Abstract Background Outbreaks of dengue fever caused by viruses transmitted Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are repeated occurrences in West Africa. In recent years, Burkina Faso has experienced major outbreaks, most notably 2016 and 2017 when 80% cases were recorded Ouagadougou City (Central Health Region). order to better understand the ecology this vector provide information for use developing control measures, a study on characteristics container breeding sites productivity such sites, as...
Since 2000, Burkina Faso has experienced regular dengue cases and outbreaks, making an increasingly important health concern for the country. Previous studies in reported that resistance of Aedes aegypti to pyrethroid insecticides was associated with F1534C V1016I kdr mutations. The current study reports high Ae. populations insecticides, likely supported by mutations voltage-gated sodium channel, here evidenced genotyping SNPs V410L, F1534C. We also describe a new multiplex PCR-based...
Background Since 2013, Burkina Faso has experienced regular dengue outbreaks, especially in Ouagadougou, the capital city, and Bobo-Dioulasso. Insufficient knowledge of disease some daily practices attitudes human population may contribute to proliferation vector subsequently transmission. The objective this study was assess levels its primary vector, Aedes aegypti, elucidate behavioural environmental factors associated with species. Methods A cross-sectional Knowledge, Attitude, Practice...
Recent dengue outbreaks have occurred in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, the two major cities of Burkina Faso. Dengue is a viral disease transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti , highly anthropophilic mosquito that thrives human-transformed environments breeds predominantly artificial containers. In 2018, we investigated resting blood-feeding habits Ae. urban settings Ouagadougou. 3-month cross-sectional study starting August indoors outdoors adult mosquitoes were collected using Prokopack...
