Prevalence and genetic diversity of polymorphisms in , and genes of in southern Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: has developed resistance to almost all the antimalarial drugs currently in use. This resistance has been and remains one of the greatest threats to the control and elimination of malaria. The use of molecular markers of resistance to monitor the emergence and spread of antimalarial drug-resistant parasite strains has proved highly effective.

Diversity of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from the Bark of Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn., (Bombacaceae) and Antibacterial Potential of Secalonic Acid A Produced by Diaporthe searlei EC 321.

The objective of this study was to study the diversity of endophytic fungi isolated from Ceiba pentandra and to isolate their bioactive chemical compounds. The methodology used during this study consisted in isolating endophytic fungi from the bark of C. pentandra on Potato Agar.

Microbiological and Physicochemical Variations during Spontaneous Fermentation of Plantain Must.

Major losses are recorded every year in the plantain production sector in Côte d'Ivoire. These losses are mainly due to poor harvesting, transport, and storage conditions. Local processing of this food crop into other products could help limit postharvest losses.

Libido-sexual disorders and abandonment of injectable contraceptives among users of the Ivorian Association for Family Well-Being in Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire.

Introduction: The recent introduction of modern contraceptive methods in resource-limited countries is confronted with the occurrence of undesirable effects that hinder their use in the long term. This study conducted among the users of the Ivorian Association for Family Well-Being in Korhogo describes the libido-sexual problems associated with the discontinuation of injectable contraceptives in former users. The objective of the study was to identify the factors that led to the abandonment of injectable contraceptives among female users of the Ivorian Association for Family Well-Being in Korhogo between 2018 and 2019.

Performance of rabbit does and weaned kits fed a granulated diet supplemented with or fodders.

Rabbit production is increasing in developing countries and can play a crucial role in the fight against poverty. The current work assessed the effect on rabbit does' reproduction and young kits' growth when either , common name Guinea grass, or , common name Beggarweed is included in their diet. Diets ReC and GrC (standard granulated diets) served as control diets, formulated for doe production and kit owth respectively.

Microbiological and Physicochemical Characterization of Irrigation Water in Market Gardening in Korhogo.

Several sources of water are used by farmers without concern for quality, which can have consequences on the health of the consumer of market garden products. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical qualities of irrigation water. Microorganisms were counted using the membrane filtration and incorporation into the agar methods.

Genetic Variants Assessing Crohn's Disease Pattern in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients by a Clinical Exome Survey.

Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are complex, multifactorial disorders that comprise Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Recent discoveries have brought much attention to the genetic predisposition of patients with IBD. Here we evaluate the interaction between IBD genetic risk factors susceptibility and CD occurrence in an IBD pediatric patient population, performing a clinical exome survey.

Microbiological and Physicochemical Characteristics of Three Types of "Soumbara" from Seeds of African Locust Bean in Korhogo Markets, Côte d'Ivoire.

"Soumbara" is a fermented product sold in the markets of several West African countries. In the markets, it is sold in several formats (granulated, powder, and paste). The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of these three types of "Soumbara" sold in the Korhogo markets.

The Thai Red Cross protocol experience in Côte d'Ivoire.

Rabies is a public health problem in the world especially in Côte d'Ivoire. The epidemiological surveillance of rabies revealed 10,197 exposures with 17 deaths in 2015 and 11,481 exposures with 18 deaths in 2016. The management of exposed people was based on WHO's intramuscular (IM) protocols (Essen and Zagreb).

Fungal Variation during Peanut Paste Storage.

Peanut paste produced in multipurpose mills is very often the site of choice for fungal contaminants that pose a major risk to consumers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of fungal contamination of peanut paste produced according to different moulding processes during storage. Thirty samples of peanut paste were produced from 60 kg of peanut pods according to three types of moulding (domestic moulding, artisanal moulding, and hygienic moulding) and then preserved for three months.

Assessment on overall efficiency of urban greywater treatment by vermifiltration in hot climate: enhanced pollutants removal.

Vermifiltration technology using could be an alternative low-cost option for the treatment of urban greywater, which is highly polluted with high concentrations of surfactants, sodium and cooking oil. In this study, the effects of these pollutants on performance of a vermifiltration system was tested over a period of 6 to 8 weeks by enriching raw greywater with various concentrations of anionic surfactants (0, 15, 45 and 135 mg/L), sodium (0, 1, 2 and 4 g/L) and refined palm cooking oil (0, 250 and 500 mg/L). The vermifilter system was made of gravel, sand and sawdust layers from the bottom to the top, on which 200 earthworms were added.

Towards a re-emergence of chloroquine sensitivity in Côte d'Ivoire?

Background: Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to anti-malarial drugs has hampered efforts to eradicate malaria. Recent reports of a decline in the prevalence of chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum in several countries, including Malawi and Zambia, is raising the hope of reintroducing chloroquine in the near future, ideally in combination with another anti-malarial drug for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria.
