Abstract Background The spread of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.s. is a critical issue for malaria vector control based on the use insecticide-treated nets. Carbamates and organophosphates insecticides are regarded as alternatives or supplements to pyrethroids used nets treatment. It is, therefore, essential investigate susceptibility resistant populations An. these alternative products. Methods In September 2004, cross sectional survey was conducted six localities Côte...
Côte d'Ivoire is the world's leading cocoa producer, annually generating over 1,500,000 metric tons of Theobroma cacao beans. Growth this agri-business has led to extensive deforestation in d'Ivoire, where majority country's forest (excluding that Tai National Park) exists as small, fragmented islands. Most these blocks are designated national parks or reserves, i.e., protected areas (PAs), but wildlife within d'Ivoire's PAs increasingly threatened by two illegal activities: hunting and full...
The growing development of pyrethroid resistance constitutes a serious threat to malaria control programmes and if measures are not taken in time, may compromise efforts the foreseeable future. Prior Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) distribution Eastern Cote d'Ivoire, we conducted bioassays inform National Malaria Control Programme status main vector, Anopheles gambiae s. need for close surveillance resistance.Larvae An. were collected two areas Adzopé (Port-Bouët Tsassodji) reared...
Abstract We identified the extent to which ant diversity occurs despite conversion of forests into cocoa plantations by examining communities across four age classes (classes I–IV with increasing from 0–5 21–40 years) and in their original forests. An extensive sampling protocol consisting pitfall trapping, leaf litter sampling, soil hand was used characterize species richness composition three replicates each class remaining forest patches. A total one hundred found all habitats combined....
Abstract Oryctes monoceros is a serious coconut pest, causing up to 40% damage in tropical Africa. Synthetic aggregation pheromone, ethyl 4-methyloctanoate, has been used lure adults traps. Traps with pheromone plus decaying palm material captured high proportion of males. This raises the question whether individuals, which palms are receptive pheromone. We studied sex ratio insects feeding on coconuts and those attracted Sixty two percent from galleries living were females. Pheromone...
Abstract We reinvestigated the anuran amphibian fauna of Lamto region in Central, Côte d'Ivoire, 40 years after this was assessed for first time. During period, lost about 90% forest cover, resulting an overall change from a to savanna-dominated landscape. Surprisingly, species richness and composition changed only little. did not observe six previously recorded area but added two more. A total are now known savanna/forest mosaic Lamto. Unfortunately, due methodological differences,...
To improve the knowledge of non-volant mammal diversity and conservation prospects in Dodo Coastal Forest (DCF) southwestern Côte d’Ivoire, we conducted reconnaissance surveys interviews, deployed remote cameras. We calculated visual encounter rates (vER) sign ER (sER) mammalian taxa hunting signs, mapped their locations tested hypothesis that sightings signs primates occurred closer to river near gallery forest. sighted nine taxa, including threatened King Colobus (Endangered, EN), Olive...
Abstract Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have played an important role in reducing the global malaria burden since 2000. They are a core prevention tool used widely by people at risk of malaria. The Vector Control Prequalification mechanism Word Health Organization (WHO-Vector PQ) established testing and evaluation guidelines for LLINs before registration public use. In present study, two new brands deltamethrin-impregnated (Yahe ® LN Panda Net 2.0) were evaluated...
Abstract Amphibian species are known to carry endoparasitic mites. The infestation probability, prevalence, and intensity of mites vary among habitats. Mites the genus Endotrombicula infest African Malagasy frogs. However, factors leading an increase in probability mite unknown. To test for inter‐ intraspecific differences its potential correlation with sex, age, habitat preferences, and/or season within a species‐rich West leaf‐litter frog assemblage, we examined more than 6,800 individual...
Abstract In the tropical forest‐savannah mosaic of Lamto Reserve in Ivory Coast ants play an important role biodiversity conservation. This work aimed to explore structure and composition arboreal ant assemblages a located central Côte d'Ivoire. Ants were collected by baited trap (Protein bait: tuna sugar sweet milk) beating low vegetation. During entire sampling campaign, 59 species belonging 18 genera five subfamilies (Formicinae, Ponerinae, Myrmicinae, Dolichoderinae Pseudomyrmecinae)...
L\'insecte (Oryctes monoceros (Coleoptera, Dynastidae) est connu pour ses dégâts importants sur les cultures de cocotiers et palmiers à huile en Côte d\'Ivoire. Pour connaître périodes d\'activité cet insecte, une étude a été menée pendant 7 jours des individus adultes issus pièges, vieux stipes vivants. Les insectes collectés ont mis dans carafes transparentes contenant rafles palmier nourris avec la canne sucre. Le dénombrement activité tentatives d\'envol, accouplements alimentation) fait...
Aims: The aims of this study were to determine diversity and community structure benthic insects in fish farm ponds. Study Design: Monthly samplings have been conducted from December 2007 November 2008 five farms (Layo, Banco, Azaguie, Anyama I II) southern Cote d’Ivoire. In each farm, sediments collected three ponds using a van Veen grab. pond, environmental variables such as transparency, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen conductivity measured situ. Methodology: Samples taken six...
To highlight the continuous cultivation of soil on biodiversity in savannas Korhogo north Cote d’Ivoire, termites were studied with regard to their use as bio-indicators habitat change tropics. Using a standardized method, sampled five types plots (PCR 1, PCR 2, 3, 10 and 30) which age varies from 1 30 years comparison primary savanna. The diversity has differed statistically between types. species richness highest savanna (24 species), decreases progressively reach lowest elderly cultures...
Une etude a ete menee dans 5 fermes piscicoles du sud de la Cote d’Ivoire en vue contribuer connaissance des Chironomidae. L’echantillonnage effectue tous les mois Decembre 2007 Novembre 2008. Dans chaque ferme, 3 etangs ont choisi au hasard. etang, 6 echantillons sediment preleves l’aide d’une benne Van Veen. Les variables environnementales telles que transparence, temperature, le pH, l’oxygene dissouset conductivite mesurees in situ. six melanges pour constituer un seul echantillon etang....
Un inventaire des oiseaux utilisés dans la pharmacopée traditionnelle chez le peuple Gouro a été mené 19 villages de région Marahoué, au centre Ouest Côte d’Ivoire durant cinq mois, d’août à décembre 2010 et 15 février 2012 avril 2013. Cette étude basée sur les enquêtes auprès populations locales pu identifier 44 espèces d’oiseaux utilisées médecine 238 reconnues par ce peuple. Dans cette liste identifié Bycanistes cylindricus qui statut d’espèce quasi menacée rouge l’UICN. Sur 17...
