Rice bacterial blight resistance in Burkina Faso through genome editing
Soumana Kone, Abdourasmane K. Konaté, Antoine Barro, Eliza Loo, Wolf Frommer, Boris Szurek, Issa Wonni
Bacterial leaf blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), causes yield losses exceeding 50% in affected areas, including the Bagré rice plain in Burkina Faso. Genome-edited (GE'd) rice lines have been successful in tackling BB. Modifications in the Xoo virulence protein target site upstream of three SWEET susceptibility genes(...)

Land conflicts and insecurity of land transactions in the commune of dédougou (Burkina Faso)
TENGUERI Yacouba, KARAMBIRI Souleymane, SIRI Yamba
Context: Land conflicts constitute one of the most persistent and destabilising issues in the Sahelian context. In Burkina Faso, the difficult articulation between customary law and modern law, combined with demographic pressure and population displacement caused by insecurity, generates recurring tensions over land. Methodology: Drawing upon(...)

Drivers of tree species diversity and aboveground carbon stocks in smallholder agroforestry systems in Laikipia East, Central Kenya
Catherine Muthuri · Shem Kuyah ·Kangbéni Dimobe · Denis Wakaba
Agroforestry is highly valued for its role in carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement, yet empirical knowledge on how tree diversity and carbon stocks relate to environmental, farm-level, and household factors remain limited. This study combined whole-farm tree inventories and household surveys across 55 farms in Laikipia East Sub-Co(...)

Dengue in Zorgho, Burkina Faso: Exploring Popular Knowledge and Community Engagement through a Socio-Anthropological Study
Huguette Douô Tyenou, Lea Pare, Toé, Yacouba Tengueri
Introduction: Since 2013, Burkina Faso has faced recurrent dengue epidemics, and the 2023 outbreak was the largest ever recorded in the country and in Africa. Urban centres are especially affected because of rapid urban growth, social inequalities, and limited health services. Official prevention efforts often align poorly with the ways commun(...)

Background
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe, widespread, tick-borne viral zoonotic infection. It is caused by an orthonairovirus that is transmitted by ticks. Sero-epidemiological studies in humans and livestock are valuable indicators of viral circulation and infection risk. This study aimed to investig(...)

Modeling current and future distributions of key fodder grasses under climate change in Senegal using Biomod2
Idrissa Sawadogo, Koffi Kouao Jean, Sié Sylvestre Da, Jean Baptiste Dembélé, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, F.X. Kouassi, Philippe Bayen, Omonlola Nadine Worou
Abstract Climate change and increasing human pressure are among the primary factors shaping the distribution of ecological niches for forage species in rangelands. This study investigates the impact of climate change on both current and future geographic distributions of Zornia glochidiata and Andropogon pseudapricus in Senegal, under two clim(...)

Use patterns and population dynamics of Boscia salicifolia Oliv. in Boussouma, Burkina Faso: implications for sustainable conservation
Sibiri Jean Claude Ramdé, Larba Hubert Balima, Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Adjima Thiombiano
Leafy vegetables play a vital role in food and nutritional security across sub-Saharan Africa, but increasing human pressures threaten their sustainability. This study investigated the ethnobotanical uses, population dynamics, and conservation needs of Boscia salicifolia Oliv. in Boussouma, Burkina Faso. Ethnobotanical data were collected from(...)

Correction: Biotic and abiotic drivers of biomass carbon storage in peri-urban forests in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Henry Kiemtoré, Lassané Nakoulma, Mohamed Cissé, Issouf Zerbo, Adjima Thiombiano
“According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming is likely to exceed 1.5°C between 2030 [2, 3], while the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs estimates that 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050 [4]”.

Testing the ecological apparency hypothesis in Sudano-Sahelian parklands in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Alexis Sompougdou, Benjamin Lankoandé, Zomizi Frank Calixte Coulibaly, Philippe Bayen, Jules Bayala
Agroforestry, by integrating trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, serves as an effective nature-based solution for strengthening climate resilience and food security. While its adoption has received increasing research attention in West Africa, the relationships between plants’ apparency and local importance remain poorly understood. Th(...)

Local perceptions of degraded soils (“Zippela”) and factors influencing the adoption of agroecological practices for land restoration in Burkina Faso
Nongbila Eugène BALMA, Philippe Bayen, Larba Hubert Balima, Anne Mette Lykke, Adjima Thiombiano
Introduction Land degradation is a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, driven by unsustainable farming practices, population pressure, and climate variability. In Burkina Faso, zippelé refers to bare, crusted, and compacted soils with low organic matter and extremely low productivity. This study examined local perceptions of zippelé in the(...)
