Comparative evaluation of carbosulfan‐ and permethrin‐impregnated curtains for preventing house‐entry by the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Burkina Faso
A. BADOLO
Pyrethroid‐impregnated bednets and curtains are widely employed to reduce the risk of malaria transmission, but pyrethroid‐resistance is becoming more prevalent among malaria vector Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). As an alternative treatment for curtains, we assessed carbosulfan (a carbamate insecticide) in comparison with permethri(...)

A 24-bp duplication in exon 10 of human chitotriosidase gene from the sub-Saharan to the Mediterranean area: role of parasitic diseases and environmental conditio...
K. SIMPORE
Human chitotriosidase (Chit) is a member of the chitinase family and it is synthesized by activated macrophages. Recently, a genetic polymorphism was found to be responsible for the common deficiency in Chit activity, frequently encountered in different populations. We analyzed the Chit gene in some ethnic groups from the Mediterranean and Afr(...)

Use patterns, use values and management of Afzelia africana Sm. in Burkina Faso: implications for species domestication and sustainable conservation
B. NACOULMA
The lack of literature on the interactions between indigenous people and the valuable agroforestry trees hinder the promotion of sustainable management of plant resources in West African Sahel. This study aimed at assessing local uses and management of Afzelia africana Sm. in Burkina Faso, as a prerequisite to address issues of domestication a(...)

Strategies trees use to overcome seasonal water limitation in an agroforestry system in semiarid West Africa
H. BAZIE
Agroforestry parklands, in which annual crops are grown under scattered mature trees, constitute the most prevalent farming system in semiarid West Africa, covering vast areas of land. The most dominant tree species in these systems is Vitellaria paradoxa, an indigenous tree to West Africa. Despite the importance of this tree in the region, no(...)

Pulmonary embolism mimicking acute anterior myocardial infarction: diagnostic trap
N. YAMEOGO
Pulmonary embolism remains the major malingerer of acute chest disease. The clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations may deviate to a diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We report a case of bilateral pulmonary embolism in a patient of 50 years. The electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in anteroseptal and lateral leads. The diagnosis o(...)

Drying of “Amelie” mango (Mangifera Indica L.): Influence of temperature on drying rates and shrinkage curves from 50 to 90 C.
D. BATHIEBO
In this study, drying rates and shrinkage curves of Amelie mango are established from 50 to 90 C and the temperature influence is investigated. Results show that drying rates are greatly influenced by drying air temperature and most of the drying process takes place during the falling drying rate period. From 50 to 90 C, drying kinetics are su(...)

Endosymbiont metacommunities, mtDNA diversity and the evolution of the Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species complex
Bemisia tabaci, an invasive pest that causes crop damage worldwide, is a highly differentiated species complex, divided into biotypes that have mainly been defined based on mitochondrial DNA sequences. Although endosymbionts can potentially induce population differentiation, specialization and indirect selection on mtDNA, studies have largely(...)
