West Africa constitutes a hotspot region for both land use change and climate change. Land use change, and highclimate variability in this region negatively affect tree growth dynamics, ecosystem functioning and services. In the presentstudy, we assessed the impacts of climate variability on tree growth of Detarium microcarpum Guill. & Perr. a(...)

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(...)

Trends and prediction of extreme precipitation indices in three cities of Burkina Faso using non-parametric statistics and the Holt-Winters smoothing method
Joseph Yaméogo
Climate extremes have become an important issue in recent years, leading to renewed scientific interest in the topic. However, few studies have focused on the analysis of precipitation extremes in cities in Burkina Faso, a Sahelian country in West Africa. The aim of this study is to analyse the trends and future projections of extreme precipit(...)

Influence of Vegetal Roofs on Thermal Comfort in Housing in Sahel Region
Paul Ilboudo, Saidou Sore, Adrien Sanembaye, Jean Marie Compaore, Boubacar Soro, Thierry S. Maurice Ky, Sié Kam, Dieudonné J. Bathiebo
The concern for improving comfort in housing has led man to consider the temperature, which primarily influences thermal comfort inside the building. In a building, all walls are capable of receiving and transferring heat, but the roof contributes significantly to heat exchanges more than the other walls. In this article, we focused on the eff(...)
