Wilédio Marc-Emile Bonzi , Olivier Vanderhaeghe, Marieke Van Lichtervelde, Urbain Wenmenga, Anne-Sylvie André-Mayer, Stefano Salvi, Marc Poujol
We describe the geological context of rare metal-bearing pegmatites from the Mangodara district (South-West Burkina Faso, Paleoproterozoic West African Craton) and discuss their petrogenesis and links with the host rocks. The Mangodara district exposes a gneiss-granitoid complex structured in a regional-scale dome, mantled by granodioritic gne(...)

La filariose lymphatique: état de lieux des connaissances populaires dans les régions de l’Est, du Centre-Est et du Sud-Ouest du Burkina Faso
Léa PARE /TOE, Huguette TIENOU, Nourou BARRY et Jean Windéyam BIRBA
En septembre 2001, le Burkina Faso a adopté le Programme National d’Elimination de la Filariose Lymphatique
(PNEFL). Ce programme a permis le recul de la maladie dans 62 districts sanitaires. Néanmoins, la maladie
persiste toujours dans 8 districts sanitaires du pays (Batié ; Kampti ; Gaoua ; Fada N’Gourma ; Bitou ; Ouargaye
; Tenkodogo(...)

Viral and bacterial infections represent an occupational risk for female sex workers. This study aimed at determining HPV coinfection with genital pathogens among female sex workers in West and Central Africa and identifying antibiotic resistance genes. A total of 182 samples from female sex workers were analyzed by real-time PCR and classic P(...)

Effect of livestock manure on soil microbial and nutrient dynamics in zaï cropping systems of the Sahel
Salifou Traoré, Pauline Ouédraogo, Philippe Bayen, Babou André Bationo, Nathan Lee, Nicola Lorenz, Richard P. Dick
Abstract The zaï cropping system that involves precision manure placement in small excavated soil pits is designed to restore the productivity of encrusted and degraded soils of the Sahel. However, there is little information on the effectiveness of zaï cropping to improve soil quality, particularly as to how it relates to manure sources. Ther(...)

Influence of climate and forest attributes on aboveground carbon storage in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Larba Hubert Balima, François N’Guessan Kouamé, Philippe Bayen, Moussa Ganamé, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma, Adjima Thiombiano, Soro Dodiomon
West African ecosystems play an important role in offsetting carbon inputs and climate change impacts. However, whereas the role of these ecosystems in carbon sequestration has been investigated, there is a paucity in the literature regarding the spatial variation and the drivers of carbon storage in tree aboveground biomass (AGB). This study(...)

Innovative agronomic practices for sustainable intensification in sub-Saharan Africa: A review
Shem Kuyah, Gudeta Weldesemayat Sileshi, Libère Nkurunziza, Ngonidzashe Chirinda, Pierre Celestin Ndayisaba, Kangbéni Dimobe & Ingrid Öborn
Africa’s need to double food production and feed the burgeoning human population, without compromising its natural resource base, has raised the momentum for sustainable agricultural intensification on the continent. Many studies describe agronomic practices that can increase productivity on existing agricultural land without damaging the envi(...)

LE SYSTÈME CONSONANTIQUE DU MAYAA, DIALECTE SÃ́N, PARLER DE BANGASSOGO (SPB)
Tiga Alain OUEDRAOGO et Adama DIO
Abstract: The phonological analysis of the consonantal segments of Mayaa
(the sã́n dialect spoken in Bangassogo), has been carried out on each unit
according to whether it is considered under the paradigmatic axis or under
the syntagmatic axis. This resulted in 18 consonant phonemes. We used two
types of definitions: the definition accordi(...)

Yellow plum (Ximenia americana L.) is an indigenous and multipurpose tree species widely used in West Africa and especially in Burkina Faso. Most of the species’ organs are mainly used for traditional medicine in rural communities. Despite its high use value, little is known about the species distribution pattern. This study aims to assess the(...)

Effect of water stress on growth and dry matter distribution of four dryland species used in tree planting in the Sahel
Philippe Bayen, Anne Mette Lykke, François Wenemi Kagambèga, Fidèle Bognounou, Adjima Thiombiano
Abstract Water stress is the most important factor limiting early survival and growth of seedlings in arid and semi-arid zones. Many woody species develop adaptive mechanisms in response to water stress. This study assesses survival rate, growth and dry matter distribution in response to water stress in four dryland species (Senegalia dudgeoni(...)
