Konan1,2, Eliézer K. N’Goran1,2 and Jürg Utzinger3,4* Abstract Background: To achieve a world free of schistosomiasis, the objective is to scale up control and elimination efforts in all endemic countries. Where interruption of transmission is considered feasible, countries are encouraged to implement a comprehensive intervention package, including preventive chemotherapy, information, education and communication (IEC), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and snail control. In northern and central Côte d’Ivoire, transmission of Schistosoma haematobium is seasonal and elimination might be achieved. In a cluster-randomised trial, we will assess different treatment schemes to interrupt S. haematobium transmission and control soil-transmitted helminthiasis over a 3-year period. We will compare the impact of (i) arm A: annual mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel and albendazole before the peak schistosomiasis transmission season; (ii) arm B: annual MDA after the peak schistosomiasis transmission season; (iii) arm C: two yearly treatments before and after peak schistosomiasis transmission; and (iv) arm D: annual MDA before peak schistosomiasis transmission, coupled with chemical snail control using niclosamide.

European Scientific Journal, ESJ, 17(1), 295. https://doi.org/10.19044/esj.2021.v17n1p295 Resume La médecine traditionnelle est menacée et tend à être négligée à cause de l’introduction de la médecine moderne dans la société africaine. A cette menace, s’ajoutent les imposteurs qui ont infiltrés le domaine. Et pourtant, la médecine traditionnelle n’a pas encore fini de faire ces preuves. C’est ce que nous découvrons avec le traitement des entorses et fractures. Ainsi, cette étude socio-anthropologique qualitative s’est-elle assigné de réaliser un suivi rapproché des activités des « nankarigabélés » traumatologues traditionnels du peuple Sénoufo au nord de la Côte d’Ivoire. Elle vise à évaluer l’importance qualitative, l’efficacité et les insuffisances des mécanismes utilisés par celle- ci dans le traitement des entorses et fractures. La méthode d’étude est basée sur une approche qualitative ayant consisté en l’administration d’un guide d’entretiens semi-dirigés et l’observation directe. Elle s’est déroulée du 06 juillet au 25 septembre 2020 dans la Direction Régionale de la Santé de Korhogo précisément dans 8 villages où habitent un sous-groupe des Sénoufos, les forgerons « fodonnons » et qui sont réputées dans la prise en charge thérapeutique des victimes d’entorses ou fractures.

This study was conducted to evaluate the technical efficiency of cashew farms in Côte d’Ivoire. The technical efficiency of producers was measured using the Data Envelopment Analysis approach, and the determinants of this efficiency were identified using a TOBIT model. Data were collected in 4 regions: GBEKE, HAMBOL, PORO and WORODOUGOU. In the four regions studied, the average technical efficiency is 49.2% in Variable Scale Efficiency (VRS) and 38.3% in Constant Return to Scale (CRS). Based on our results, the producers in the study area were not efficient. The producers who follow the good practices, have a technical coefficient estimated at 74.2%, and superior to those who follow the good practices, of which, the coefficient is estimated at 70.2%, in Variable Scale Efficiency (VRS).

    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 8 ~ Issue 11 (2020)pp: 34-45 ISSN(Online):2321-9467 www.questjournals.org ResearchPaper Analysis of the state of poverty of artisanal fishermen in the region of Poro (northernIvoryCoast) KOUDOU Dogbo Department of Geography, Peleforo GON COULIBALY University (Korhogo, Ivory Coast) Laboratory:Coastal, Sea, Health,FoodSafety and Transport (LIMERSSAT) E-mail :[email protected] ABSTRACT:Various small fishing communities exploit the fishery resources of the region of Poro in northern Côte d'Ivoire for commercial purposes. However wherever they are established, their existence is marked by their apparent vulnerability. The aim of this contribution is to analyse the poverty level of fishermen exploiting the fishing resources of the region of Poro by studying some characteristics of their living conditions. To do so, this contribution is based on documentary research and a field survey. The article concludes that fishermen have low average monthly monetary incomes. 77.4% of the fishermen surveyed are not connected to the public electricity network and 88.7% to the public drinking water service. Their homes are mostly made of rudimentary materials. KEYWORDS: Ivory Coast, artisanal fishermen, poverty, precariousness, Vulnerability Received 26October, 2020;Accepted06November, 2020 © The author(s) 2020. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org I. INTRODUCTION Artisanal freshwater fisheries have lower estimated overall catches than coastal marine artisanal fisheries, but employ a slightly larger total overall labour force (production and post-production) than marine fisheries [11]. In the Ivorian context, this activity is also an essential component of the fisheries sector.

Maitre de conférences Université Alassane Ouattara (Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire) E-mail : [email protected] Résumé La présente étude examine l’évolution de la pluviométrie et son effet sur la riziculture dans la Région du Poro. Elle prend en compte l’évolution des rendements du riz local et les perceptions locales face aux perturbations pluviométriques. Après une analyse chronologique par décennie (de 1971 à 2010), l’étude a révélé, d’une part, une insuffisance légère et une diminution du volume pluviométrique au fil des ans lors du cycle cultural du riz. D’autre part, elle a permis de constater un raccourcissement de la saison humide, passant de cinq mois à quatre mois, en quarante ans. Ces perturbations pluviométriques provoquent une baisse des rendements rizicoles pendant la période de l’analyse. Quant aux perceptions paysannes, l’on a pu constater une adéquation avec la tendance évolutive de la pluviométrie. Cependant, une différence significative est observée dans les perceptions suivant les localités. Dans chacune des localités, ces perceptions sont presqu’invariantes selon le type de riziculture. Mots-clés : riziculture, perturbations pluviométriques, perceptions locales, Région du Poro, Côte d’Ivoire. Abstract This study examines the evolution of rainfall and its effect on rice production in the Poro Region.

Six species have been identified: Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Boophilus annulatus, Boophilus geigyi, Hyalomma truncatum and Rhipicephalus senegalensis. Cattle were more infested by these ticks excluding Rhipicephalus senegalensis, which had a higher prevalence in sheep (12.5% in sheep versus 4.17% in cattle).
