Effect of slanted soil design and filter media distribution on the removal of fecal bacteria and organic matter from greywater
MAIGA Ynoussa, NDIAYE Awa, SANGARE Drissa, BITIE Emeline, USHIJIMA Ken
Slanted Soil Treatment System (SSTS) was previously designed for onsite greywater treatment. In this study, several configurations were tested with granitic gravel in order to improve its efficiency. The lowest average removal efficiencies for fecal coliforms, enterococci and E. coli were 1.78, 2.15 and 2.21 log u. respectively and originated(...)

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Fractions from Bidens engleri O.E. Schulz (Asteraceae) and Boerhavia erecta L. (Nyctaginaceae),
Moussa COMPAORÉ, Sahabi BAKASSO, Roland Nâg Tiero MEDA and Odile Germaine NACOULMA
Selon des études récentes, les espèces oxygénées réactives sont les précurseurs du développement de maladies métaboliques chez l'homme. L'utilisation d'antioxydants naturels est le meilleur moyen d'arrêter ou de prévenir ce problème. L’objectif de cette étude était donc d’évaluer les activités antioxydantes et anti-inflammatoires et de quantif(...)

Technologies, qualité et importance socioéconomique du poisson séché en Afrique
Hissein O. Abdoullahi, François Tapsoba, Flibert Guira, Cheikna Zongo , Lawane Idriss Abakar , Abdelsalam Tidjani , Aly Savadogo*
Les pertes post-captures constituent un problème reconnu dans la sous-région. En Afrique subsaharienne,
environ 25 % du poisson sont perdus par manque de moyens efficaces de conservation et de transformation. Les
techniques traditionnelles (le salage, le séchage et le fumage) sont des moyens utilisés pour conserver et
améliorer la dispon(...)

Phytochemistry, Antioxidant, and Hepatoprotective Potential of Acanthospermum hispidum DC Extracts against Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’DO, Adama HILOU, Noufou OUEDRAOGO, Ernest Nogma SOMBIE and Tata Kadiatou TRAORE
Background: Burkina Faso is classified among the countries with a high prevalence (˃12%) of hepatitis. Hepatic diseases, such as cirrhosis—related to alcoholism—and hepatitis B and C, are the cause of the increase in cases of liver cancer. They promote the development of cancer by decreasing the natural cell death, causing problems with DNA re(...)

Cowpea is a dual-purpose protein crop which has a high nutritional value. However, many problems such as cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus limit its production. This study aimed at assessing the resistance of varieties of cowpea to cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV). Thus, a complete diallel cross between five cowpea varieties was done in a(...)
