Hydrogeochemical processes controlling groundwater quality around Bomboré gold mineralized zone, Central Burkina Faso
Aboubakar Sako, Ousmane Bamba and Aridjima Gordio
This study investigates the processes that control dug well and borewell water chemistry in crystalline basement aquifers in semi-arid environment. Changes in SO4 2− and NO3 −were observed in both dugwell and borewell samples. Six dug wells and seven borewells had high NO3− concentrations relative to SO4 2− suggesting prevailing oxidizing redo(...)

Identification of Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers Linked to Cowpea Resistance to Cowpea Aphid Borne Mosaic Virus (CABMV) in Burkina Faso
Barro Antoine1*, Tignegre Jean Baptiste De La Salle2, Kiebre Zakaria1, Drabo Issa3 and Sawadogo Mahamadou1
Cowpea is rich in proteins and contains essential amino acids. It is used for
nutrition. For the producers, it is an important source of incomes. Cowpea is mainly
grown for its grains, its leaves, its young pods. However several viral diseases
attack cowpea. The most dangerous one is yellow mosaic transmitted by aphids or
Cowpea Aphid Born(...)

Occurrence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Aerococcus and Enterococcus Strains Isolated from Acute and Chronic Cellulites of Dental Origin in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Kaboré WAD, Ali Konaté, Réné Dembelé, K Konaté, B. Faye, Dieu‐Donné Ouedraogo, Sylvie Boisramé, Traoré AS, Nicolas Barro, Lassana Sangaré
Cellulites of dental origin are extensive polymicrobial infections of the face and neck cell-adipose tissues. Management of infections of this nature presents significant challenges. The key to this is the identification of the causative organisms and determination of their susceptibility to antibiotics. Enterococcus and Aerococcus are pathoge(...)

Success of three soil restoration techniques on seedling survival and growth of three plant species in the Sahel of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Philippe Bayen, Anne Mette Lykke, Adjima Thiombiano
In the Sahel of Africa, where 90 % of the population depends on natural resources for their livelihood, a large part of the soils are structurally unstable, prone to crusting and hard setting, and have low water holding capacity, which hamper vegetation establishment. The effect of soil restoration techniques on survival and growth of seedling(...)
