Behavioral and phenotypic responses of Anopheles coluzzii (Diptera: Culicidae) to the non-consumptive effects of Anisops jaczewskii (Hemiptera: Notonectidae) and Pantala flavescens (Odonata: Libellulidae) in Burkina Faso
Judicael Ouedraogo , Olivier Gnankine ,Tarwendpanga F.X. Ouédraogo, Bouraïma Vincent Séré , Joel Farma, Emmanuel Sougué, Roch K. Dabiré, Abdoulaye Diabaté, Ruth Müller and Simon P. Sawadogo
During their aquatic life stages, mosquitoes coexist with various organisms that may prey upon them. Beyond the direct predation risk, exposure to predators may induce stress that alters mosquito life history traits. In this study, we evaluated the
non-consumptive effects of 2 aquatic predators on Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson life h(...)

Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and
Klebsiella pneumoniae represent a major clinical and public health concern due to their
ability to confer resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics. Data on the molecular
epidemiology of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae remain lim(...)

Effect of Seedlings Conservation Methods on Physiological Recovery and Tuber Yield of Solenostemon rotundifolius [(Poir.) J.K. Morton]
Rodrigue Arnaud Zongo, Aboubacar Sory and Rasmata Nana
Despite its many advantages, Solenostemon rotundifolius remains underutilized. Inadequate seedling conservation impairs their quality and reduces germination and yield. This study evaluates the effect of conservation methods on physiological recovery and tuber yield. A trial was conducted during the 2023/2024 rainy season using a split-plot de(...)

Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, remains a major public health priority in tropical regions. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detecting anti-Plasmodium antibodies is an essential diagnostic tool. However, its sensitivity and specificity are closely dependent on the concentration of antigens used.

Introduction: Forensic investigations involving the discovery of a corpse or human remains aim to identify the individual involved. Sometimes, the body is subjected to chemical solutions with the intention of disintegrating or completely altering it. This further complicates identification. Nevertheless, it is possible to recover sufficient DN(...)
