Potential of Botanicals for the Disinfection of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Seeds and Bacterial Control in Burkina Faso
Nanwinyélé Euvaris Somé, Boubakar Ouattara, Amadou Diallo, Zoéyandé Oumarou Dianda, Laure Belemnaba, Kadidia Koita and Issa Wonni
In Burkina Faso, diverse seed sources and weak phytosanitary control compromise seed quality and promote the spread of pathogens such us Xanthomonas genus strains. Strengthening local capacity in diagnostics and biocontrol is essential to enhance production system resilience. To this end, cowpea seed lots (Komcallé variety) were collected from(...)

Evaluation of cowpea varietal response to bacterial blight in Burkina Faso: Implications for breeding and integrated disease management
SOME N. Euvaris, Boubakar Ouattara Benoit Joseph Batieno Zoéyandé Oumarou Dianda Kadidia Koita Nicolas WG Chen Marie-Agnès Jacques Issa Wonni
Cowpea bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. vignicola (Burkh.), is increasingly becoming a major constraint to cowpea productivity worldwide. The use of genotypes that are resistant and/or tolerant to the pathogen is an effective means of controlling the disease. In this study, we evaluated the response of 12 cowpea genotypes of B(...)

Pathogenicity Assessment of Five Fusarium Species from Onion (Allium cepa L.) on Four Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Varieties in Burkina Faso
Mohamed Sana, Kouka Hamidou Sogoba, Harouna Sawadogo, Tegawendé Abel Nana, Alassane Ouattara, Kadidia Koita
Fusarium species are among the most destructive plant pathogens, causing significant yield losses in many crops, including tomato. Their wide host range raises concerns
about cross-pathogenicity between crops commonly grown in market gardening systems, such as onion and tomato. The present study evaluated the pathogenicity
and aggressiveness(...)

Insights into Novel Viral Threats in Sweetpotato from Burkina Faso: Characterisation of Unexplored Pathogens
Name, Pakyendou E., Ezechiel B. Tibiri, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Seydou Sawadogo, Florencia Djigma, Lassina Traoré, Angela O. Eni, and Justin S. Pita.
Sweetpotato is a key staple crop in tropical and subtropical regions. Its vegetative propagation makes it a persistent reservoir, facilitating the emergence and spread of complex infections. Understanding its virome is crucial for disease management and food security. We investigated the sweetpotato virome in Burkina Faso using rolling circle(...)

First report of sugarcane white streak virus infecting sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in Côte d'Ivoire
M. L. Kouman, J. S. Pita, E. B. Tibiri, M. B. Boua, M. Ouattara, G. Yeo, N. K. Kouassi, A. O. Eni, F. Tiendrebeogo
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important interspecific hybrid crop grown for sugar and ethanol production in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. However, its vegetative propagation makes it vulnerable to viral diseases which pose a serious threat to crop yield and quality. Several viruses belonging to species in the genus Mast(...)

Artificial intelligence tool for cassava viral diseases diagnosis using participatory surveillance in Burkina Faso
Sawadogo S, Tiendrebeogo F, Tibiri EB, Name PE, Djigma F, Traoré L, Pita JS and Eni AO
In the area of plant health, there has been little work using participatory approaches to control emerging infectious diseases such as cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). These diseases cause significant yield losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. The current study provided low cost and early detection method of cassa(...)
