Distribution and Carbon Sequestration Potential of Cola laurifolia Mast.: A Dominant Native Riparian Species along Permanent Rivers in Sub-Saharan Africa
Kaboré Gouwidida Elice, Bayen Philippe, Dayamba Sizabda Djibril, Thiombiano Adjima
The continuously increasing interest in carbon market call for adequate approaches to assess and monitor the growth and carbon of tree species. Species-specific models for estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) are the accurate means of quantifying species’ carbon pools. This study aimed at developing allometric equation for Cola laurifolia Mast(...)

An overview of governance of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in West African countries
Moussa Ouedraogo, Dia Sanou, Ousmane Ouedraogo, Urbain Zongo, Fatoumata Hama-Ba, Aly Savadogo
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for over 50% of total premature mortality in most low and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, responses to the fight against NCDs are yet to be efficient in most of these countries. There is little published data on how this response is structured from a governance perspective in the context of glo(...)

Background
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection affect all social strata of humanity and in the absence of any management, this infection has a different outcome from one infected person to another. This suggests that there are specific individual factors that influence the outcome of the pathology. Sex, immunogenetics and age of contraction of(...)

The nitrogen metabolism of growing sub-Saharan cities and their prospect for shifting from regional sinks to sustainable city region food systems.
Tom Wassenaar ; Bachirou S Bodo ; Adama Hilou ;Emma Rochelle-Newall
Urban development trajectories in sub-Saharan Africa are unsustainable. Fast-growing cities constitute nutrient sinks relying on nutrient-poor hinterlands. We propose a pragmatic waste flow assessment providing authorities with a cross-sectoral view of a city’s nutrient sink status. Following a nested approach, we focus on the origin and fate(...)

Influence of climatic factors and floristic diversity on the foraging activity of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille in a West African Savannah
. Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Sambo Ouédraogo, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Nicolas J.
The foraging activities of pollinators depend on a variety of factors, such as the availability of pollen and nectar resources or the seasonality. We performed measurements on the activity patterns of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille by focusing on different factors: (i) we counted the number of bees entering the hives during 10 min per hour(...)

Sekou Armand Sanogo, Sory Diallo, Teyioue Benoit Joseph Batieno, Adejumobi Idris Ishola, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Daniel Nyadanu
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.)] is one of the most important arid legumes cultivated for pulse and forage production. Drought is one of the most damageable constraints to crop production impacting negatively food security. The potential of cowpea to address food security is well established. However, not much is known about the base index sele(...)

Introduction The global obesity epidemic and its adverse
health effects have reached sub-Saharan Africa. In some
urban settings, like Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou,
up to 43% of the adult population are overweight or
obese. At the same time, modernised food systems are
responsible for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions,

BACKGROUND: Genetic alterations can result in DNA repair defects, increasing
susceptibility to breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
involvement of two DNA repair genes, ERCC1 (rs3212986, GenBank NC_000073.9) and
ERCC2 (rs1799793, rs13181, GenBank: NC_000019.10) in the occurrence of breast
cancer in Burkina Faso.
