Land‐Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Adama Zoungrana, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Land‐use intensification alters vegetation structure and composition, with potential consequences for pollinator‐dependent ecosystems in tropical regions. However, the distribution and availability of melliferous woody flora across contrasting land use types in West Africa remain poorly studied. This study evaluated melliferous floristic c(...)

ABSTRACT
Context and Objective
SARS‐CoV‐2 is an RNA virus that emerged in Wuhan, China. Adaptive mutations in its genome can influence the virus's pathogenicity, enhance its ability to evade the host immune system, and complicate vaccine development. This study aimed to identify the(...)

Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases in extracellular nucleotide regulation: activity, structural insights, and pathophysiological implications
Radu Adrian Turcitu, Sina Rahimi Dizaji, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Fatemeh Salarpour, Ouitchédé Gilles Danvidé, Alessandra Guedes Manzoni, Romuald Brice Babou Kammoe, Nicolly Espindola Gelsleichter, Abhinav Purohit, Christian Salesse, Jean Sévigny
In this chapter, we review the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase) family, a group of ectonucleotidases that regulate nucleotide signaling by hydrolyzing extracellular nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, and UDP. Among the eight NTPDase members, NTPDase1, -2, -3, and -8 are cell membrane-bound, while NTPDase4, -5, -6, and(...)

P2Y2 Receptor Controls TLR3‐Induced Chemokine Production in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Fariborz Bahrami, Radu Adrian Turcitu, Filip Kukulski, Joanna Lecka, Julie Pelletier, Nicolly Espindola Gelsleichter, Tais Vidal, Jean Sévigny
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and P2 receptors are key regulators of innate immunity. During infection, pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) activate TLRs, whereas extracellular nucleotides engage P2 receptors and influence inflammatory responses. Here, we show that polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly[I:C])‐activated TLR3 and P2Y(...)

Compositional Profile of Honeys from Stingless Bees and Honeybee Honey from a West African Country Using 1H NMR Spectroscopy
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Pierre Noiset, Issa Nombré, Madeleine Héger, Chloé Salmon, Nkoba Kiatoko, Nicolas J. Vereecken
Forest honey is a prime nontimber forest product (NTFP) with the potential to generate income in rural areas across the (sub-)tropics. In the Afrotropics, if beekeeping and honey production from Apis mellifera are under active development, harvesting of stingless bee honey from wild nests is still ongoing, and very little is known about its ch(...)

Taxonomic Study of Five Parasitic Polypores of the Hymenochaetaceae Family of TIN Vegetation in Western Burkina Faso
Andjièrèyir, K.S., Samson, N., Sylvie, N.R., Benovana, B., Edouard, S.K.J., Kounbo, D. and Elise, S.
The aim of this work is to inventory and study the lignicolous parasitic macrofungi of the Tin plant formation. The mycological outings from July to September 2018 and 2019, collected forty-four (44) basidiomes through a random sampling device over an area of 40,000 m2 including 1000 m long by 40 m2 wide. The standard methods and techniques us(...)

Influence of climatic factors and floristic diversity on the foraging activity of Apis mellifera adansonii
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Sambo Ouédraogo, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Nicolas J. Vereecken
Abstract The foraging activities of pollinators depend on a variety of factors, such as the availability of pollen and nectar resources or the seasonality. We performed measurements on the activity patterns of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille by focusing on different factors: (i) we counted the number of bees entering the hives during 10 min(...)

La réussite des trois luttes en matière de protection de l’environnement, menées depuis la révolution burkinabè, ne deviendront un succès que si la conservation de la nature est associée à l’exploitation durable des ressources naturelles. La méliponiculture est considérée comme un secteur d’activités qui pourrait allier conservation de la natu(...)
