict, and strengthen livestock production. Therefore, these areas were subjected to insti(...)

Konaté, Ibrahime; Ouaro, Stanislas. Nonlinear elliptic problem involving natural growth term, $L^1$-data, variable exponent and Neumann boundary condition.
I. Konaté, S. Ouaro
In this paper we study a class of multivalued Neumann boundary problem governed by the general p(.)-Leray-Lions type operator and involving a natural growth term and L1 data. Using the technique of maximal monotone operator in Banach spaces and the approximation method via Yosida regularisation and penalizing term, we firstly prove the existen(...)

After two decades of mass drug administration (MDA) for schistosomiasis in Burkina Faso,
an impact assessment was conducted in 16 health districts (HDs) between February 2023
to March 2024 to determine the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis in schoolaged children and facilitate the decision for sub-district level treatment decision(...)
