Does Jatropha curcas L. show resistance to drought in the Sahelian zone of West Africa? A case study from Burkina Faso
Philippe Bayen, Tene Kwetche Sop, Anne Mette Lykke, Adjima Thiombiano
Abstract. Land degradation is an environmental problem which weakens agro-sylvo-pastoral productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. The most common manifestation of land degradation is the appearance of denuded land. We carried out an experiment to test the effect of three soil and water conservation techniques on survival and growth of Jatropha curc(...)

First detection of bla TEM, SHV and CTX-M among Gram negative bacilli exhibiting extended spectrum β- lactamase phenotype isolated at University Hospital Center Yalgado Ouedraogo, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
K. J. Zongo, A. Metuor Dabire, L. G. Compaore, I. Sanou, L. Sangare, J.Simpore, B. Zeba
Resistance to a wide variety of common antimicrobials is observed among clinical strains designed as extended spectrum β-lactmase (ESBL) producers. They produce enzymatic protein which inactivates efficiently oxyimino cephalosporin and constitutes a serious global health concern that has complicated treatment strategies. Many studies report hi(...)

Obstetric Fistula "Disease" and Ensuing Care: Patients' Views in West-Africa.
Nathalie Maulet, Abdramane Berthé, Salamatou Traoré, Jean Macq
We explored obstetric fistula patients' real-life experience of care in modern Health System. Our aim was to analyze how these women's views impacted their care uptake and coping. We conducted 67 in-depth interviews with 35 fistula patients or former patients in 5 fistula repair centers within referral hospitals in Mali and Niger. Perceptions(...)

The use of biomass production and allometric models to estimate carbon sequestration of Jatropha curcas L. plantations in western Burkina Faso
Philippe Bayen, Fidèle Bognounou, Anne Mette Lykke, Makido Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano
The topic of carbon sequestration in plants has received much attention recently due to concerns about global climate change, which is being exacerbated by deforestation. In the early days of the global bioenergy boom, the private sector and non-government organizations enthusiastically promoted the planting of Jatropha curcas L. as a key cand(...)

Contrasting impacts of grass species on nitrogen cycling in a grazed Sudanian savanna
Lambiénou Yé, Luc Abbadie, Gérard Bardoux, Jean‐Christophe Lata, Hassan Bismarck Nacro, Dominique Massé, Henri De Parseval, Sébastien Barot
We investigated the impact of perennial and annuals grass species on nitrogen cycling in a Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso. We also analysed how the local context in terms of grazing and soil properties modifies these impacts. We selected four plots differing both by the intensity of grazing by cattle and soil depth, and used soil and grass b(...)
