Use of biopesticides in the perspective of chemical resistance management in Western Africa: The cases of Bemisia tabaci (Homotera: Aleyrodidae) and Anopheles...
Organic pesticides are used against agricultural pests in order to improve yields in Western Africa. Pyrethroid (PY), Organophosphates (OP) and Carbamates (CX) are the chemical pesticides mainly used. Unfortunately, these chemicals continue to select new resistant populations of B. tabaci, a polyphagous whitefly. Indirectly, the chemical resid(...)

Differences in hypertension between informal and formal areas of Ouagadougou, a sub-Saharan African city
B. SOURA
Countries of sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly confronted with hypertension and urbanization is considered to favor its emergence. This study aims to assess the difference in the prevalence of hypertension between formal and informal urban areas of Ouagadougou and to determine the risk factors associated with hypertension in these urban popu(...)

Comparative evaluation of carbosulfan‐ and permethrin‐impregnated curtains for preventing house‐entry by the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Burkina Faso
A. BADOLO
Pyrethroid‐impregnated bednets and curtains are widely employed to reduce the risk of malaria transmission, but pyrethroid‐resistance is becoming more prevalent among malaria vector Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). As an alternative treatment for curtains, we assessed carbosulfan (a carbamate insecticide) in comparison with permethri(...)

A 24-bp duplication in exon 10 of human chitotriosidase gene from the sub-Saharan to the Mediterranean area: role of parasitic diseases and environmental conditio...
K. SIMPORE
Human chitotriosidase (Chit) is a member of the chitinase family and it is synthesized by activated macrophages. Recently, a genetic polymorphism was found to be responsible for the common deficiency in Chit activity, frequently encountered in different populations. We analyzed the Chit gene in some ethnic groups from the Mediterranean and Afr(...)

Endosymbiont metacommunities, mtDNA diversity and the evolution of the Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species complex
Bemisia tabaci, an invasive pest that causes crop damage worldwide, is a highly differentiated species complex, divided into biotypes that have mainly been defined based on mitochondrial DNA sequences. Although endosymbionts can potentially induce population differentiation, specialization and indirect selection on mtDNA, studies have largely(...)

Epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of black African subject's resistant hypertension
N. YAMEOGO
INTRODUCTION: Few studies in sub-Saharan Africa were interested in resistant hypertension. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of resistant hypertension in hypertensive black African population, and to describe its clinical and therapeutic features. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From May 1, 2010 to May 31, 2012, we included co(...)

Do natural methods count? Underreporting of natural contraception in urban Burkina Faso
B. SOURA
Natural methods of contraception were widely used in developed countries until the late 1960s to space and limit childbirth. In France, when the first contraceptive surveys were conducted, researchers noticed that the use of natural methods was underreported, and questions to correct for this bias were subsequently added. The Demographic and H(...)

Regulation of the Na+‐K+(NH)‐2Cl− cotransporter of rat submandibular glands
E. KABRE
A cellular suspension from rat submandibular glands was exposed to different concentrations of NH4Cl, and the variations of the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca2+] i) and the intracellular pH (pHi) were measured using fura‐2 and 2′, 7′‐bis‐(2‐carboxy‐ethyl)‐5 (6)‐carboxyfluorescein. More than 5 mmol/l NH4Cl significantly increased t(...)

Population structure of three woody species in four ethnic domains of the sub‐sahel of Burkina Faso
A. THIOMBIANO
In developing countries many people depend on woody resources for their livelihoods. Monitoring human impact on the populations of socio‐economically important species is therefore important for the conservation of vulnerable plants. In order to assess and compare the population structure and regeneration patterns of three multipurpose species(...)

Nutrition rehabilitation of HIV-infected and HIV-negative undernourished children utilizing spirulina
K. SIMPORE
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of an alimentary integrator composed of spirulina (Spirulina platensis; SP), produced at the Centre Médical St Camille of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the nutritional status of undernourished HIV-infected and HIV-negative children. We compared two groups of children: 84 were HIV-infected an(...)

Development of an allele-specific, loop-mediated, isothermal amplification method (AS-LAMP) to detect the L1014F kdr-w mutation in Anopheles gambiae sl
A. BADOLO
Malaria control relies heavily on treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying with pyrethroid insecticides. Unfortunately, the resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, mainly due to the kdr mutation, is spreading in the main malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sl, decreasing the insecticides' efficacy. To manage the insecticide resistance rapidly(...)

Abundance of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and its parasitoids on vegetables and cassava plants in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a pest of many agricultural and ornamental crops worldwide and particularly in Africa. It is a complex of cryptic species, which is extremely polyphagous with hundreds of host plants identified around the world. Previous surveys in western Africa indicated the presence of two biotypes of the invasive MED species(...)

Utilisations, état des peuplements et régénération de cinq espèces ligneuses utilitaires dans l’est du Burkina Faso
A. OUEDRAOGO
La raréfaction des espèces à importance économique et les besoins croissants en produits végétaux constituent de nos jours des facteurs d'aggravation de la pression sur les espèces utilitaires. L'exploitation abusive est la cause majeure de la destruction de nombreuses espèces végétales (Ozenda 1982). Dans les conditions climatiques précaires(...)

Le paludisme congénital maladie à Plasmodium falciparum: aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques, biologiques, thérapeutiques et pronostiques à Ouagadougou, Bur...
K. NAGALO
Conclusion La prévalence du paludisme congénital maladie est élevée dans notre Unité et les facteurs de risque de la maladie sont difficiles à cerner. Parce que les symptômes ne sont pas spécifiques, la recherche de Plasmodium doit être systématique chez tout nouveau-né malade en zone d'endémie palustre.
