Refining malaria diagnosis in high-transmission areas: a dual-approach with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and dbPCR-NALFIA
Diane Yirgnur Some, Francois Kiemde, Hermann Sorgho, Marc Christian Tahita, Antonia Windkouni Bere, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo, Souleymane Vivien Banao, Kouadjo Bagre, Gérémie Djiri, Georges Some, Toussaint Rouamba, Yeri Esther Hien, Aly Savadogo, Henk D. F. H. Schallig and Halidou Tinto
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an essential tool in managing febrile illnesses in endemic set- tings. However, persisting parasite antigen after treatment or spontaneous remission, which can be detected by histi- dine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based RDT or Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH)-based RDTs, could lead to misd(...)

Patterns of molluscan biodiversity and abundance following reservoir creation in Burkina Faso
Idrissa OUEDRAOGO, Yabyouré Marc-Florent SAWADOGO, Salam SANKARA, Noellie W. KPODA and Adama OUEDA
Freshwater molluscs play crucial ecological roles and serve as key bio-indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, yet they can also act as vectors of parasitic diseases. This study assessed the taxonomic diversity, temporal dynamics, and environmental drivers of mollusc communities in a large reservoir in Burkina Faso. A total of 13 species were(...)

SCREENING OF MUNG BEAN GENOTYPES [VIGNA RADIATA (L.) WILCZEK] FOR RESISTANCE TO MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA (TASSI) GOID'
Adjima Ouoba,; Romain W Soalla,; Tchidjolbe Fatime Dagou,; Felicien S. Zida, ; Nerbewende Sawadogo
Mung bean is a legume widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. Its
introduction in Burkina Faso is of great interest for the food and nutritional security of the
population. However, the development of its cultivation could be hampered by a number of biotic
constraints, including fungal diseases caused by Macro(...)

Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Cytotoxicity Properties of Five Medicinal Plants Used by Traditional Healers in Burkina Faso: A Review
Annick Madinatou Ouedraogo, Pengdwendé Fabienne Ingrid Zongo, Aminata Marie Simone Amsalet Traoré, Luc Zongo, Estelle Ouedraogo, Aristide Traore, Florencia Djigma, Bagora Bayala, Jacques Simpore, Innocent Pierre Guissou
Background: Inflammation, this physiological process, is a natural defense mechanism that plays an essential role in tissue repair. However, if not properly regulated, inflammation can contribute to the development of chronic conditions, including cancer. Inflammatory diseases represent a major public health concern due to their significant im(...)

Fructosamine Profile in Regular Blood Donors at the Bobo-Dioulasso Regional Blood Transfusion Centre, Burkina Faso
Arnaud Kouraogo, Fabienne Marie Soudre, Raoul Karfo, Ollo Da, Alice Kiba-Koumare, Zida Abibata, Elie Kabre, Jean Sakande
Introduction: Fructosamine is a stable ketoamine, formed by the reaction between glucose and the amino group of proteins (mainly albumin, but also globulins and lipoproteins). It indicates average blood glucose concentrations of 2 to 3 weeks for monitoring and controlling diabetes. However, studies on fructosamine based on the characteristics(...)

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) presents many similar responses to drought and salinity, two water stress factors
Mouniratou Zoungrana, Moumouni Konate, Jacob Sanou, Pauline Bationo Kando
The current trend of climate change revived researchers’ interest in the study of exacerbated abiotic constraints that hamper crop production, such as drought and salinity. Although they are distinct stress factors, both drought and salinity result in water stress for plants. Water stress is an environmental constraint that threatens crop prod(...)

Socio-cultural Factors Affecting Traditional Knowledge and the Cultural Significance of the Aromatic and Medicinal Plant, Boswellia dalzielii Hutch., in Burkina Faso
Sabo P., Tiétiambou F.R.S., Guindé H.T., Salako K.V., Johnson S., DeCarlo A., Mensah S., Glèlè-Kakaï R., Ouédraogo A.
The medicinal plant Boswellia dalzielii is well known and widely used by local communities in West Africa. However, detailed information about this knowledge and its distribution among local people remains poorly documented. We assessed traditional knowledge (TK) regarding the use of B. dalzielii in communities in Burkina Faso. We conducted 16(...)

Introduction : considéré comme une analyse biologique simple et même basique par nombre de pro-fessionnels du laboratoire au Burkina Faso, le groupage sanguin ABO/RhD n’était pourtant pas bien réalisé selon une étude nationale déjà en 2011. La présente étude vise à mesurer l’ampleur des erreurs de groupages sanguins ABO /RhD chez les patients(...)

Background Aims: The leading mammary cancer in Burkina Faso, breast cancer has a variety of origins. In fact, an alteration
in the MAP3K14 [GenBank: NC_000017.11, ID: 9020] and CD40 [GenBank: NC_000020.11, ID: 958] genes can lead to the
development of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to highlight the possible involvement of the polym(...)
