Prevalence and specificity of red blood cell antibodies in patients transfused in tertiary hospitals in Burkina Faso
Salam Sawadogo, Koumpingnin Nébié, Catherine Traoré, Yérémadé Juste Bonzi, Mariam Boro, Dieudonné Yonli, Joseph Yaméogo, Paul Ouédraogo, Catherine Coulibaly
Background: Background: Sub-Saharan African countries face the challenge of immunological transfusion safety that puts many patients at risk of post-transfusion hemolytic reactions. This is because pre-transfusion testing for irregular/unexpected antibodies that helps to prevent these risks are neither universally available nor accessible. The(...)

Extended red blood cell antigens and phenotypes in Burkina Faso: potential issues to design local population-sourced red blood cell reagent panels
S. Sawadogo, K. Nebie, S.K.A. Ouedraogo, C. Traore, J. Koulidiati, M. Nikiema-Minoungou, N.G. Koala, E. Kafando, and V. Deneys
To date, 43 blood group systems with 349 red blood cell (RBC) antigens have been recognized. The study of their distribution is useful for blood services to improve their supply strategies for providing blood of rare phenotypes, but also to design indigenous RBC panels for alloantibody screening and identification. In Burkina Faso, the distrib(...)

Parasitic fungi of sweet grain sorghum in Burkina Faso: risks of its consumption in the absence of hygienic rules
Elise Sanon, Kounbo Dabiré, Bénovana Bakiono, Daniel Boua, Hermann Tondé, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Philippe Sankara
Sweet grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a staple food in rural Africa and is mainly grown for its grains, which are consumed in a paste-like state. It is nowadays attacked by numerous parasitic fungi, hence this study was carried out with the objective to characterize the fungal pathogens associated with this crop from the seed, v(...)

Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Burkina Faso: Epidemiological evolution of a vector-borne disease locally called “Ouaga 2000 disease”: a minireview.
Zida, A., Sawadogo, P. M.1, Guiguemdé, K. T., Soulama I., Chanolle T., Traoré, S., Sangaré, I., and Bamba, S.
In Burkina Faso, the first case of cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) dates from 1960 and a few cases were reported in the
following years. The objective of this review was to collect and analyze available data on CL in Burkina Faso to improve case management and control of disease transmission. A review of the literature was carried out using the(...)

Background: Enterobacteriaceae are the main germs responsible for bloodstreams and urinary tract infections. These bacteria became a global threat because of their multidrug resistance, essentially due to the Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) acquisition. The purpose of this study is to evaluate, the diagnostic performances of three test(...)

Antifungal activity of Pediococcus pentosaceus isolated from bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (l.) verdc.) seeds against Aspergillus flavus
OUILI S. Amidou, DIGUȚĂ Camelia Filofteia, MAIGA Ynoussa, COMPAORE Cheik Omar Tidiane, OUATTARA Aboubakar Sidiki, ISRAEL-ROMING Florentina, MATEI Florentina
In this study, 22 lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains were isolated from Bambara groundnut seeds and assessed for their ability to suppress the development of two strains of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus. The antifungal activity of LAB strains was assessed via the overlay assay. Also, HPLC methodology was used to quantify the production of(...)

GENETIC DIVERSITY, IMPORTANCE AND PROSPECTS FOR VARIETAL IMPROVEMENT OF SWEET GRAIN SORGHUM IN BURKINA FASO
TONDE Wendmanegda Hermann, SAWADOGO Nerbéwendé, TIENDREBEOGO Josiane, SAWADOGO Pingawindé, SAWADOGO Mahamadou
Sweet grain sorghum is a very important cereal for urban and especially rural communities in Burkina Faso. It is mainly grown by traditional farmers. Consumed fresh in a pasty state, the grains have a huge nutritional potential and could improve the quality of the consumers' diet. In addition, the marketing of panicles harvested at the doughy(...)

Aflatoxin contamination of crops is frequent in warm regions across the globe, including large areas in sub-Saharan Africa and Burkina Faso. Aflatoxins and fumonisins are among the mycotoxins that have been increasingly reported to affect health and productivity of livestock globally. It cuts across the value chain, affecting farmers, mark(...)

Species of the Corchorus genus: Identification, nomenclature and socio-economic role in Burkina Faso
Sawadogo Zakaridja, Kiebre Zakaria, Kiebre Mariam, Sawadogo Pingawinde and Bationo Kando Pauline1
Indigenous leafy vegetables play a significant socio-economic role for the local population. However,
most of them used at the local level have not been studied a lot and their nutritional values are less
implemented. This study focuses on the local nomenclature and the socio-cultural services of the
species of Corchorus genus. Therefore(...)
