Cowpea is an important legume crop to farmers as a food, fodder, agronomic, and income-generating crop. Despite these multiple advantages, cowpea cultivation faces enormous abiotic and biotic constraints, including fungal diseases such as Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. One of the control measures for this disease, which(...)

Are freshwater stoneflies (Plecoptera) endangered in the West African Sahel region?
IDRISSA KABORE, ADAMA OUEDA, OTTO MOOG, ANDREAS MELCHER
Stoneflies are valuable indicators of ecological health and play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of West Africa, but the research on Stoneflies species are still very insipid and sparse. By understanding their distribution patterns, we can develop effective strategies to conserve these important insects and ensure the sustainabi(...)

A field guide for sampling bats (Chiroptera) for eco-epidemiological studies
Shariful Islam, Napoko Malika Kangoyé, Andrés Velasco-Villa, Abdoulaye Hama Diallo, Robab Katani, Luis E. Escobar
Bats serve as reservoir hosts for numerous zoonotic pathogens of public health
significance, including coronaviruses, lyssaviruses, and henipaviruses, while
simultaneously playing critical roles in ecosystem function through pollination,
seed dispersal, and pest control. The increasing frequency of bat-associated disease
outbreaks has(...)

Behavior of potential insect pollinators visiting Moringa oleifera flowers
Babou Frédéric Bazié, Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, Salifou Kabré, Olivier Gnankine
The influence of potential insect pollinators is decisive in the fruiting process of many cross-pollinated plants. The aim
of this study was to determine the behaviour of potential pollinating insects visiting Moringa oleifera flowers. Collections were carried out from July to September 2018 and 2019, followed by monitoring of the behavior of(...)

α-Amylase inhibitory effects of hydroethanolic extract from seven plants commonly used for Type-II diabetes treatment in Burkina Faso
Boureima KABORE, Mamounata DIAO, Samson GUENNE, Hemayoro SAMA, Kabakdé KABORE, Abdoudramane SANOU, Crépin Ibingou DIBALA, Jocelyn Constant YAPI, Kiessoun KONATE and Mamoudou Hama DICKO
Natural α-amylase inhibitors may be beneficial in reducing the release of oligosaccharides from starch and
thereby delaying glucose absorption. This research aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against α-amylase and
the inhibition mode of hydroethanolic extracts from seven plants traditionally used in the treatment of type II
diabetes.(...)

Un grand nombre de mutations sur les gènes codant l’hémoglobine conduit à différents types d’hémoglobinopathies. Ces dernières peuvent être handicapantes pouvant mettre en danger le pronostic vital dans certaines conditions comme la déshydratation, l’hypoxie, l’hyperthermie… D’où l’intérêt de l’étude de l’hémoglobine à travers une électrophorè(...)

Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)

Introduction: In Burkina Faso, sesame is one of the most widely grown oil and
rend crops. Several varieties are grown in different regions, but little is known
about their nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the impact of the production area on the nutritional characteristics of two sesame
varieties gro(...)
