We look at the link between climate change and vector-borne diseases in low- and middle-income countries in Africa. The large endemicity and escalating threat of diseases such as malaria and arboviral diseases, intensified by climate change, disproportionately affects vulnerable communities globally. We highlight the urgency of prioritizing research and development, advocating for robust scientific inquiry to promote adaptation strategies, and the vital role that the next generation of African research leaders will play in addressing these challenges.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Aim Of The Study: Determine the anatomical variants of the celiac trunk and describe it in its modal form using a scanner.
Patients: In total, 200 patients were included in this study.
Material And Methods: The study was carried out using a multi-detector scanner (SIEMENS Somatom Emotion Excel Edition, 16 bars).
is a major but threatened economic plant collected as a leafy vegetable and fruit in West Africa. How the species withstands coppicing as an agricultural management practice was investigated in this research. Three seedling vigor classes (10-25 mm, 25-30 mm, 30-40 mm) and two coppicing heights (20 and 40 cm) were compared to controls in eight replicates using a randomized complete block design.

Material And Method: A 51-year-old patient in whom an abdominal CT scan was performed as part of the exploration of a cystic left renal mass objectified on ultrasound.
Results: A celiomesenteric trunk with two left renal arteries and a duplication of the left pyelon were found.
