Acacia communities and species responses to soil and climate gradients in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa
S. TRAORE
Abiotic environmental factors have a major impact on the distribution and performance of plant species. In order to assess two major species–environmental relations in Sudano-Sahelian Acacia woodlands, we tested the relationship of soil and climate variables on plant diversity as well as on species responses. The indicator species values clust(...)

Evidence for population-specific positive selection on immune genes of Anopheles gambiae
A. GNEME
Host-pathogen interactions can be powerful drivers of adaptive evolution, shaping the patterns of molecular variation at the genes involved. In this study, we sequenced alleles from 28 immune-related loci in wild samples of multiple genetic subpopulations of the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, obtaining unprecedented sample sizes a(...)

Experimental hut evaluation of Fendona 6SC®-treated bednets and Interceptor® long-lasting nets against Anopheles gambiae sl in Burkina Faso
A. BADOLO
Background & objectives: Malaria prevention relies heavily on insecticide-treated bednets. Even though the benefits of bednets have been proven that in most of the studies carried out in Africa, their efficacy remains dependent on local conditions. In this study, under field conditions, we evaluated the efficacy of two LLINs (PermaNet® vs Inte(...)

Migrations, recomposition socioculturelle et mobilité religieuse dans le Burkina postcolonial : le cas de Bama
Magloire Somé
Christianisme et islam ont largement rivalisé sous la colonisation à l’intérieur des territoires coloniaux. Leur expansion concurrentielle a redéfini les frontières sociales qui se fondent désormais sur l’appartenance à une communauté religieuse régie par un canon. Cette appartenance à une communauté implique une fraternisation au-delà des fro(...)

christianisme et changement social en Afrique aux XIXe et XXe siècles
Magloire Somé
Le christianisme est apparu, grâce à l’action sociale et éducative qui accompagne sa diffusion en Afrique, comme un facteur important du changement social. Toutefois, les crises politiques et économiques dans l’Afrique postcoloniale ont été à l’origine d’un afro-pessimisme cultivé et entretenu en Occident comme en Afrique.

Elliptic problem involving diffuse measure data
Noureddine Igbida, Stanislas Ouaro and Safimba Soma
In this paper, we study a suitable notion of solution for which a nonlinear elliptic problem governed by a general Leray–Lions operator is well posed for any diffuse measure data. In terms of the paper (Brezis et al., 2007, [10]), we study the notion of solution for which any diffuse measure is “good measure”.

Simplice D. Karou, Abago Balaka, Mitiname Bamoké, Daméhan Tchelougou, Maléki Assih, Kokou Anani, Kodjo Agbonoko, Jacques Simporé, Comlan de Souza
Objective: To assess the seasonality of the bacterial meningitis and the antibiotic resistance of incriminated bacteria over the last three years in the northern Togo.
Methods: From January 2007 to January 2010, 533 cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) samples were collected from patients suspected of meningitis in the Regional Hospital of Dapaong (n(...)

Mercury, arsenic and selenium concentrations in water and fish from sub-Saharan semi-arid freshwater reservoirs (Burkina Faso)
Ousséni Ouédraogo, Marc Amyot
Despite intensive mining activities in Burkina Faso, little is known on the environmental impacts of metals and
metalloids potentially released from these activities. Water samples and 334 fish from 10 reservoirs were
taken in order to evaluate the extent of mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and arsenic (As) contamination in aquatic
systems and t(...)

To what extent do protected areas determine the conservation of native flora? A case study in the Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso
A. OUEDRAOGO
Natural vegetation contributes significantly to the daily needs of local people especially in the developing countries. This exerts a high pressure on freely accessible natural savannas and jeopardizes the conservation of protected areas. In Burkina Faso, conservation measures, such as the creation of protected forests, have been taken to safe(...)

Asymptomatic malaria correlates with anaemia in pregnant women at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Zoenabo Douamba, Cyrille Bisseye, Florencia W Djigma, Tegwinde R Compaoré, Valérie Jean Telesphore Bazie, Virginio Pietra, Jean-Baptiste Nikiema, Jacques Simpore
Sub-Saharan Africa records each year about thirty-two million pregnant women living in areas of high transmission of Plasmodium falciparum causing malaria. The aim of this study was to carve out the prevalence of asymptomatic malaria among pregnant women and to emphasize its influence on haematological markers. The prevalence of Plasmodium fal(...)

Comparison of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacities of traditional sorghum beers with other alcoholic beverages
ABDOUL-LATIF Fatouma, Romaric G. BAYILI, Louis C. OBAME, Imael H.N. BASSOLE, and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Thirty samples of sorghum beers “dolo” were selected from traditionally fermented household manufacturers from Burkina Faso. Dolo samples were screened for their total phenolic content, proanthocyanidins and putative antioxidant capacities, and were compared with industrial beers and wines. Total phenols were measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu(...)

Historiographie du christianisme en Afrique de l’Ouest : le cas du Burkina Faso au XXe siècle
Magloire Somé
Au Burkina, l’écriture de l’histoire a d’abord été le fait des missionnaires, puis des africanistes européens. Magloire Somé montre comment les historiens burkinabè se sont réapproprié cette histoire dans les années 1980, plus tardivement que dans d’autres pays, et sans s’intéresser particulièrement à l’histoire religieuse. Celle-ci reste domi(...)
