Abstract Malaria transmission-blocking vaccines (TBVs) target the development of Plasmodium parasites within mosquito, with aim preventing malaria transmission from one infected individual to another. Different vaccine platforms, mainly protein-in-adjuvant formulations delivering leading candidate antigens, have been developed independently and reported varied activities (TBA). Here, recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus 63, ChAd63 modified vaccinia virus Ankara, MVA, expressing AgAPN1,...
The evaluation of transmission reducing interventions (TRI) to control malaria widely uses membrane feeding assays. In such assays, the intensity Plasmodium infection in vector might affect measured efficacy candidates block transmission. Gametocyte density host blood is a determinant success mosquito, however, uncertain estimates parasite densities and intrinsic characteristics infected can induce variability. To reduce this variation, feasible method dilute infectious samples. We describe...
Toxoplasmosis is one of the common worldwide parasitic zoonosis due to Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). during pregnancy can result in fetal and neonatal death or various congenital defects. The aim this study was assess seroprevalence risk factors T. infection pregnant women following antenatal care (ANC) services at Bobo Dioulasso. A cross-sectional conducted enrolling a sample 316 attending ANC centers for maternal child health Bobo-Dioulasso town from March 2013 February 2014. Data on...
Assessing customer satisfaction with a product or service is one technique for evaluating the quality of given by company. One instruments used to gauge survey. The Clinical Biology Laboratory Centre Muraz employed this method determine how satisfied its test prescribers were improve. This was cross-sectional study that took place in Bobo-Dioulasso from November 18 December 26, 2022. Following literature review, questionnaire twenty-three (23) questions created. distributed laboratory's...
Background After two decades of mass drug administration (MDA) for schistosomiasis in Burkina Faso, an impact assessment was conducted 16 health districts (HDs) between February 2023 to March 2024 determine the epidemiological situation school-aged children and facilitate decision sub-district level treatment decision. Methodology/Principal findings A cross-sectional cluster survey with randomly selected aged 5–14 years. Haemastix reagent strips were used detect microhaematuria urine, urine...
Malaria during pregnancy remains a serious public health problem. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and possible risk factors for malaria in pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at two primary facilities Bobo-Dioulasso.We conducted cross sectional from September December 2010 located periurban area Bobo-Dioulasso. Pregnant (ANC) were included after signing informed consent. For each participant, social-demographic profile, obstetric histories investigated through...
Abstract Background The question whether Plasmodium falciparum infection affects the fitness of mosquito vectors remains open. A hurdle for resolving this is lack appropriate control, non-infected mosquitoes that can be compared to infected ones. It was shown recently heating P. gametocyte-infected blood before feeding by malaria inhibits infection. Therefore, same source could divided in two parts, one heated, serving as other unheated, allowing comparison and uninfected which fed on...
Background: A severe outbreak of dengue occurred in Burkina Faso 2016, with the main cases reported Ouagadougou, which highlights necessity to implement vector surveillance system. This study aims estimate risk arboviruses transmission and insecticide susceptibility status potential vectors four sites Faso. Methods: From June September house-to-house cross sectional entomological surveys were performed cities stretching along a southwest-to-northeast railway transect. The household analyzed...
Gastrointestinal parasites infections are widespread in Africa and their prevalence vary from country to country. This study aimed at assessing the of opportunistic intestinal infection other gastrointestinal among patients attending laboratory Parasitology Mycology University Hospital Souro Sanou Bobo-Dioulasso. A hospital cross-sectional based was conducted April August, 2012. Participants were persons whom parasitological examination stools has been prescribed by a clinician. The methods...
Because of the limited access to more powerful diagnostic tools, there is a paucity data regarding burden fungal infections in Burkina Faso. The aim this study was estimate incidence and prevalence serious sub-Saharan country. We primarily used national demographic performed PubMed search retrieve all published papers on from Faso its surrounding West African countries. Considering HIV infection (0.8% population) 3.4% cryptococcosis hospitals, it estimated that 459 patients per year develop...
Unraveling selective forces that shape vector-parasite interactions has critical implications for malaria control. However, it remains unclear whether Plasmodium infection induces a fitness cost to their natural mosquito vectors. Moreover, environmental conditions are known affect outcome and may impact the effect of on fitness. We investigated in laboratory effects exposition by field isolates falciparum fecundity survival major vector field, Anopheles coluzzii under different access sugar...
Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Although schistosomiasis is well documented school-aged children Burkina Faso, prevalence data among preschool-aged (PSAC) are limited and outdated, its risk factors this group remain poorly documented. The main objective of study was to assess the associated with Schistosoma (S.) mansoni infection PSAC from Panamasso village, western Faso.A cross-sectional carried out 228 under 6 years old village. Sociodemographic...
Abstract Background This study reports an updated description on malaria vector diversity, behaviour, insecticide resistance and transmission in the Diébougou Dano peri-urban areas, Burkina Faso. Methods Mosquitoes were caught monthly using CDC light traps pyrethrum spray catches. identified morphological taxonomic keys. PCR techniques used to identify species of Anopheles gambiae complex mechanisms a subset vectors. The Plasmodium sporozoite infection status origins blood meals female...
Abstract Background Burkina Faso experienced an epidemic resurgence of dengue in 2016, which led to the implementation several control strategies. In order allow a better adaptation these strategies, we studied spatio-temporal distribution dengue. Methods Monthly cases from 2016 2019, aggregated at health district level, were used map crude incidence, excess risk, and smoothed incidence with GeoDa software. A Kulldoff scan on Satscan software was then identify clustering cases. Results The...
Because infections with Schistosoma Haematobium usually peak in childhood, the majority of studies on schistosomiasis have focused school-aged children. This study aimed to assess epidemiological and clinical aspects urogenital women Burkina Faso, West Africa. A cross-sectional was conducted a mesoendemic region (Kombissiri) hyperendemic (Dori) for Faso. total 287 females aged 5 50 years were included study. S. haematobium infection assessed using urine filtration method dipsticks used...
Dengue is now a major health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the influence of local meteorological factors on incidence dengue an important element for better prediction and control this disease. This study aims to assess impact transmission central region Burkina Faso. We analyzed lagged effects weekly from 2017 2019 Faso using General Additive Model. The results show that maximum minimum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed have significant non-linear effect cases with...
Despite the implementation of different strategies to fight against malaria in Burkina Faso since 2005, it remains today leading cause hospitalization and death. Adapting interventions spatial temporal distribution could help reduce this burden. This study aims determine structure stability hotspots Faso, with objective adapting at small geographical scales. Data on cases from 2013 2020 were acquired municipalities level. Municipality-wise endemicity levels mapped through information system...
The major arboviruses belong mainly to the families Bunyaviridae, Togaviridae, and Flaviviridae amongst which chikungunya virus dengue have emerged as a global public health problem. main objective of study was develop specific, sensitive, cost-effective molecular multiplex RT-PCR RT-qPCR assay for rapid simultaneous detection CHIKV four serotypes DENV arbovirus surveillance.
