Haoua Nacambo*, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Jocelyne Wendpingrenoma Ouangraoua, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Kiswendsida Romaric Nanema, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Domestication of Senna obtusifolia could contribute to strengthening food security, empowering people and improving their living conditions, especially women, through the sale of leaves and seeds. However, very few studies have been devoted to the species in Burkina Faso, and it remains poorly known and still grows in the wild. The present stu(...)

Gastroenteritis is a public health problem in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. The introduction of the RotaShield rotavirus vaccine in the early 1980s had the side-effect of causing acute intestinal invaginations, which led to the introduction of surveillance. The aim of this study is to review the serotypes of rotavirus identified.(...)

Evaluation de la production de fabirama par les tiges aériennes et des tubercules au Burkina Faso
Djakaridia TIAMA; Caleb OUEDRAOGO,; Mounirou YOLOU; Djamilatou Noura TRAORE; Siédou SORY; Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO; Koussa SOME
Obtaining the seed for the production of Fabirama is tedious, due to the conditions of its conservation. The general objective of our work is to help improve the productivity of Fabirama through the use of aerial stem cuttings in Burkina Faso. And specifically aims to compare the yields obtained from the fabirama according to the mode of repro(...)

ASSESSMENT OF THE SUSTAINABILITY OF NEGLECTED AND UNDERUTILISED CROP SPECIES: SUSTLIVES APPROACH
Hamid EL BILALI, Gianluigi CARDONE, Susanna ROKKA, Eleonora DE FALCIS, Abdel Kader NAINO JIKA, Ali Badara DIAWARA, Bassirou NOUHOU, Halima DIADIE, Mahamane TARRI ALIOU, Zakaria KIEBRE, Jacques KABRE
There are different approaches and frameworks for the assessment of sustainability
in agriculture and food systems, but only a few of them focus on crops. This gap is
even more evident when it comes to the so-called neglected and underutilised
species (NUS). To bridge this gap, the present paper describes an approach for the
assessment of(...)
