Kadidiatou Coulibaly & Aboubakar Sako
A total of 30 topsoil, subsoil samples, and 11 new and used cupels were collected around a Pb fusion fire-assay laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and their physico-chemical parameters and major and potentially toxic (PTE) element concentrations were determined. The results showed that the soil samples in the immediate vicinity of the us(...)

Oumar TRAORÉ, Dissinviel Stéphane KPODA, Adama Patrice SOUBEIGA, Rokiatou Henry SANGARÉ, Abraham AJAYI, Casimir OUÉDRAOGO, Maxime Koiné DRABO, Elie KABRÉ and Lassana SANGARÉ
Syphilis remains a global health problem. In Burkina Faso, cases of syphilis are still prevalent despite concerted effort in the fight against sexually transmitted infections. The availability of Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay in the diagnosis of syphilis has not eliminated the challenges encountered in the diagnosis of syphilis in(...)

Genetic and Kinetic Profiles of Bacterial Resistance Enzymes to IMP and NDM Type Antibiotics in Gramnegative Pathogenic Bacilli
Lionel Eliada Benoit Bambara, Amana Metuor Dabire, Oumar Traore, Yasmine Tiemtore, Theodora Zohoncon and Jacques Simpore
Introduction: Enterobacteria are among the most frequent isolated strains in hospitalized patients. Currently, carbapenems have a broad spectrum of activity and are considered to be the last resort for the treatment of nosocomial infections. However, overuse of these valuable compounds has led to a rapid increase in antimicrobial resistance. T(...)

Impact of land use and illegal human activities on the spatio-temporal distribution of Loxodonta africana (Cuvier, 1825) during the dry season in Arly National Park in Burkina Faso
Emmanuel Sawadogo, Harouna Sandwidi, Emmanuel M. Hema
This study aimed to determine the impact of land use and illegal activities on elephant distributions in 2003, 2015, and 2021. Geospatial data inclusion satellite images of different characteristics were used as well as aerial count of animals along linear transects of varying widths. Using ArcMap 10.8, we laid grilles of 100 km2 covering the(...)

Agro-morphological characterization of selected varieties of vegetable cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in Burkina Faso
Antoine Barro, Benoît Joseph Batieno, Joseph NANAMA, Zinmanké COULIBALY, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Vegetable Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is one of the neglected legumes in Burkina Faso, and as a result, its genetic diversity remains poorly known. The main aim of this study was to know its genetic variability through an agro-morphological characterization. Twenty vegetable cowpea varieties were evaluated at the Kamboinsé Environmental, Agricu(...)

Potential impact of climate change on spatial distribution of two savannah amphibian species in West Africa
Joëlle Halamoussa Ayoro, Violaine Nicolas, Gabriel Hoinsoudé Segniagbeto, Emmanuel Midibahaye Hema, Annemarie Ohler, Gustave Boureima Kabré
Abstract Climate change affects biodiversity, notably by modifying species habitats. In the West African savannahs, amphibian species are widespread. Despite their importance in ecosystems, little is known about the potential impacts of future climate change on these amphibians, hence the need to study the future distribution patterns of West(...)

Hydrogeochemical characterization and natural background level determination of selected inorganic substances in groundwater from a semi‑confined aquifer in Midwestern Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubakar Sako and Cheik Abba Cissé Ouangaré
Hydrogeochemical processes that govern selected inorganic substances distribution in a
semi-confined aquifer were characterized using traditional hydrogeochemical approaches and natural background levels (NBLs). Saturation indices and bivariate plots were used to investigate the effects of water–rock interactions on natural evolution of the g(...)

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a frequent reason for consultation and lead to a significant and sometimes inappropriate prescription of antibiotics. The latter favors antibiotic resistance and an increase in mortality as well as the cost of treatment. The present study aims to contribute to the fight against antibiotic resista(...)
