Morphological differences among individuals in a species represent one of the most striking aspects of biology, and a primary aim of modern genetics is to uncover the molecular basis of morphological variation. In a survey of meiosis phenotypes among environmental isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we observed an unusual arrangement of meiotic spores within the spore sac in a strain from Ivo...

Most of the countries within the West African sub-region are emergent nations which, for a long time, have been grouped among the Less Developed Countries of the world. Due to the low level of development, these countries have generally considered economic growth, social and educational development and industrialization as key development priorities, while protection of the environment has not ...

Home-work commuting has always attracted significant research attention because of its impact on human mobility. One of the key assumptions in this domain of study is the universal uniformity of commute times. However, a true comparison of commute patterns has often been hindered by the intrinsic differences in data collection methods, which make observation from different countries potentially...

Facing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, education system of Ivory Coast has initiated media as a response to school closure. That teaching approach is based on traditional such radio and television one hand, new technologies communication information computer internet in other hand. Considering advantages an emergency device, this study shows that it proved be relevant educational alternative conv...

The total dietary fiber, sugar, protein, lipid profile, sodium, and energy contents of 11 raw cashew kernel (Anacardium occidentale L.) samples from India, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mozambique, and Vietnam were determined. Total fat was the major component accounting for 48.3% of the total weight, of which 79.7% were unsaturated FA (fatty acids), 20.1% saturated FA, and 0.2% trans FA. Protein...

OBJECTIVE To review the geography and history of sleeping sickness (Human African trypanosomiasis; HAT) over the past 100 years in West Africa, to identify priority areas for sleeping sickness surveillance and areas where HAT no longer seems active. METHOD History and geography of HAT were summarized based on a review of old reports and recent publications and on recent results obtained from ...

Data are reported on the genetic structure of three Onchocerca volvulus populations, respectively from Mali (savanna), Ivory Coast (forest), and Zaire (forest gallery in savanna). Electrophoretic analysis, carried out on 25 gene-enzyme systems, has shown a remarkable genetic heterogeneity existing within O.volvulus. Zaire and West Africa populations appear chiefly differentiated at Mdh-1 and 6P...
