Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), plasmid-mediated AmpC-β-lactamase and carbapenemase-
producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae have spread into the environment worldwide posing a potential
public health threat. However, the prevalence data for low- and middle-income countries are still scarce. The aim
of this stu(...)

Evaluation of synergism in essential oils against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus in Burkina Faso
Coulibaly, A., Biguezoton, A.S., Hema, D.M., Dah, F.F., Sawadogo, I., Bationo, Ré.K., Compaore, M., Kiendrebeogo, M., Nebie, R.C.H.,
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus affects animal production economically by reducing weight gain and milk production and causing diseases, such as babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Using synthetic acaricides to reduce their incidence has caused the emergence of resistant tick populations. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro acarici(...)

Influence des variables physico‐chimiques sur la structuration du peuplement des crevettes des eaux intérieures des zones arides : cas du Burkina Faso
KABORE Idrissa , KABORE Boudnoma Laetitia , BANCE Victor, OUEDA Adama
En Afrique de l’Ouest, en particulier au Burkina Faso, les crevettes constituent une
ressource naturelle importante pour les populations locales à cause de leur valeur économique et
nutritive. Cependant, les travaux sur les effets des variables physico-chimiques sur la composition
des crevettes restent encore très limités au Burkina Faso. P(...)

Assessment of Quality and Production Conditions of Local Beverages Produced in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo, Hama Cissé, Ganamé Abasse Ouédraogo, Kassoum Sawadogo, SamiratouTapsoba, Cheikna Zongo and Aly Savadogo
Artisanal food production has been developing in recent years in African cities. However, the promoters of the artisanal food production structures do not always apply good hygiene practices (GHP) during their activities, which can lead to the production of food of unsatisfactory quality. Thus, this study was initiated to assess the quality an(...)

Effet du génotype et du type de substrat sur la germination des graines de gombo [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] au Burkina Faso
Ouédraogo MH, Bougma LA, Kiebré Z, Ouoba A, Traoré ND, Sawadogo N, Sawadogo M.
Okra seeds are characterised by poor emergence marked by almost systematic reseeding. Few small-scale producers use germination tests, which do not seem to be within their reach. Indeed, blotting paper is the main substrate used for okra germination tests in Burkina Faso. However, the possibility of using inexpensive sand as a substrate for ok(...)
