Evaluation of the hygienic and sanitary quality of attiéké produced by hand in Burkina Faso: case of "Burkina journalier", a local processing unit in Dedougou.
Réné Dembelé, Ali Konaté, Oumar Traoré, Kaboré W. A. Désiré, Luc Sarambé, Charles Edouard T. Kaboré, Harouna Bidiga, Alfred S. Traoré, Nicolas Barro
In Burkina Faso, the lack of good hygienic practices (GHP) by producers and the uncontrolled sale of attiéké expose consumers to health risks like the Toxi-Infections Food (TIF). Our study aims to establish the hygienic quality of attiéké produced at Dédougou (Boucle du Mouhoun) and how to apply good manufacturing practices (GMP) and good hygi(...)

Distribution of resistance genes encoding ESBLs in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from biological samples in health centers in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Dissinviel S Kpoda, Abraham Ajayi, Marius Somda, Oumar Traore, Nathalie Guessennd, Aboubakar S. Ouattara, Lassana Sangare, Alfred S. Traore and Mireille Dosso
Objective: Resistance to antibiotics most especially third generation cephalosporins has assumed a worrisome
dimension globally. Genes conferring these resistance which are mediated by enzymes known as extended spectrum
beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are now wide spread among several Enterobacteriaceae species. However there is paucity of
data reg(...)

Geochemical evaluation of soil, surface water and groundwater around the Tongon gold mining area, northern Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa
Aboubakar Sako, Sanata Semdé and Urbain Wenmenga
A comprehensive geochemical evaluation of soils and water resources around the largest gold mine in Côte d’Ivoire was conducted. The enrichment factors and statistical analysis of heavy metals revealed that the mining had greatly contributed to As, W, Hg, Sr and, to a lesser degree, Co, Ni and Zn loadings into the soils. In contrast, V, Zr, Hf(...)

Impacts of hydrogeochemical processes and anthropogenic activities on groundwater quality in the Upper Precambrian sedimentary aquifer of northwestern Burkina Faso
A. Sako, J. M. Yaro and O. Bamba
This study investigates the hydrogeochemical and anthropogenic factors that control groundwater quality in an Upper Precambrian sedimentary aquifer in the northwestern Burkina Faso. The raw data and statistical and geochemical modeling results were used to identify the sources of major ions in dug well, private borewell and tap water samples.(...)

Considered by most producers as their coffee and cocoa as it plays a role of cash crop, cowpea constitutes in Burkina Faso an important source of income to satisfy the needs of families in rural environment. It is grown in all agro-ecological area of the country. Despite this advantage, its production is held back by biotic and abiotic constra(...)

Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sediments from the Soubeira Reservoir, a Small-Scale Reservoir in North Central Burkina Faso, West Africa
Souleymane Pélédé, Aboubakar Sako & Ousmane Bamba
Small-scale reservoirs play a central role in socio-economic development of Burkina Faso. In the absence of a best environmental management plan, these reservoirs can be potential factors of water pollution and ecological deterioration. In the present study, we investigated ecological status of sediments from the Soubeira reservoir, using conc(...)

Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the controls on the terrestrial carbon transfer to the atmosphere. However, previous studies were mostly based on site-specific(...)

Kangbéni Dimobe, Dethardt Goetze, Amadé Ouédraogo, Sylvanus Mensah, Koffi Akpagana, Stefan Porembski & Adjima Thiombiano
Vitellaria paradoxa is one of the most economically important trees in West Africa. Although being a key component of most sub-Sahara agroforestry systems, little information and argument exist regarding its biomass and carbon potential. Here, we developed biomass equations for V. paradoxa tree components in Sudanian savannas. A destructive sa(...)
