Microbiological and Physicochemical Quality of Groundwater and Risk Factors for Its Pollution in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Oumar Traoré, Dissinviel Stéphane Kpoda, René Dembélé, Courage Kosi Setsoafia Saba, Johannes Cairns, Nicolas Barro, Kaisa Haukka
Ouagadougou is a city with three million inhabitants and an increasing demand for water
of sufficient quality. New boreholes are drilled to match demand, but their protection from anthropogenic contamination is insufficient. To assess the quality of urban groundwater in Ouagadougou for
the first time, a total of 32 borehole water samples we(...)

Introduction: Cervical cancer, caused by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, remains a global public health problem. The cellular transformation and maintenance of the malignant phenotype of these
HPVs are attributed to the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7. Objective: This
study aims to detect the presence of human pap(...)

Assessment of the Aflatoxin Content of Maize Flours Produced in the Commune of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo, Raoul Bazié, Hama Cissé, Latifatou Helbi, Cheikna Zongo, Aly Savadogo
Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites present in various foods, especially when production and conservation do not respect good hygiene practices (GHP). In Ouagadougou, maize flour is produced and sold in different structures by actors who do not always respect GHP. Thus, it is necessary to regularly control the quality of these flours. So, this is(...)

First investigation of blood parasites of bats in Burkina Faso detects Hepatocystis parasites and infections with diverse Trypanosoma spp.
Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Magloire Boungou, Bertrand Adéchègoun Mèschac Chabi, Adama Oueda, Oskar Werb & Juliane Schaer
Bats are hosts to a large diversity of eukaryotic protozoan blood parasites that comprise species of Trypanosoma and different haemosporidian parasite taxa and bats have played an important role in the evolutionary history of both parasite groups. However, bats in several geographical areas have not been investigated, including in Burkina Faso(...)

Enquêtes ethnobotaniques sur la culture de la morelle noire (Solanum nigrum L.) dans quatre régions du Burkina Faso
OUEDRAOGO Mahamadi Hamed, NANDKANGRE Hervé, ILBOUDO Paulin
La morelle noire est une plante négligée, sous exploitée au Burkina Faso. Cela est dû à une méconnaissance de la plante qui est ignorée dans le système national de valorisation des légumes locaux. Ce légume-feuilles à fort potentiel nutritionnel pourrait contribuer à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et à la résilience agricole. Le but(...)

Purpose: Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is widely used for the prevention of malaria in pregnant women in Africa. Known resistance cases of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine during pregnancy need to be follow up to support IPTp implementation in Burkina Faso. However, data on the development and spread of resistance t(...)

Sahel terrorist crisis and development priorities: case of financial allocations for the control of non-communicable diseases in Burkina Faso
Moussa Ouedraogo, Dia Sanou, Ines Wendlassida Zaheira Kere, Souleymane Sankara, Nana Thiombiano-Coulibaly, Ousmane Ouedraogo, Bassibila Zoungrana, Fatoumata Hama-Ba, Aly Savadogo
In Africa, nearly 46% of all mortality will be attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 2030. While the cost of inaction far exceeds the cost of action against NCDs, global funding for the prevention and control of NCDs is minimal. The objective of this was to explore the Ministry of Health budget allocations for NCDs from 2010 to 20(...)

Farmers’ Perception of Phenotypic Variation of Different Types of Sorghum Cultivated in Burkina Faso
Sévérin Tuina, Josiane Tiendrebéogo, Mariam Kiébré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo*, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema
Sorghum bicolor is a multi-purpose species adapted to many agroecological
zones of Burkina Faso. In the local farming system, different types of sorghum
are cultivated together. Such farming conditions could increase gene
flow between the different types of sorghum and contribute to the evolution
of their main morphological characteristics(...)
