Influence de la fumure minérale sur les performances agronomiques du gombo (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso
Mahamadi Hamed OUEDRAOGO1 BOUGMA Lardia Ali, OUOBA Adjima, SAWADOGO Nerbéwendé, SAWADOGO Mahamadou
Cette étude vise à évaluer l’influence de deux doses de NPK sur les performances agronomiques du gombo. Ainsi quatre génotypes de gombo ont été conduits en essai selon un dispositif en split-plot avec trois traitements : 165 Kg/ha, 115 Kg/ha et le témoin 0 kg/ ha. Des différences peu significatives ont été observées entre les doses 165 Kg/ha(...)

Dynamique de la Macrofaune des Bas-fonds Soudano-saheliens dans un Contexte de Changement Climatique: Étude de Cas dans le Sous-bassin Versant du Nakanbé-Dem au Centre-nord du Burkina Faso
ILBOUDO Adama, TRAORE Mamoudou, HIEN Edmond, ZOMBRE Prosper
La dégradation des bassins versants est une preuve du changement environnemental que connait l’Afrique de l’ouest. Elle s‘exprime par la dégradation des sols de bas-fonds qui demeure une préoccupation récurrente dans les pays sahéliens comme le Burkina Faso. Cette étude qui analyse la dynamique de la macrofaune des sols de bas-fonds, a pour ob(...)

Ecology of snail parasites in the central Plateau of BURKINA FASO West Africa
SINARE Yamba, Kafando Boureima, Awa Gnémé, Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Patricia Soubeiga, Bagayan Mohamed and Magloire Boungou
Snail was invertebrate host of many parasites including trematode, nematode and annelid. Trematode are endoparasites that present a complex life cycle, generally involving an intermediate host and a vertebrate host. Many studies have focused on the diversity of trematodes in molluscs in several countries of the world. But research on mollusc p(...)

Water Quality and Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment Using Water Quality Indices in West Africa: Challenge and Perspectives
Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Seyf-Laye Alfa-Sika Mande and Limam Moctar Bawa
Water quality indices are important tools for ecosystem health assessment and potential water security indicators, but still missing in Togo. To fill this gap, biological and water quality indices performance in a basin of Lake Togo watershed were investigated. Fifty sampling sites were selected in three sections of rivers/streams (upstream, m(...)

Breeding Behavior of the Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in the Sudano-Sahelian Area (Garango, Burkina Faso)
Clément Daboné, Adama Ouéda, Jacques Boco Adjakpa, Peter D. M. Weesie
Knowledge of Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) breeding behavior is important for monitoring purposes and to understand factors that may impact their breeding rates. In this study, we describe the breeding behavior of 65 Hooded Vulture pairs during two breeding seasons (2013/2014 and 2014/2015) in the Sudano-Sahelian area, Garango, in cent(...)

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease caused by four related but antigenically
distinct dengue viruses. In the last half-century, the prevalence of dengue
fever has increased dramatically (up to 30%) worldwide, especially in
Sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, the last dengue epidemic occurred in 2016,
and the epidemiological situation(...)
