Mapping the COVID-19 pandemic in Burkina Faso: spatial patterns, socioeconomic factors, and public health implications
Abdoul Azize Millogo, Aboubacar Karabinta, Emmanuel Kiendrebeogo, Bry Sylla, Abdoulaye DIABATÉ, Lassane Yameogo
The first case of COVID-19 in Burkina Faso was reported in March 2020. As of June 8, 2025, Burkina Faso reported 22,114 confirmed cases and 400 deaths. However, few studies have investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of pandemics within the national boundaries. This study provides a retrospective spatial analysis of COVID-19 transmission in(...)

Noëllie W. Kpoda, Salam Sankara, I Ouedraogo, Noellie Débora Balima, Awa Gneme, Adama Ouéda, Herman Sorgho
Background The socioeconomic consequences of schistosomiasis have forced the integration of control strategies. Currently, all control efforts have tended to involve the control of snail intermediate hosts. However, the integration of snail control into the general schistosomiasis control strategy has not yet been effective in Burkina Faso. Wh(...)

Analysis of a nonlinear boundary value problem with p-Laplacian operator and Robin-type nonlinear boundary condition
MAMADOU BIRBA, AMIDOU TRAORE AND OUMAR TRAORE
In this paper, we study the existence of a solution of a nonlinear system involving the p-Laplace operator, a reaction
of the form μ|z|q z, a general nonlinearity f (z) with nonhomogeneous and nonlinear Robin-type boundary conditions. We
prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to this problem by reformulating the system and app(...)

Djamal Dine DIASSO et Mahamadi OUEDRAOGO
This article raises the issue of the sovereignty of African Commonwealth member states. In fact, with the transformation of the British Commonwealth to the Modern Commonwealth, most studies on the organisation argue that member states are now free from British subjugation. In Contrast to previous studies, the primary goal of this article is to(...)
