Bayesian modeling of the effect of vaccination and the delta and omicron variants on the Covid-19 epidemic in Burkina Faso using poisson log-linear autoregressive model
Introduction: Since its emergence in Burkina Faso in March 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has undergone several shifts in its trajectory. These fluctuations have been influenced by government control measures, socio-economic dynamics, and biological mutations of the virus. However, the individual impacts of these factors remain insufficiently assessed, and the detailed history of the outbreak is not fully understood. This study aims to objectively e…
Assessing heat exposure and its effects on farmer health, harvest yields, and nutrition
Rising temperatures in Africa present an increasing threat to agricultural productivity and public health, particularly among subsistence farming communities reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Heat exposure can impair farmers' work capacity, disrupt harvests, and heighten health risks, especially for young children vulnerable to undernutrition. The Heat to Harvest (H2H) study investigates how environmental heat exposure influences farmers' physiolo…

The Impact of Rainfall Variability on Diets and Undernutrition of Young Children in Rural Burkina Faso
Background: Climate change and consequent increases in rainfall variability may have negative consequences for the food production of subsistence farmers in West Africa with adverse impacts on nutrition and health. We explored the pathway from rainfall through diet up to child undernutrition for rural Burkina Faso. Methods: The study used data of a dynamic cohort with 1,439 children aged 7–60 months from the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveilla…
Community acceptance of environmental larviciding against malaria with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis in rural Burkina Faso – A knowledge, attitudes and practices study
BACKGROUND: Malaria control is based on early treatment of cases and on vector control. The current measures for malaria vector control in Africa are mainly based on long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and to a much smaller extent on indoor residual spraying (IRS). While bed net use is widely distributed and its role is intensively researched, Bti-based larviciding is a relatively novel tool in Africa. In this study, we analyze the perception …
Biological larviciding against malaria vector mosquitoes with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) – Long term observations and assessment of repeatability during an additional intervention year o…
spp. mosquito abundance was reduced by 77.4% (full treatment) and 63.5% (guided treatment) compared to the baseline year. The results showed that malaria vector abundance can be dramatically reduced using biological larviciding and that this effect can be achieved and maintained over several consecutive transmission seasons
A qualitative study of community perception and acceptance of biological larviciding for malaria mosquito control in rural Burkina Faso
This study showed that larviciding interventions received positive resonance from the population. People showed a willingness to be involved and financially support the program. The positive environment with high acceptance for larviciding programs would facilitate routine implementation. An essential factor for the future success of such programs would be inclusion in regional or national malaria control guidelines
Association between junk food consumption and fast-food outlet access near school among Quebec secondary-school children
Objective We investigated the association between junk food consumption at lunchtime (JCL) and fast-food outlet access near school among secondary-school children in Quebec. Design A geographic information system database was used to characterize the food environment around a sub-sample of 374 public schools in which 26 655 students were enrolled. The outcome variable was JCL during the previous week, dichotomized into low JCL (none or once) v . …
Challenges of implementing a large scale larviciding campaign against malaria in rural Burkina Faso – lessons learned and recommendations derived from the Emira project
Our observations highlight important components and strategies that should be taken into account when planning and running a similar larviciding program against malaria in a resource limited setting. A strong local partnership, meticulous planning with the possibility of ad-hoc adaption of project components and a reliable source of funding turned out to be crucial factors to successfully accomplish such a project

BACKGROUND: Malaria control is based on early treatment of cases and on vector control. The current measures for malaria vector control in Africa are mainly based on long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and to a much smaller extent on indoor residual spraying (IRS). A third pillar in the fight against the malaria vector, larval source management (LSM), has virtually not been used in Africa since the ban of DDT in the 1960s. Within the li…
