Background: Malaria in pregnancy is a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP), reduces malaria-associated adverse outcomes but routine diagnostics miss low-density infections, and coverage remains suboptimal in many endemic settings.

Innovative and Secure Private Key Synchronization Mechanism Between Devices Using Peer-to-Peer Approach in Passkeys System
Assane ILBOUDO, Didier BASSOLE, Désiré GUEL
Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method that is increasingly being adopted. Based on asymmetric cryptography, they offer a secure and promising alternative to traditional passwords. In this paper, we propose a new secure approach for passkey synchronization based on a Peer-to-Peer mechanism between devices. Our secure services integr(...)

Residual Effect of Laying Hen Manure on the Growth and Yield of Pearl Millet in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Sory Aboubacar, Zongo Rodrigue Arnaud, Nacambo Haoua, Yao Siaka and Nana Rasmata
Background: Pearl millet is a key staple crop in Burkina Faso, vital for food security and livestock feed, but its productivity is limited by declining soil fertility and low use of expensive mineral fertilizers. Poultry manure, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, is emerging as a sustainable organic alternative to improve soil fertil(...)

Antibiotic resistance profile and prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus at the National Agency for Health Safety in Environment, Food, Work and Health Products in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Dissinviel Stéphane KPODA, Abibou SIMPORE, Dinanibe KAMBIRE, Adama Patrice SOUBEIGA, Darlington Chukwuma UGWU, Paulette KARFO, Elie KABRE, Maxime Koiné DRABO
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in Burkina Faso, driven by
widespread and inappropriate antimicrobial use. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) poses a particular threat through community-acquired infections, which
remain underreported. This study assessed MRSA prevalence and resistance patterns at(...)

Knowledge and practices of biosecurity in aquaculture in Loumbila commune: farmers’ perceptions and health management implications, Burkina Faso
Dissinviel Stéphane Kpoda, Adama Patrice Soubeiga, Souhoudou Sawadogo, Cheick Amadou Tidiane Ouattara, Kounbèsiounè Marius Somda
Background
Fish farming was introduced in Burkina Faso in the 1950s to offset
declining capture fisheries and enhance food security. In Loumbila
commune, aquaculture has recently expanded, but its growth is
constrained by aquatic diseases. Biosecurity, essential for preventing
pathogen introduction and spread, remains poorly implement(...)

Agro-physiological Evaluation of Selected Mung Bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] Accessions under Rainfed Conditions in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Kassamba Abdoul Hadi Diaby ,Nana Rasmata, Berthe Ousséni, Zongo Rodrigue Arnaud, and Banhoro Abdoulazize
In Burkina Faso, mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) remains underexploited despite its high potential, though recent efforts aim to integrate it into local farming and diets. Adoption fundamentally relies on high-yielding, well-adapted seeds. This study evaluated the adaptability of fifteen accessions to the Sudano- Sahelian zone of Burkin(...)

Design of a "Mini Smart Grid" for the electrification of Koumnéré locality: Power supply via a hybrid PV/Diesel power plant with battery storage
Dioari Ulrich Combari, Arnaud Ouermi, Wend Yam Mickaïla Tertus Dermé, Mamoudou Saria, Issa Zerbo
This work concerns the design of a small hybrid photovoltaic/diesel generator power plant with battery energy storage. This system will supply electricity to the Koumnéré area, located in the South-Central region of Burkina Faso. Photovoltaic energy is obtained from a free primary energy source: solar energy. However, it is an intermittent ene(...)

Agro-Physiological Performance and Yield Evaluation of Maize Hybrid Genotypes under Rain-Fed Sudano-Sahelian Conditions in Burkina Faso
Rodrigue Arnaud Zongo, Aboubacar Sory, Rasmata Nana a and Némata Ouédraogo
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial to food security in Burkina Faso. However, productivity remains constrained by low yields in some varieties. This study aimed to evaluate the agro-physiological performance of eight hybrid genotypes under rain-fed Sudano-Sahelian conditions. Eight (8) maize genotypes (E8, E19, E30, E32, E42, E45, E18 and E28) wer(...)

“What is the essence of cultivating a crop that does not yield enough to feed my family?” Farmer agency and the management of agrobiodiversity in Ghana and Burkina Faso
Michael Olaitan Ademilola, · Paul Effah,· Viviane Yameogo, · Thomas Daum, · Lilli Scheiterle, · Felix Asante, · Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, · Regina Birner
The preservation of agrobiodiversity is widely regarded as a cornerstone of sustainable agri-food systems, yet dominant narratives often portray crop diversity in smallholder farming as declining under pressures of intensification and market integration. Less attention has been given to how farmers themselves perceive, manage, and actively sha(...)

Introduction: Emerging and re-emerging viral diseases are a growing threat to public health, especially in resource-limited countries. In Burkina Faso, the resurgence of dengue fever, associated with cases of chikungunya and measles, reflects persistent transmission and a morbidity and mortality still poorly documented in hospitals. The object(...)
