Abstract Sickle-cell disease (SCD) patients are at high risk of developing malaria which is a major contributor to morbidity andmortality in this disease. In Senegal, malaria transmission is high during rainy season, between July and October, and it was noted that sickle-cell crisis are frequent during this period. Then we carried out a double(...)

Numeration and Identification of thermotolerant endospore-forming Bacillus from two fermented condiments Bikalga and Soumbala
The thermotolerant Bacillus associated with Bikalga and Soumbala process were screened numbered and identified using standards and PCR methods. Thermotolerant bacteria in Soumbala ranged from 1.35 x [10. sup. 9] to 3 x [10. sup. 9] cfu/g, 1.24 x [10. sup. 9] to 2.78 x [10. sup. 9] cfu/g, 0.54 x [10. sup. 9] to 2.27 x [10. sup. 9] cfu/g, 3.5 x(...)

Diversité et enjeux de conservation des bois sacrés en société Mossi (Burkina Faso) face aux mutations socioculturelles actuelles
Salfo Savadogo, Amadé Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Au Burkina Faso, la société Mossi a une longue tradition de pratique animiste qui tend à régresser avec la poussée des religions importées comme l’islam et le christianisme. Les vestiges de cette tradition ancestrale que sont les bois sacrés, témoins de l’élément forestier, sont de plus en plus menacés par la forte densité démographique et l’e(...)

Antioxidant potential of 4-acyl isochroman-1, 3-diones
Djandé Abdoulaye, Kiendrébéogo Martin, Compaoré Moussa, Kaboré Léopold, Nacoulma G. Odile, Aycard Jean-Pierre and Saba Adama
A new family of compounds (4-acyl isochroman-1,3-diones), demonstrating antioxidant properties, have been
synthesized and described. Their antioxidant properties are studied herein. These antioxidant characters increased with
the electronic withdrawing character of the acyl substituent. So, 4-p-Cyanobenzoyl isochroman-1,3-dione and 4-pNitrob(...)

Antibacterial potential and antioxidant activity of polyphenols of Sesbania grandiflora
M. KIENDREBEOGO
The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of Sesbanial grandiflora used in traditional pharmacopeia in Burkina Faso and elsewhere was evaluated. Aqueous, methanolic and hydro-acetone extractions were carried out on the leaves, stems, and granules, pods of fruit and roots of the plant. The phytochimic groups were identified by the tests of cha(...)

YOTOVA V, Jean-Francois Lefebvre, Claudia Moreau, Elias Gbeha1, Kristine Hovhannesyan, Stephane Bourgeois, Sandra Bédarida, Luisa Azevedo, Antonio Amorim, Tamara Sarkisian, Patrice Avogbe, Nicodeme Chabi, Mamoudou H. DICKO, Emile Sabiba Kou, Santa Amouzou, Ambaliou Sanni, June Roberts-Thomson, Barry Boettcher, Rodney J. Scott and Damian Labuda
Recent work on the Neandertal genome has raised the possibility of admixture between Neandertals and the expanding population of Homo sapiens who left Africa between 80 and 50 Kya (thousand years ago) to colonize the rest of the world. Here, we provide evidence of a notable presence (9% overall) of a Neandertal-derived X chromosome segment amo(...)

Survival and growth responses of Jatropha curcas L. to three restoration techniques on degraded soils in Burkina Faso
S. TRAORE
Land degradation is a major problem in the Sahelian countries. Erosion control through establishment of vegetation cover is at important strategy to reverse the trend. Our research objective was to analyse the effects of three restoration techniques on Jatropha curcas L. seedlings growth and survivorship. We are conducted two separate field tr(...)

The flavanone naringenin reduces the production of quorum sensing-controlled virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
M. KIENDREBEOGO
Preliminary screening of the Malagasy plant Combretum albiflorum for compounds attenuating the production of quorum sensing (QS)-controlled virulence factors in bacteria led to the identification of active fractions containing flavonoids. In the present study, several flavonoids belonging to the flavone, flavanone, flavonol and chalcone struct(...)

A comparative study of direct and indirect solar drying of mango
D. BATHIEBO
In this work, direct and indirect solar drying parameters of two mango varieties were estimated and compared using direct and indirect solar dryers under the same meteorological conditions. For both drying methods, drying curves were established and fitted using 10 semi-empirical models, drying rate and drying efficiency curves were determined(...)

Origines et développement de la métallurgie du fer au Burkina Faso et en Côte d’Ivoire. Premiers résultats sur le site sidérurgique de Korsimoro (Sanmatenga, Burkina Faso).
SIMPORE Lassina
En 2011-12, deux campagnes de recherche sur le terrain ont été organisées à Korsimoro (Burkina Faso), avec les universités de Ouagadougou et d'Abidjan. Par le passé, Korsimoro a été un centre de production du fer majeur à l'échelle de la région, comme en témoignent de très volumineux amas de scories, résidus issus de la réduction du

Des études sur la qualité des eaux souterraines et de surfaces au Burkina Faso ont révélé un niveau élevé de contamination de ces ressources par les métaux lourds, notamment dans le milieu urbain et aux alentours des mines. La présence de ces métaux est principalement due aux activités anthropiques liées à l’industrie, l’agriculture ou encore(...)
