The interplay between malaria vectors and human activity accounts for high residual malaria transmission in a Burkina Faso village with universal ITN coverage
Eleonora Perugini , Wamdaogo M Guelbeogo, Federica Guglielmo, Cristiana Poggi, Eugenio Gabrieli, Hilary Ranson, Alessandra Della Torre, Marco Pombi
Background: Mosquito and human behaviour interaction is a key determinant of the maximum level of protection against malaria that can be provided by insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Nevertheless, scant literature focuses on this interaction, overlooking a fundamental factor for efficient malaria control. This study aims to estimate malaria tra(...)

The tomato red spider mite, Tetranychus evansi, causes damage to cultivated Solanaceae plants (specifically tomato), resulting in a highly negative economic impact. In the current study, some biological parameters of T. evansi were evaluated using four plants as nutritive substrates (Solanum lycopersicum L., S. melongena L., S. macrocarpum L.(...)

The shea caterpillar C. butyrospermi has exceptional nutritional features. This insect is however univoltine, specific to shea and its larvae are mature only in July and August. Their food capacity apart from shea is poorly documented to suggest mass production and dietary diversification. This study aimed at evaluating the feeding and nutriti(...)

Pearl millet, Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br., main cereal crop in the Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso, is attacked by the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) which causes considerable damage. Previous studies on this pest have been conducted on ecology, biology and biological control. However, knowled(...)

Effect of augmentative releases of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) using plastic cups on Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso
Kaboré A, A Boly, A Waongo, A Sanou, F Traoré, C Dabiré-Binso, A Sanon, M N Ba
The most important insect pest of the millet crop in Burkina Faso is the Millet Head Miner (MHM), Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). To reduce its damage, the use of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) constitutes the most promising control strategy. The present study aims to know the(...)

Performance of diagnostic tests for Trypanosoma brucei brucei in experimentally infected pigs
Kadidiata Ilboudo, Alain Boulange, Robert Eustache Hounyèmè, Geoffrey Gimonneau, Jacques Kabore, Adrien Gaston Marie Belem, Marc Desquesnes, Veerle Lejon, Mathurin Koffi, Vincent Jamonneau, Sophie Thevenon
Animal African trypanosomosis is an important vector-borne disease of livestock in sub-
Saharan Africa. Pigs seem relatively tolerant to trypanosome infection and could act as a
reservoir of trypanosomes affecting animals and humans. Our ability to reliably detect trypanosome
infection in pigs depends on the performance of diagnostic tools,(...)

A novel tetra-primer ARMS-PCR approach for the molecular karyotyping of chromosomal inversion 2Ru in the main malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii.
Pichler V, Sanou A, Love RR, Caputo B, Pombi M, Toe KH, Guelbeogo MW, Sagnon N, Ferguson HM, Ranson H, Torre AD, Besansky NJ.
Background Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms have been associated with adaptive behavioral, physiological,
morphological and life history traits in the two main Afrotropical malaria vectors, Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles
gambiae. The understanding of the adaptive value of chromosomal inversion systems is constrained by the feasibility(...)

The Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the main crop pests in Burkina Faso. The growing resistance of FAW to chemical insecticides and their harmful effects on humans and the environment necessitates the search for biodegradable and eco-friendly substances. Therefore, alternative control methods, such as the use of essential(...)
