Invasion and environmental drivers of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in the freshwater ecosystems of centre region, Burkina Faso
Salam Sankara , Noellie Winkom Kpoda , Idrissa Ouédraogo, Noellie Débora Balima and Awa Gneme
The introduction of invasive mollusc to non-native habitats can have adverse impacts on native species. This successful introduction is facilitated by habitat degradation linked to human activities. The hypothesis that it had been introduced through the importation of exotic plants was suggested after the first scientific report of Melanoides(...)

Updates on population status of vultures in Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
Clément Daboné, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Adama Ouéda, Wendengoudi Guenda, Peter D.M. Weesie
In the early 2000s, the ornithological community was alerted to the vulture population decline in West Africa. Since then, the situation of vultures in this area has not been updated, specifically in Burkina Faso’s protected areas.
To find out more, we used transect counts to explore the current status of vultures (species d(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Evaluation de l’efficacité de la régénération assistée du karité (Vitellaria paradoxa C. F. Gaertn.) par semis direct de graines et par plantation par les populations
ZERBO Guessèma Léonard, BASTIDE Brigitte, OUOBA Yempabou Hermann et HIEN Mipro
Le karité, malgré son rôle socio-économique important, est une espèce dont les peuplements se dégradent. En réponse à cette dégradation, des techniques de régénération assistée de l’espèce (semis direct de graines de karité et plantation de pieds de karité produits en pépinière) testées et validées par la recherche, ont été transférées aux pop(...)

Analyse du statut de mutation du gene EGFR chez des patients tunisiens porteurs d’un adenocarcinome pulmonaire
OUEDRAOGO Halidou, AOUE Abnondjoua Achille, OUEDRAOGO Sidziguin, Yasmin El Abed, AWEH Adjongba Bruno, H’MIDA Dorra, SAAD Ali
Introduction : La présence d’une mutation activatrice du gène EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Re-ceptor) est corrélée à une sensibilité de la tumeur aux inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinase (TKI) du gène EGFR. La recherche de ces mutations est donc essentielle pour l’indication des TKI et la décision thérapeutique chez les patients atteints d’un cance(...)

Gene action of drought tolerance traits in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) seedling
Lazare Vourbouè Bazie, Inoussa Drabo, Koussao Some, Armel Rouamba and Pauline Bationo Kando
Early-stage drought is a major constraint that reduces pearl millet productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. To support the development of drought-resilient varieties, this study investigated the genetic control of early seedling drought tolerance using generation mean analysis on two contrasting crosses: IP-18062 × IP-8426 and IP-4927 × IKMLS1 180(...)

Aedes aegypti breeding site typology and their productivity in the context of re-emergence of dengue in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso
Hyacinthe Kobié TOE, Inoussa TOE, Moussa W. GUELBEOGO, Soumanaba ZONGO, Idrissa TRAORE, Jean-Claude Wilfried W. DAMIBA, Siaka DEDE, Ibrahim SANGARE
Dengue has re-emerged in recent years in Burkina Faso, and the capital city
Ouagadougou is the most affected city. In the absence of an effective vaccine and
treatment, control of the Aedes vector through larval source management remains one
of the key sustainable strategies for responding to dengue outbreaks. This study aims
to determine(...)

Abdoul Rahamani Nikiema, Yéri Esther Hien, Michaël Kaboré, Donatien Kima, Sanhitouo C. Dabiré, Alidou Kagambèga and Guillaume Sylvestre Sanou
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries. Burkina Faso, with a national prevalence of 9.3%, is highly endemic. Despite the introduction of DTP-HepB-Hib vaccine in 2006 and WHO recommendations for universal vaccination, coverage remains suboptimal in sub-Saharan Africa. Some vaccinated(...)

Fonio (Digitaria exilis) is a cereal of food, economic and cultural importance in Burkina Faso.
Although many studies have focused on its agromorphological variability, a more thorough evaluation based on
the genome sequencing offer is essential for better management and valorization of this cereal. This present study
