Félix Yaméogo, Aboubacar Sombié, Dimitri W. Wangrawa, Manabu Oté, Philip J. McCall, Erisha Saiki, David Weetman, Tatsuya Sakurai, Hirotaka Kanuka, AthanaseBadolo
Background : Resistance to insecticides is spreading among populations of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of important human arboviruses. The escalating insecticide resistance poses a significant threat to dengue vector control, with an expanding number of countries affected by the disease. To gain a deeper insight into the evolution of inse(...)

Exploration of entomotherapeutic potential of bees’ products and termite nests from Burkina Faso
Mamadou Ouango, Hama Cissé, Rahim Romba, Samuel Fogné Drabo, Rasmané Semdé, Aly Savadogo, Olivier Gnankiné
In Burkina Faso, products and nests of insect are used for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. However, this
use by local populations is marginal and empirical. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts of bees’ products and termite nests. Thus, the collected termite nests were finely ground.(...)

Background
Ae. aegypti is the vector of important μ arboviruses, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever. Despite not being specifically targeted by insecticide-based control programs in West Africa, resistance to insecticides in Ae. aegypti has been reported in countries within this region. In this study, we investigated the sta(...)

The Essential Oils Compounds of Lippia multiflora Moldenke and Cymbopogon schoenanthus (L.) Spreng Repel and Affect the Survival of the Maize Pest Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae
Dimitri Wendgida Wangrawa , Antoine Waongo , Fousseni Traore , Drissa Sanou, Chloe Lahondere, Abdoul Razac Sane, Dov Borovsky, Sylvain Nafta Ou ́edraogo, Antoine Sanon
Plant-derived insecticides, such as essential oils, can be an effective alternative to replace synthetic chemical insecticides against Spodoptera frugiperda, which becomes increasingly resistant to synthetic products. This study aims to evaluate essential oils (EOs) effects on larval growth and development following feeding inhibition, growth(...)

Study of Some Biodemographic Parameters of Caryedon serratus Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Insect Pest of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica Lin.) Fruit, in Burkina Faso
Ki Kilo F. Marina, Koï Wenceslas Kam, Emmanuel Kabore, Antoine Sanon, Zakaria Ilboudo
The lack of food security leads us to turn to the riches of the forest, namely non-timber forest products (NTFP) and timber forest products (TFP). In Burkina, these products are a source of income for families, improving their living conditions. Tamarindus indica L. that is a NFTP, is widely used in both rural and urban areas. Unfortunately, t(...)

Quantification of sporozoite expelling by Anopheles mosquitoes infected with laboratory and naturally circulating P. falciparum gametocytes
Chiara Andolina, Wouter Graumans, Moussa Guelbeogo, Geert-Jan van Gemert, Jordache Ramijth, Soré Harouna, Zongo Soumanaba, Rianne Stoter, Marga Vegte-Bolmer, Martina Pangos, Photini Sinnis, Katharine Collins, Sarah G Staedke, Alfred B Tiono, Chris Drakeley, Kjerstin Lanke, and Teun Bousema
It is currently unknown whether all Plasmodium falciparum-infected mosquitoes are equally infectious. We assessed sporogonic development using cultured gametocytes in the Netherlands and naturally circulating strains in Burkina Faso. We quantified the number of sporozoites expelled into artificial skin in relation to intact oocysts, ruptured o(...)

The interplay between malaria vectors and human activity accounts for high residual malaria transmission in a Burkina Faso village with universal ITN coverage
Eleonora Perugini , Wamdaogo M Guelbeogo, Federica Guglielmo, Cristiana Poggi, Eugenio Gabrieli, Hilary Ranson, Alessandra Della Torre, Marco Pombi
Background: Mosquito and human behaviour interaction is a key determinant of the maximum level of protection against malaria that can be provided by insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Nevertheless, scant literature focuses on this interaction, overlooking a fundamental factor for efficient malaria control. This study aims to estimate malaria tra(...)

FOOD AND NUTRITIONAL SKILLS OF THE EDIBLE CATERPILLAR CIRINA BUTYROSPERMI VUILLET (LEPIDOPTERA: ATTACIDAE) ON NON-ORDINARY DIETS FOR INDUSTRIAL BREEDING
E. Mano, L. Roamba, A. Tankoano, NSR Somda, F. Traore, F. Sankara, AR Dabiré, S. Nacro, I. Somda, A. Sanon
The shea caterpillar C. butyrospermi has exceptional nutritional features. This insect is however univoltine, specific to shea and its larvae are mature only in July and August. Their food capacity apart from shea is poorly documented to suggest mass production and dietary diversification. This study aimed at evaluating the feeding and nutriti(...)

Entomotherapy as an alternative treatment for diseases due to Gram‑negative bacteria in Burkina Faso
Mamadou Ouango, Hama Cissé , Rahim Romba , Samuel Fogné Drabo , Rasmané Semdé , Aly Savadogo & Olivier Gnankiné
Insects are known for their harmful effects. However, they also benefit humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. Its beneficial uses include entomophagy and entomotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of insect extracts against Gram‑negative bacteria. Antibacterial activities of thirteen crude extracts of medicinal i(...)

Effect of augmentative releases of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) using plastic cups on Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso
Kaboré A, A Boly, A Waongo, A Sanou, F Traoré, C Dabiré-Binso, A Sanon, M N Ba
The most important insect pest of the millet crop in Burkina Faso is the Millet Head Miner (MHM), Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). To reduce its damage, the use of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) constitutes the most promising control strategy. The present study aims to know the(...)

Pearl millet, Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br., main cereal crop in the Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso, is attacked by the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) which causes considerable damage. Previous studies on this pest have been conducted on ecology, biology and biological control. However, knowled(...)

Insecticidal and Anti-Feeding Activities of Cymbopogon schoenanthus, Lippia multiflora, and Ocimum americanum Essential Oils Against Larvae and Pupae of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Dimitri W. Wangrawa, Antoine Waongo, Fousséni Traore, Zakaria Ilboudo, Forde Upshur, Dov Borovsky, Chloé Lahondère, Athanase Badolo, Antoine Sanon1
The Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the main crop pests in Burkina Faso. The growing resistance of FAW to chemical insecticides and their harmful effects on humans and the environment necessitates the search for biodegradable and eco-friendly substances. Therefore, alternative control methods, such as the use of essential(...)
