The West African vegetation zones from the Sahara desert to the Guinean rainforests are shaped by a steep latitudinal precipitation gradient. Their taxonomical and functional composition changes considerably along this gradient. Based on comprehensive distribution data from herbariun collections and relevés this paper presents modelled distrib(...)

Insecticide resistance in Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) and Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) could compromise the sustainability of malaria vector control strategies in West Africa
Olivier Gnankiné , Imael H.N. Bassolé , Fabrice Chandre , Isabelle Glitho , Martin Akogbeto , Roch K. Dabiré , Thibaud Martin
Insecticides from the organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid (PY) chemical families, have respectively, been in use for 50 and 30 years in West Africa, mainly against agricultural pests, but also against vectors of human disease. The selection pressure, with practically the same molecules year after year (mainly cotton), has caused insecticide re(...)

Bioactive molecules from bacteria strains: case of bacteriocins producing bacteria isolated from foods
Essodolom TAALE, Aly SAVADOGO, Cheickna ZONGO, Andre J ILBOUDO and Alfred STRAORE
21 bacteria strains were isolated from traditional fermented food (Soumbala, Bikalga, indigenous yoghurt and fermented milk) using microbiology standard methods. Morphological and biochemistry analyses were done. Nine strains were selected as presumed belonging to lactic acid bacteria (LAB).These strains were characterized at species level by(...)

Based on a fine review of bat literature in Burkina Faso, we identified the south-western and southeastern
parts of the country as gap regions where a study that aims to fill gap in bat diversity estimation could
be conducted. In total, 72 sampling sites distributed in 32 localities were surveyed between April 2008 and
September 2009. 407 m(...)
