Climate-Driven Shifts in the Geographic Distribution of Fodder Trees in West AfricaʼS Grazing Landscapes
Idrissa Sawadogo, Philippe Bayen, Larba Hubert Balima, Charles Lamoussa Sanou, F.X. Kouassi, Omonlola Nadine Worou
West African pastures host several valuable fodder tree species which are essential for livestock rearing. Among these, Cordyla pinnata and Boscia senegalensis play a particularly significant role in the region’s landscape, providing both food products and high-quality fodder for livestock. However, these species face an increase anthropogenic(...)

Characteristics and socioeconomic performance of neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) production systems in Burkina Faso_
Quanli Wang, Eric Brako Dompreh , Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma, Miyuki Iiyama, Kangbéni Dimobe, Mohammad Naushad Emmambux , Mame Samba Mbaye, Adjima Thiombiano and Alexandros Gasparatos
Agricultural systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are often characterized by low agrodiversity and high vulnerability to climate change, both of which can compromise food security and livelihoods. Many neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) are known for their nutritional value and climate resilience, presenting a potential solution to(...)

Objectives
Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a major global health threat. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) have been crucial for spreading resistance to new bacterial species, including human pathogens. Understanding how MGEs promote resistance could be essential for prevention. Here we present an investigation of MGEs a(...)

Des plantations ivoiriennes aux forêts libériennes : dynamiques migratoires des Burkinabè, entre itinéraires, acteurs et réseaux
Yamba SIRI
La migration des Burkinabè en Afrique de l’Ouest est un phénomène ancien, notamment celle vers la
Côte d’Ivoire où elle a fortement contribué à l’économie de plantation et connaît actuellement une extension
spatiale vers de nouvelles zones agricoles. Aujourd’hui, cette migration présente de nouvelles dynamiques par

Assessment of Integrated Water Resources Management and Environmental Services for Water Users in the Massili Basin (Burkina Faso, West Africa)
YAMBA SIRI
Since the 1970s, the Sudano-Sahelian zone has been characterized by climate change, which has
intensified pressure on existing water resources and exacerbated water quality problems, water shortages,
famine, deforestation, and desertification. The chronic droughts recorded in the early 1970s led some
countries, such as Burkina Faso, to put(...)

Coexistence of imipenemase (IMP) and verona integron-encoded metallo beta-lactamase (VIM) ingram-negative bacterial clinical isolates from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Amana Metuor-Dabiré, Damis Y. P. Bouniounou, Nicolas Ouédraogo, Rahimatou Y. Tiemtoré, Serge Sougué, Rose P. Bonkoungou, Jacques Simporé.
INTRODUCTION: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella oxytoca are among the most frequently isolated pathogens implicated in human disease in Burkina Faso. In addition, the emergence of carbapenem-resistant E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and K. oxytoca due to the production of IMP and VIM enzymes and the spread of these bacteria is a(...)

Molecular Analysis of Xa4 and xa5 Resistance Genes Involved in the Response to Bacterial Lieaf Blight in Conventional Rice Lines in Burkina Faso
Soumana Kone, Abdourasmane K. Konaté, Antoine Barro, Issa Wonni
Rice is a staple crop in Burkina Faso, but its production is threatened by bacterial leaf blight, which caused yield losses of up to 50% between 1998 and 2004. To address this issue, new rice varieties have been developed through crosses with IRBB lines carrying multiple resistance genes, particularly Xa genes. This study aimed to identify the(...)

Comparative susceptibility of wild and laboratory-reared Aedes and Anopheles larvae to ivermectin
Ouédraogo COW, Somé AF, Sagna AB, Sougué E, Soma SS, N'Diaye M, Coulibaly FH, Pooda SH, Zela L, Roberge C, Niang EHA, Mouline K, Dabiré KR
Administering ivermectin to humans and livestock renders their blood toxic for mosquitoes like Anopheles and Aedes, offering a promising approach for controlling these vectors. However, the impact of such treatment on larval stages exposed to the drug through contaminated breeding sites is not fully understood. This study looked at how ivermec(...)

Abstract: Women's insecure land tenure makes it difficult for them to contribute to
achieving food security in their households, even though they are the backbone of the
household. This study examines the structural obstacles to women's access to
agricultural resources in the village of Souri, Burkina Faso, considering the interaction(...)
