Assessment of the flora of Burkina Faso
A. OUEDRAOGO
Sixteen years after the last comprehensive checklist of Burkina Faso, about 30% more species have become known for the country's flora. Many of these are documented in the herbarium collections of the University of Ouagadougou (OUA) and the Herbarium Senckenbergianum (FR). Nevertheless some regions and habitat types are still incompletely samp(...)

Dynamics of the invasive Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) Mediterranean (MED) species in two West African countries
Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is a major pest on cotton and vegetable plants in Africa. It is considered as a cryptic species complex. Identification of the most damaging species such as the Middle East–Asia Minor 1 (B biotype) and Mediterranean (MED)(which contains the Q and Africa silverleaf (ASL) biotypes) species represents an important step to(...)

Infective endocarditis in sub-Saharan African children, cross-sectional study about 19 cases in Ouagadougou at Burkina Faso
N. YAMEOGO
INTRODUCTION: Infective endocarditis is a transplant of a microorganism on a most often injured endocardium. It is rare in children. This work aimed to determine the frequency of endocarditis of the child, to describe clinical presentation, data from echocardiography, microbiological profile and clinical course. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From May(...)

Plasmodium species occurrence, temporal distribution and interaction in a child-aged population in rural Burkina Faso
A. GNEME
Malaria can be caused by five Plasmodium species. Due to their higher prevalence, much of the research concentrates on Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. In Burkina Faso, where P. falciparum co-exists with Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale, there is not much data about the prevalence of the latter two species across human popul(...)

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(...)

Pulmonary embolism mimicking acute anterior myocardial infarction: diagnostic trap
N. YAMEOGO
Pulmonary embolism remains the major malingerer of acute chest disease. The clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations may deviate to a diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We report a case of bilateral pulmonary embolism in a patient of 50 years. The electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in anteroseptal and lateral leads. The diagnosis o(...)

Atrial fibrillation, frequency, etiologic factors, evolution and treatment in a cardiology department in Dakar, Senegal
N. YAMEOGO
Conclusion La fibrillation atriale est fréquente en milieu hospitalier africain et concerne des sujets relativement jeunes. L'hypertension artérielle et les valvulopathies rhumatismales sont les principaux facteurs étiologiques. Le traitement reste essentiellement médicamenteux par contrôle de la fréquence cardiaque.

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(...)

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(...)

Detection of G119S ace-1 R mutation in field-collected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes using allele-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (AS-LAMP) met...
A. BADOLO
Malaria vectors have developed resistance to the four families of insecticides available for public health purposes. For example, the kdr mutation is associated with organochlorines and pyrethroids resistance. It is of particular concern that organophosphate and carbamate resistance associated with the G119S ace-1 R mutation has recently incre(...)
