Allometric models for improving aboveground biomass estimates in West African savanna ecosystems
Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Issaka Ouédraogo, Larba Hubert Balima, Adjima Thiombiano
West African Sudanian savanna ecosystems greatly contribute to local peoples’ livelihoods and climate change mitigation. Yet, the contribution of these ecosystems to carbon storage remains poorly documented due to the lack of accurate biomass predictive tools. Therefore, biomass allometric models developed at both the species-level and site-le(...)

There is a high prevalence of blood-borne infections in West Africa. This study
sought to determine the seroprevalence of blood-borne infections, including
hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV, and syphilis, in blood
donors in Burkina Faso. Blood donors were recruited from 2009 to 2013 in four
major cities in Burkina F(...)

Anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm activities of Securidaca longepedunculata Fresen, an endangered species from Burkina Faso
ssa Karama, Vincent Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrebeogo
The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious challenge to the global health system. The QS inhibition is one of the approaches to fight against antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Securidaca longepedunculata is a medicinal plant that roots are the only organ used against microbial diseases. This species is threatened with e(...)

DIFFERENTIAL AND COMPARATIVE SCREENING OF COWPEA VARIETIES TO Striga gesnerioides (WILLD.) VATKE FOR RACE SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION IN BURKINA FASO
P. SAWADOGO, T.J. OUEDRAOGO, Z. DIENI, T.B.J. BATIENO1, N. SAWADOGO, S.L. PODA, H. ZONGO, K. GNANKAMBARY, J.B.S. TIGNEGRE, M. SAWADOGO
Significant efforts have been made to develop cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) varieties resistant to Striga gesnerioides in Burkina Faso. Despite these efforts, the resistant genotypes developed still express differential responses to Striga gesnerioides in different zones of the country. This suggests existence of intraspecific var(...)

REDUCTION OF AFLATOXINS AND MICROORGANISMS IN THE KOURA-KOURA PRODUCED IN BURKINA FASO WITH SPICES AND AROMATIC LEAVES
REDUCTION OF AFLATOXINS AND MICROORGANISMS IN THE KOURA-KOURA PRODUCED IN BURKINA FASO WITH SPICES AND AROMATIC LEAVES
Koura-koura is a product resulting from the processing of peanut. This study consisted of producing koura-koura with garlic, pepper, ginger and mint to reduce aflatoxins and microorganisms. The objective of this work is the decontamination of koura-koura with spices and aromatic leaves. Aflatoxin determination was performed by HPLC and microbi(...)

Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst. and Sterculia setigera Del. extracts as a potential inhibitor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 virulence factors to combat bacterial pathogenicity
Dramane Paré , Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Vincent Ouédraogo, Abdel Magid Arsène Ouoba, Adama Hilou
L’utilisation abusive des antibiotiques a conduit au développement généralisé de souches bactériennes résistantes, il est donc nécessaire de développer des agents antimicrobiens avec de nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques. Le but de cette étude était de déterminer le potentiel anti-Quorum Sensing à travers l'inhibition des facteurs de virulence de(...)

Striga gesnerioides is one of the major constraints to cowpea production in West Africa. In Burkina Faso, Striga is a national phenomenon despite the control measures proposed by research. This study aims to collect farmers' perceptions of S. gesnerioides. Thus, a survey was conducted among cowpea producers in 15 localities across the four agr(...)

Silga Rimwaodo Pierre; Ouéda Adama, Ouédraogo Idrissa, Mano Komandan, Weesie, Peter D.M. & Kabré Gustave Boureima
In this paper, we perform a bibliometric analysis of published climate change research in Burkina Faso
for the period of 1987 to 2018. More specifically, this article aims at (1) revealing the temporal, and
categorical patterns in climate change research; (2) summarizing the global research trends from
multiple perspectives; and (3) prov(...)

The cultivation of chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) in Burkina Faso has become an important occupation and a great source of incomes, helping farmers to fight against poverty. However, local cultivars have low yields, essentially because of the pest pressure and the limited access to improved seeds. This study aims to contribute to a better knowl(...)
