Project description:Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) is a member of cassava mosaic geminiviruses, family Geminiviridae, genus Begomoviruse which causes cassava mosaic disease (CMD). SLCMV is a widespread plant virus in major cassava production area of in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. Cassava cv. Kasetsart 50 (KU50) is one of the most globally famous cultivars in the world which is planted by many Asian countries farmers and industries. A proteomics approach was used to investigate the proteins involved in KU50 leaf response against SLCMV infection. RT-qPCR were applied to validate protein identifications for genes that are differentially expressed.
Project description:Transcriptome profiling of a highly deltamethrin resistant population of Anopheles coluzzi from south-west Burkina Faso against an insecticide susceptible laboratory colony from Mali in 2011.
Project description:Field resistant Anopheles coluzzii were compared to the lab susceptible Anopheles coluzzii N'Gousso. The samples were collected in 2014 in Burkina Faso and show resistance to pyrethroid insecticides.
Project description:Transcriptome profiling of Anopheles coluzzi mosquitoes collected from two sites in south west Burkina Faso (Vallee du Kou & Tengrela) displaying a deltamethrin resistant phenotype. The resistant insects were compared to two laboratory insecticide susceptible strains.
Project description:Comparison of an adult female pyrethroid insecticide resistant population of Anopheles gambiae ss, from Tiefora Burkina Faso, to a lab susceptible An. gambiae ss Kisumu sampled in 2013.
Project description:Genotype data from 55 Fulani individuals from Ziniare, Burkina Faso and 7 Czechs & Slovaks collected in Prague, Czech Republic The data was typed in Illumina Omni2.5-Octo BeadChip.
Project description:In Sub-Saharan Africa, Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) largely contributes to malaria transmission, in direct relation to environmental conditions influencing the vector ecology. Therefore, our study aimed to compare the proteomes of An. gambiae according to varying insecticide pressures associated to cotton crops also integrating different population origins from two climatic regions of Burkina Faso.
Project description:Comparison of a pyrethroid insecticides resistant field population of Anopheles gambiae ss collected in Tiefora, Burkina Faso (2014) compared to a lab susceptible ss Anopheles gambiae Kisumu.
Project description:Surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2017 across the main cassava-growing regions of Burkina Faso to assess the status of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and to determine the virus strains causing the disease, using field observation and phylogenetic analysis. CMD incidence varied between regions and across years but was lowest in Hauts-Bassins (6.0%, 2016 and 5.4%, 2017) and highest in Centre-Sud (18.5%, 2016) and in Boucle du Mouhoun (51.7%, 2017). The lowest CMD severity was found in Est region (2.0) for both years and the highest in Sud-Ouest region (3.3, 2016) and Centre-Sud region (2.8, 2017). The CMD infection was primarily associated with contaminated cuttings in all regions except in Hauts-Bassins, where whitefly-borne infection was higher than cuttings-borne infection in 2016. PCR screening of 687 samples coupled with sequence analysis revealed the presence of African cassava mosaic-like (ACMV-like) viruses and East African cassava mosaic-like (EACMV-like) viruses as single infections at 79.5% and 1.1%, respectively. Co-infections of ACMV-like and EACMV-like viruses were detected in 19.4% of the tested samples. In addition, 86.7% of the samples positive for EACMV-like virus were found to be positive for East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCMV). Phylogenetic analysis revealed the segregation of cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) from Burkina Faso into three clades specific to ACMV, African cassava mosaic Burkina Faso virus (ACMBFV), and EACMCMV, confirming the presence of these viruses. The results of this study show that EACMCMV occurrence may be more prevalent in Burkina Faso than previously thought.
