The centre of origin of Bambara groundnut (BGN; Vigna subterranea L.) is Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its high nutritional value and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
this neglected and underutilised species has recently gained significant attention. However, BGN production faces several challenges, including a lack of quality v(...)

Screening of Cowpea Mutants (Vigna unguiculata) for Resistance to Aphids (Aphis craccivora) in Burkina Faso
Karidiatou Gnankambary, Teyouié Benoit J Batieno, Zakaria Dieni, Pingawindé Sawadogo, K Issaka Sam, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Jean-Baptiste Tignégré, Jeremy Tinga Ouédraogo
The cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch.) is a significant pest of cowpea crops, causing considerable damage to seed production. To identify cowpea genotypes resistant to aphids and demonstrating strong agronomic performance, fourth generation genotypes (M4) derived from the cowpea variety Tiligré, which was irradiated with 150 Gy of gamma rad(...)

Refining malaria diagnosis in high-transmission areas: a dual-approach with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and dbPCR-NALFIA
Diane Yirgnur Some, Francois Kiemde, Hermann Sorgho, Marc Christian Tahita, Antonia Windkouni Bere, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo, Souleymane Vivien Banao, Kouadjo Bagre, Gérémie Djiri, Georges Some, Toussaint Rouamba, Yeri Esther Hien, Aly Savadogo, Henk D. F. H. Schallig and Halidou Tinto
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an essential tool in managing febrile illnesses in endemic set- tings. However, persisting parasite antigen after treatment or spontaneous remission, which can be detected by histi- dine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based RDT or Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH)-based RDTs, could lead to misd(...)

SCREENING OF MUNG BEAN GENOTYPES [VIGNA RADIATA (L.) WILCZEK] FOR RESISTANCE TO MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA (TASSI) GOID'
Adjima Ouoba,; Romain W Soalla,; Tchidjolbe Fatime Dagou,; Felicien S. Zida, ; Nerbewende Sawadogo
Mung bean is a legume widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. Its
introduction in Burkina Faso is of great interest for the food and nutritional security of the
population. However, the development of its cultivation could be hampered by a number of biotic
constraints, including fungal diseases caused by Macro(...)

Background: Inflammation, this physiological process, is a natural defense mechanism that plays an essential role in tissue repair. However, if not properly regulated, inflammation can contribute to the development of chronic conditions, including cancer. Inflammatory diseases represent a major public health concern due to their significant im(...)

Socio-cultural Factors Affecting Traditional Knowledge and the Cultural Significance of the Aromatic and Medicinal Plant, Boswellia dalzielii Hutch., in Burkina Faso
Sabo P., Tiétiambou F.R.S., Guindé H.T., Salako K.V., Johnson S., DeCarlo A., Mensah S., Glèlè-Kakaï R., Ouédraogo A.
The medicinal plant Boswellia dalzielii is well known and widely used by local communities in West Africa. However, detailed information about this knowledge and its distribution among local people remains poorly documented. We assessed traditional knowledge (TK) regarding the use of B. dalzielii in communities in Burkina Faso. We conducted 16(...)

Issoufou Tao, Daniel Candotti, Tampoupila Edwige Yelemkoure, Albert T Yonli, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Cyrille Bisseye, Florencia W Djigma, Dorcas Obiri-Yeboah, Jacques Simpore
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes about 900 deaths per year in Burkina Faso. In the absence of a vaccine, HCV infection remains a major public health problem. In addition to prevention efforts, an important strategy in the fight against HCV is therapy. Knowledge of the different genotypes circulating can allow for better treatment tai(...)

Introduction : considéré comme une analyse biologique simple et même basique par nombre de pro-fessionnels du laboratoire au Burkina Faso, le groupage sanguin ABO/RhD n’était pourtant pas bien réalisé selon une étude nationale déjà en 2011. La présente étude vise à mesurer l’ampleur des erreurs de groupages sanguins ABO /RhD chez les patients(...)

Background Aims: The leading mammary cancer in Burkina Faso, breast cancer has a variety of origins. In fact, an alteration
in the MAP3K14 [GenBank: NC_000017.11, ID: 9020] and CD40 [GenBank: NC_000020.11, ID: 958] genes can lead to the
development of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to highlight the possible involvement of the polym(...)

Background: Cervix cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in many developing countries, and most commonly the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Most often, this infection does not lead to injury or cancer - there is viral clearance. We therefore proposed to study the polymorphism of certain genes such as KIR, which(...)
