Abstract Insects are known for their harmful effects. However, they also benefit humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. Its beneficial uses include entomophagy entomotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of insect extracts against Gram-negative bacteria. Antibacterial activities thirteen crude medicinal insects were tested twelve bacteria by diffusion on agar. Imipenem was used as an antibiotic positive control. The acted differently certain largest inhibition...
In West Africa, Aedes aegypti remains the major vector of dengue virus. Since 2013, fever has been reemerging in Burkina Faso with annual outbreaks, thus becoming a public health problem. Its control relies on control, which is unfortunately facing problem insecticide resistance. At time this study, although data phenotypic resistance were available, information related to metabolic populations from remained very scarce. Here, we assessed and Ae. sampled two main urban areas (Ouagadougou...
Some insects are harmful to humans, plants and animals, but some of them can also be a source proteins, fats, vitamins minerals therapeutic value. The potential requires that medicinal their derived products need scrutinized. This study highlights the indigenous knowledge related use in peri-urban urban areas Burkina Faso.The survey was carried out among 60 traditional healers spread across two phytogeographical zones Faso. questionnaire focused on used by experienced healers. Chi-square...
Abstract The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a pest of many agricultural and ornamental crops worldwide particularly in Africa. It complex cryptic species, which extremely polyphagous with hundreds host plants identified around the world. Previous surveys western Africa indicated presence two biotypes invasive MED species ( ‐Q1 ‐Q3) living sympatry African SSA ASL . This situation constitutes one rare cases local coexistence various genetic entities within B. complex. In order to study dynamics...
Callosobruchus maculatus is the main pest of stored cowpeas in West Africa. To control this pest, chemicals are frequently used during post-harvest storage. In study we assessed insecticide resistance C. populations collected from Burkina Faso, Senegal and Niger. Enzyme analysis was also performed to detect basic mechanisms underlying resistance. Faso western strains proved be more resistant cypermethrin (RR50 = 25–26.6) have moderate permethrin 10.5-13) Pirimiphos-methyl 8–11). The...
Introduction Malaria and dengue are two main vector-borne infectious diseases transmitted by Anopheles gambiae Aedes aegypti , respectively, in tropical subtropical regions. The concern for environmental safety the increasing development of resistance to chemical arthropod vectors raises interest search botanicals such as essential oils (EOs) that can be used vector control. Methods Larvicidal bioassays were performed according WHO standard methods using Ae. An. larvae collected from...
The persistence of malaria and the increasing resistance Anopheles gambiae species to chemicals remain major public health concerns in sub-Saharan Africa. Faced these concerns, search for alternative vector control strategies as use essential oils (EOs) need be implemented. Here, five EOs from Cymbopogon citratus, nardus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Lippia multiflora, Ocimum americanum obtained by hydro distillation were tested according World Health Organization procedures on An. "Kisumu"...
Abstract Dengue vector control strategies are mostly based on chemicals use against Aedes aegypti populations. The current study aimed at investigating the insecticidal effects of essential oils (EOs) obtained from five plant species, Cymbopogon citrates (D. C.) Stapf. (Poaceae), nardus (Linn.) Rendle Eucalyptus camaldulensis Linn. (Myrtaceae), Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae), and Ocimum americanum Lamiaceae, combinations Ae. populations Bobo-Dioulasso. For this purpose, adults...
Abstract Forensic entomology focused sarcosaprophagous insects and arthropods may provide a sound tool for assessment of Post Mortem Interval (PMI) could scientific evidence date deaths. However, few data on necrophagous insect are available in many western African countries. The current study Necrobia rufipes , an known to be appear highly decomposed skeletonized corpses mammals. Our research aimed at examining some biological parameters N. pig rabbit used as substrate under ambient...
Abstract Using chemical insecticides is the main way to prevent and manage dengue malaria, two mosquito-borne diseases. However, vectors of these diseases have developed resistance insecticides. Essential oils (EOs) could be used as alternatives because besides their larvicidal adulticidal properties, they repellent properties. In Burkina Faso, studies on properties essential mosquitoes remained limited. The EOs extracted from five plants ( Cymbopogon citratus , nardus Eucalyptus...

Abstract In Burkina Faso, products and insect nests are used for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. However, this use by local populations is marginal empirical. Our study aimed at evaluating the antimicrobial activity of their nests. For purpose, collected were finely ground. Hydroethanolic extraction bioactive molecules with potential antibacterial was performed according to standard methods. The solid medium diffusion method test hydroethanolic extracts honey bee, bee wax,...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity insect extracts against Gram-negative bacteria. Antibacterial activities thirteen crude medicinal insects were tested twelve bacteria by diffusion agar. Imipenem used as antibiotic positive control. Extract yields varied among species. All...
Abstract Background Insects and their products are used to treat various pathologies, particularly in traditional medicine. This treatment is performed empirically. Currently, the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms growing exponentially. To deal with this situation, it essential find other sources bioactive molecules. The objective study was evaluate antibacterial activity aqueous extracts medicinal insects against Gram-positive bacteria. A total thirteen at different stages...
Abstract Forensic entomology is a science that studies insects and other arthropods in relation to forensic investigations. This study aimed examine the presence of on pig rabbit carcasses buried at two different depths, 100 50 cm, respectively, along nine sampling dates establish an insect succession database cadavers north sudanian zone Burkina Faso. In addition, we investigated whether environmental parameters influence both decomposition corpses abundance insects. Nine pigs rabbits were...
Abstract Forensic entomology is used in criminal investigations for post-mortem dating of cadavers. The aims this study was to evaluate the endogenous knowledge necrophagous insects six target groups workers two climatic zones Burkina Faso their application investigations. survey conducted among 223 informants splited four cities and eight villages belonging Sudano-Sahelian Sudanian zones. on from exhumed exposed corpses air.
