Preliminary toxicity and gastroprotective potential of flavonoid-rich fractions of leaves from Opilia celtidifolia (Guill. & Perr.) Endl. ex Walp (Opiliaceae)
Konaté Kiessoun, Dibala I. Crépin, Diao Mamounata, Yomalan Kassi, Alain Souza, Mamoudou H. DICKO
Objective: In Burkina Faso as in other developing countries, the diarrheal diseases constitute a serious problem of public health. To treat diarrhea, most Burkina Faso people living in the rural areas do rely on medicinal plants. To evaluate the traditional use of Opilia celtidifolia, scientific validation is needed. Methods: The collected pla(...)

Geographical distribution of ABO and RHD antigens is important for blood transfusion
services and population genetics studies. There are few data on this topic in
Burkina Faso, a multi‐ethnic country. Our study aims at reporting phenotypic and
allelic frequencies of ABO and RHD blood groups among voluntary blood donors
from various ethnica(...)

Overview of the Burkina Faso seed system: Case of the formal seed system
Lardia Ali Bougma, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Mahamadi Ouedraogo, Didier Balma, Mahamadou Sawadogo1
The seed law adopted since 2006 in Burkina Faso remains little known as its tools are unsuited to the conditions of the farmers. So, it must be revised to take into account the knowledge levels of different seed producers. To
increase crops yields, the country has initiated an extension program of improved varieties. Despite the efforts to r(...)

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) originated from Africa where it is an important grain legume. The knowledge of genetic variability level within a crop species is an important step towards improving it. The objective of this study was to determine the level and structure of genetic diversity of bambara groundnut from Burkina F(...)

Antibacterial and Anti-Quorum Sensing Activities of Ethanol Extract and its Fractions from Six Wild Fruits of Burkina Faso
Ablassé Rouamba, Moussa Compaoré, Vincent Ouedraogo, Martin Kiendrebeogo
Selon l’OMS, les infections bactériennes sont responsables de plus de 560 000 décès soit environ 1/5 des 2,7 millions de décès néonatals survenant chaque année dans le monde. La lutte contre les infections bactériennes repose essentiellement sur l’utilisation des antibiotiques Cependant les bactéries ont développé plusieurs mécanismes qui leur(...)
