Status of the domestication of Senna obtusifolia (L.) Irwin and Barneby in some localities of Burkina Faso
Haoua Nacambo*, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Jocelyne Wendpingrenoma Ouangraoua, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Kiswendsida Romaric Nanema, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Domestication of Senna obtusifolia could contribute to strengthening food security, empowering people and improving their living conditions, especially women, through the sale of leaves and seeds. However, very few studies have been devoted to the species in Burkina Faso, and it remains poorly known and still grows in the wild. The present stu(...)

Some Compositional and Microbiological Characteristics of Dried Mangoes Consumed in Chad
Al-lamadine Mahamat,* Abdoullahi Hissein Ousman, Brahim Adoum Ahmat, François Tapsoba, Boureima Kgambega, Mbaigolmem Beral Valery, Bakaranga Via Issakou, Abdelsalam Tidjani
Abstract Mango production is a very important sector for food security and social well-being of the Chadian population. Mango processing in Chad is limited, and diversification of processed products is very important. However, there is a lack of data on the biochemical and microbiological characteristics of the mango varieties used. The aim of(...)

Circulating Serotypes of Group A Rotavirus Identified in the Faeces of Children Aged 0-56 Months with Gastroenteritis
I. Tondé, D. Kambiré, A. Ky-Bad, D.C. Drabo, M. T. Gampiné, J. Tranchot-Diallo, H. Sawadogo, M. Tamboura, M. Kam, M. Sanou, A-S. Ouédraogog, I. Sanou, L. Sangaré, R. Ouédraogo-Traoré.
Gastroenteritis is a public health problem in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. The introduction of the RotaShield rotavirus vaccine in the early 1980s had the side-effect of causing acute intestinal invaginations, which led to the introduction of surveillance. The aim of this study is to review the serotypes of rotavirus identified.(...)

Technological, physico-chemical and microbiological characterization of local plant-based infusions produced in Burkina Faso
François Tapsoba, Tiodjio Rosine Edwige Somé, Boureima Kagambèga, Sylvain S. Rouamba, Bakary Tarnagda, Cheikna Zongo and Aly Savadogo
Nowadays, local plant-based infusions represent the second most consumed drink in the world after water because of their therapeutic virtues. Several types of infusions are produced from different local plants and consumed in Burkina Faso. However, there are few studies on the production technology and quality of these infusions. This study is(...)
