Association mapping by pooled sequencing identifies TOLL 11 as a protective factor against Plasmodium falciparum in Anopheles gambiae
A. GNEME
The genome-wide association study (GWAS) techniques that have been used for genetic mapping in other organisms have not been successfully applied to mosquitoes, which have genetic characteristics of high nucleotide diversity, low linkage disequilibrium, and complex population stratification that render population-based GWAS essentially unfeasi(...)

Evolution of GOUNDRY, a cryptic subgroup of Anopheles gambiae s.l., and its impact on susceptibility to Plasmodium infection
A. GNEME
The recent discovery of a previously unknown genetic subgroup of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato underscores our incomplete understanding of complexities of vector population demographics in Anopheles. This subgroup, named GOUNDRY, does not rest indoors as adults and is highly susceptible to Plasmodium infection in the laboratory. Initial descrip(...)

Use of non wood forest products by local people bordering the “Parc National Kaboré Tambi”, Burkina Faso
B. NACOULMA
In the French-speaking countries of Africa, strategies of conservation, inherited from the colonial time, exclude the bordering people in the management of the national parks plant resources. Today, policies and legislation try to reconcile forest conservation and development by associating local people. As a consequence, approaches of partici(...)

Herbarium collections and field data‐based plant diversity maps for Burkina Faso
A. THIOMBIANO
ABSTRACT A map of plant species diversity in Burkina Faso is presented based on field observations and specimen data from the Ouagadougou University Herbarium (OUA) and the Herbarium Senckenbergianum (FR). A map of collecting intensity and field observations illustrates centres of botanical research activities in Burkina Faso. To overcome prob(...)

Atrial fibrillation, frequency, etiologic factors, evolution and treatment in a cardiology department in Dakar, Senegal
N. YAMEOGO
Conclusion La fibrillation atriale est fréquente en milieu hospitalier africain et concerne des sujets relativement jeunes. L'hypertension artérielle et les valvulopathies rhumatismales sont les principaux facteurs étiologiques. Le traitement reste essentiellement médicamenteux par contrôle de la fréquence cardiaque.

Association between sickle cell trait and low density parasitaemia in a P. falciparum malaria holoendemic region of Western Kenya
A. BADOLO
Aims: The frequency of the mutant gene for sickle cell is widely distributed in the sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent. There is epidemiologic evidence that sickle cell trait confers a survival advantage against malaria and that the selection pressure due to malaria has resulted in high frequencies of the mutant g(...)

Distribution of Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) biotypes and their associated symbiotic bacteria on host plants in West Africa
1. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a pest of many agricultural and ornamental crops worldwide and particularly in Africa. B. tabaci is a complex of more than 20 biotypes. Effective control of B. tabaci calls for a greater knowledge of the local biological diversity in terms of biotypes or putative species. Information is available about biotype(...)

Screening of silent myocardial ischaemia by dobutamine stress echocardiography among type 2 diabetics at high cardiovascular risk in Senegal
N. YAMEOGO
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease witch may develop insidiously. Several non-invasive methods are used to detect silent myocardial ischaemia, especially in diabetic patients at high cardiovascular risk. We project to screen, by dobutamine stress echocardiography, silent myocardial ischaemia in type 2 dia(...)

Floristic and dendrometric analysis of woodlands in the Sudano-Guinean zone: a case study of Belléfoungou forest reserve in Benin
A. OUEDRAOGO
A floristic and dendrometric analysis was carried out using 15 square plots of 1 ha each in the Belléfoungou forest reserve, located in the Sudano-Guinean zone of Benin. Species and diameter at breast height of trees were recorded. Multidimensional scaling and importance value index of species were used to identify vegetation types in the rese(...)

Regulation of the Na+‐K+(NH)‐2Cl− cotransporter of rat submandibular glands
E. KABRE
A cellular suspension from rat submandibular glands was exposed to different concentrations of NH4Cl, and the variations of the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca2+] i) and the intracellular pH (pHi) were measured using fura‐2 and 2′, 7′‐bis‐(2‐carboxy‐ethyl)‐5 (6)‐carboxyfluorescein. More than 5 mmol/l NH4Cl significantly increased t(...)

Traditional plant use in Burkina Faso (West Africa): a national-scale analysis with focus on traditional medicine
B. NACOULMA
The West African country of Burkina Faso (BFA) is an example for the enduring importance of traditional plant use today. A large proportion of its 17 million inhabitants lives in rural communities and strongly depends on local plant products for their livelihood. However, literature on traditional plant use is still scarce and a comprehensive(...)
