Extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) are bacterial plasmid or chromosomal enzymes capable of inactivating Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Aztreonam and inactive on Carbapenems. They are encoded by the beta-lactamase genes (bla genes) of the IMP family (Imipenemase), GES (Guyana Extended Spectrum), CTX-M (Cefotaximase – Munich). Bacterial resist(...)

Prevalence of Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica and associated factors among under five children with diarrhea in rural Burkina Faso
Réné Dembélé, Ali Konaté, Issiaka Soulama, Assèta Kagambèga, Wendpoulomdé A.D. Kaboré, Haoua Cissé, Oumar Traoré, Alfred S. Traoré and Nicolas Barro
Salmonella enterica is one of the major enteric pathogen causing diarrhea among children under 5 years worldwide. In rural settings
of Burkina Faso where this infection is strongly associated with the consumption of contaminated food and water, the antimicrobial
resistant patterns of Salmonella circulating in these areas are currently not we(...)

Spatial constraints and drivers of pastoral adaptation to climate change in West African rangelands: A multivariate probit analysis
Idrissa Sawadogo, Philippe Bayen, Faustine Akosso Kouassi, Omonlola Nadine Worou
Abstract
Climate change poses a major challenge for pastoral communities in West African rangelands, where livestock mobility is increasingly constrained by environmental and socio-institutional pressures. This study examines the spatial constraints and socio-economic drivers shaping pastoral adaptation strategies in Burkina F(...)

Interaction Homme-gecko au Burkina Faso
Wendata Francis Dayama, Emmanuel Sawadogo, Joëlle Halamoussa AYORO, Ardjima Lankoande, Sidiki KONATE, Emmanuel M. Hema
Les geckos se sont imposés comme colocataires aux populations humaines du Burkina Faso. La population humaine n’apprécie pas la présence des geckos dans les habitations, et cette situation entraine des plaintes et une méfiance. La présente étude a eu pour objectif de mettre en évidence les interactions entre Hommes et geckos dans les villes de(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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]”.

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(...)

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(...)

Effects of land use changes on Cordyla pinnata (Lepr. ex A. Rich.) Milne-Redh. stand distribution: a multipurpose threatened species in Senegal (West Africa)
Idrissa Sawadogo, Philippe Bayen, Prospère Sabo, Faustine Akossoua Kouassi, Omonlola Nadine Worou
Cordyla pinnata is a multipurpose forage species that plays important ecological and socio-economic roles in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated how different land use types affect the species’ population structure and distribution in Senegal. Forest inventories were conducted in 140 plots across four land use types: farmland, fallow, rangelan(...)

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(...)

Urban and peri-urban forests are vital nature-based climate solutions in urban centers undergoing rapid urbanization and rising temperatures. While their ecological role in carbon sequestration is documented in West Africa, how environmental factors affect aboveground carbon (AGC) storage in peri-urban forests remains poorly understood. This s(...)
