- Abstract
On May 30th and 31st, 2023, delegates representing various African subregions, together with global representatives from the International Society of Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM), the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM), the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Global Action for Fungal Infections (GAFFI), convened in Nairobi, Kenya under the aegis of the Pan African Mycology Working Group, a working group of ISHAM. The meeting objectives were, amongst others, to deliberate on a continental response to the World Health Organisation Fungal Priority Pathogen List and facilitate interaction between global and regional leaders. Country delegates and international speakers addressed Africa's fungal disease burden; capacity for diagnosis and management; ongoing surveillance; knowledge gaps and trends in invasive fungal diseases such as Candida auris , mucormycosis, aspergillosis, and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-related mycoses; and current laboratory practice. During the technical sessions, expert panels deliberated on establishing and financing of national/regional surveillance networks for mycoses; establishing and sustaining African-led collaborations; expanding on existing laboratory and point-of-care diagnostic capacity as well as planning a mycology reference laboratory service and network in Africa. The meeting also highlighted successful African-led collaborations, capacity building, and clinical trial initiatives. The meeting conclusions informed the resolutions of the Nairobi Declaration calling for improved awareness; strong collaborations between clinical and laboratory teams across Africa; improved fungal disease surveillance within the continent; access to antifungals and diagnostics; and leveraging qualified human resources for mycology present within and outside Africa to facilitate trainings, collaborations, and exchanges.

Aims: This research aims at evaluating the effect of salt stress on plant growth, Na+, K+, proline and soluble sugars contents in leaves and roots of local cultivar of African basil in Republic of Benin. Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) having five treatments and three replications. Place and duration of Study: The experiment was carried out in screening house under natural conditions at the Center of Agricultural Research of Agonkanmey, Commune of Abomey-Calavi, Republic of Benin from January to February, 2020. Methodology: Five salt concentrations (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mM) were used to irrigate three weeks old plants for two weeks. After two weeks, plant growth, sodium (Na) and potassium (K), proline, and soluble sugars contents of leaves and roots were determined. Results: Salt stress induced a significant reduction (p = .05) in shoot growth from 60 mM NaCl but had no impact on the number of leaves and shoot water content. Root growth was significantly reduced (p = .05) already at 30 mM NaCl. Leaf and roots Na+, proline and soluble sugars contents significantly increased (p = .05) under salt stress whereas K+ content decreased significantly (p = .05) only in root. Conclusion: Salt stress reduces the growth of African basil plants due mainly to Na+ ion toxicity. The ionic selectivity ratio (K+/Na+) rather than the K+ ion content plays an important role in the response of basil plants to salt stress, while both proline and soluble sugars accumulation may contribute to osmotic adjustment.

In Côte d'Ivoire, the non-alcoholic beverage industry is gradually turning to fruits from local wild species. More and more products from the latter are entering the market. Black plum, fruit ofVitex doniana, very pleasant and rich in bioactive compounds, has been transformed into nectar without the addition of preservatives. As a result, this product remains subject to a possible alteration of its nutritional quality and to reduction of its shelf life. Monitoring of the evolution of certain biochemical parameters of traditional nectar of black plums stored at different temperatures, for three (3) months, was carried out with the aim of highlighting the influence of temperature and storage duration on its nutritional quality but also to be able to determine its best use-by date, in order to guarantee best preservation of nutritional qualities. Black plum nectar used for this work was made from fruits, harvested in three (3) regions of northern Côte d'Ivoire and using a process modeled on traditional technique. Biochemical analyzes was carried out using the classic methods analysis. At the end of this study, we note an increase in acidity and soluble dry extract of traditional nectar linked to the rise in storage temperature. Vitamin C losses are minimal when this storage temperature is low. The longer the shelf life of nectar, the more it registers a decline in its nutritional value. Temperature that allows better nutritional preservation of black plum traditional nectar remains that of refrigeration (4 °C). However, at this temperature, its shelf life cannot exceed ten (10) weeks if you want to enjoy its benefits.

Salt stress is one of the abiotic factors that cause a depressive effect on plants. This work aims to evaluate the effect of salt stress on growth of young plants of 7 cultivars (Adja-ouere, Cote d’Ivoire, Dangbo, Kpinman, Kombara F1, Lanman and Togan) of African eggplant (Solanum macrocarpon) produced in Benin, locally called Gboma, in order to determine their relative salt-resistance levels. Five NaCl concentrations (0; 30; 60; 90 and 120 mM) were applied to 4-weeks old plants for 2 weeks in a completely randomized design with 3 replicates. Results revealed that the 3 root growth parameters evaluated were only significantly affected for one of the 7 cultivars while for the growth parameters of the aerial part, at least 4 cultivars were significantly affected except for leaf number. Thus, growth of aerial part was more sensitive to salt stress than that of root part. Cultivar Dangbo, which did not undergo significant reduction in growth for none of the 9 parameters evaluated, was the most salt resistant. It was followed by Togan which underwent significant growth reduction for only 3 growth parameters and only at the highest NaCl concentrations used. On the other hand, cultivar Kombara F1 which underwent a significant growth reduction from the lowest NaCl concentrations used for 4 of the nine parameters evaluated was the most salt sensitive. It was followed by Lanman, Kpinman and Adja-ouere with respectively 3, 2 and 2 growth parameters significantly reduced at the lowest NaCl concentrations used. Cultivar Cote d’Ivoire showed intermediate behavior. Key words: Plant growth, NaCl, salt resistance, cultivars’ discrimination, Gboma.

The response of three tossa jute cultivars Ordinaire, 5-Doigts and Acc : Sud 2 to salt stress was evaluated at germination and young plant stages. Five NaCl concentrations: 0; 30; 60; 90 and 120 mM NaCl were used. Seeds were submitted to NaCl in petri dishes and germination was checked every day during thirty days in a completely randomized design with four replicates. Four-week old plants were submitted in pots to the same five NaCl concentrations by irrigation every two days for two weeks in screen house. NaCl reduced seed germination rate in all cultivars from day 2 to day 30 and the germination index. At the end of the 30 days, salt stress reduced the final germination percentages with a significant difference among cultivars: cultivar 5-doigts was the least affected than the two other cultivars. Salt effect caused a reduction of young plant growth whatever the growth parameter considered with a significant difference among cultivars. The growth of cultivar Acc:Sud 2 was more affected by salt stress with the lowest salt tolerance index whereas that of cultivar Ordinaire was the least affected with the highest salt tolerance index. Thus, cultivar 5-Doigts appeared as the most resistant to salt stress at germination stage among the three cultivars; whereas cultivar Ordinaire followed by 5-Doigts was the most salt resistant at young plant stage.

Objectifs : La salinité est un facteur abiotique qui influe négativement sur la physiologie et la productivité des plantes. Cette étude vise à évaluer l’effet de différentes concentrations de NaCl sur la germination des semences de trois variétés (Oxylus, Tropica cross et K-K cross) de chou (Brassica oleracea) cultivés au Bénin afin de déterminer leur niveau relatif de résistance à la salinité. Méthodologie et résultats : Les graines des trois variétés ont été soumises à cinq concentrations de NaCl (0, 30, 60, 90 et 120 mM) dans des boites de pétri à raison de quarante graines de chaque variété dans un dispositif complètement randomisés avec quatre répétitions. Le nombre de graines germées a été note tous les jours pendant 10 jours. Les résultats indiquent l’effet du stress salin provoque une diminution significative (p=0,001) de l’indice et du pourcentage final de germination avec une différence significative (p=0,001) entre les variétés. Ainsi, les réductions observées sont plus faibles chez la variété Oxylus (Cabus) comparativement aux deux autres variétés. La variété Oxylus, qui a présenté l’indice de tolerance au sel le plus significativement élevé (ITS=0,982) apparaît comme la plus résistante tandis que Tropica cross, qui a présenté l’indice le plus faible (ITS=0,895), apparaît comme la plus sensible. Conclusion et applications des résultats : Le stress salin réduit la germination, l’indice de germination et le pourcentage final de germination avec une différence de comportement entre les variétés. De plus, il existe une variabilité dans l’indice de tolérance au sel des trois variétés de chou testées. La variété Oxylus apparaît comme la plus résistante à la salinité des trois variétés testées tandis que la variété Tropica cross est la plus sensible. A ce stade, la variété Oxylus peut être conseillée aux producteurs des zones côtières ou affectées par la salinité tandis que les producteurs des autres zones peuvent produire toutes les variétés. English title: Evaluation of the resistance to salinity of three varieties (Brassica oleracea) produced in Benin at germination stage Abstract Objectives: Salinity is an abiotic factor that negatively influences plants physiology and productivity. In this study, salt effect on seed germination was evaluated in three cabbage (Brassica oleracea) varieties grown in Benin in order to determine their relative salt resistance level at germination stage. Methodology and results: Seeds of the three varieties were submitted to five NaCl concentrations of NaCl (0; 30; 60; 90 and 120 mM) in petri dishes filled in completely randomized design with four replications. Seed germination was checked every day during ten days. Salt stress significantly (p=0.001) reduced germination index and percentage of final germination in the three varieties with a significant difference (p=0.001) among them. The reduction of germination index and percentage of final germination was lower for variety Oxylus (Cabus) in comparison with the two other varieties. Moreover, salt tolerance index was significantly variable according to the variety with the highest values for variety Oxylus (0,982) and the weakest values for variety Tropica cross (0,895). Conclusion and applications of the results: Salinity delayed seed germination and reduced the rate of final germination with a significant difference among varieties. Variety Oxylus appeared as the most salt resistant whereas Tropica cross appeared as the salt sensitive. At this stage, variety Oxylus (Cabus) can be recommended to growers in coastal or salinity-affected areas while producers in other areas can produce all the three varieties. Keywords: Brassica spp., germination, salt tolerance index, salt-resistance.

Background In the agenda towards malaria eradication, assessment of both malaria exposure and efficacy of anti-vectorial and therapeutic strategies is a key component of management and the follow-up of field interventions. The simultaneous use of several antigens (Ags) as serological markers has the potential for accurate evaluation of malaria exposure. Here we aimed to measure the longitudinal evolution of the background levels of immunity in an urban setting in confirmed clinical cases of malaria. Methods A retrospective serological cross-sectional study on was carried out using 234 samples taken from 2010 to 2013 in peri-urban sentinel facility of Cote d’Ivoire. Antibody responses to recombinant proteins or BSA-peptides, 8 Plasmodium falciparum (PfAMA1, PfMSP4, PfMSP1, PfEMP1-DBL1α1-PF13, PfLSA1-41, PfLSA3-NR2, PfGLURP and PfCSP), one P. malariae (PmCSP) and one Anopheles gambiae salivary (gSG6-P1) antigens were measured using magnetic bead-based multiplex immunoassay (MBA). Total anti- P. falciparum IgG responses against schizont lysate from african 07/03 strain (adapted to culture) and 3D7 strain was measured by ELISA. Results High prevalence (7–93%) and levels of antibody responses to most of the antigens were evidenced. However, analysis showed only marginal decreasing trend of Ab responses from 2010 to 2013 that did not parallel the reduction of clinical malaria prevalence following the implementation of intervention in this area. There was a significant inverse correlation between Ab responses and parasitaemia (P

Immune response in malaria is associated either with the protection or as a signature of the infection. Differentialimmune response, anti-parasitic and self-reactive responses are important phenomena of the host-parasite interactionregarding the pathology and also a source of epidemiological information relevant for monitoring and malaria control.This thesis aims on the one hand, to target potential epidemiological application of measures antibody responses levels to variations in the intensity of transmission in some sites, and also analyze the contribution of self-reactive antibody répertoire in clinical malaria protection in Ivory Coast. Three sentinel sites (Abobo, Korhogo and Man) weregeographically diverse recruitment object from symptomatic patients. In Abobo, asymptomatic carriers of parasiteschildren were enrolled to investigate the role of self-reactive répertoire and its relationship with clinical protectionfrom malaria.Recombinant proteins or peptides derived from liver or blood stage antigens of Plasmodium was used to measureantibody response and analyze the relationship between the degree of immunity and epidemiological background insentinel sites. Human self-reactive antibody répertoires were analyzed by quantitative immunoblotting (panama blot).The analysis of antibody responses using a multiplex immunoassay has shown that the level of immunity may be adifferential indicator and a risk criterion with respect to the degree of parasitic infection. Thus measures such asreactivity profiles can contribute positively to differential and scalable integrated monitoring measures againstmalaria.Furthermore the second part of our study shows the existence of induction of a self-reactive component in asymptomatic carriage of Plasmodium. The Increase of this self-reactive response was associated with a decrease in total IgG response against 3D7 in asymptomatic carriers. Ours results shown that the reactivity of serum IgG against the proteins bands S6, S10, S11, S12, and S13 of brain extract (of molecular weight between 50-75 kDa) discriminatedifferent transmission sites. These bands could harbor host proteins that could be used as epidemiological markers., Dans le paludisme, la réponse immune peut être analysée à la fois comme associée à la protection ou comme signature de l’infection. L’approche de deux aspects de cette réponse, anti-parasitaire et auto-réactive, phénomènes importants de l’interaction hôte-parasite, sont déterminants pour ce qui concerne la pathologie et représentent également une source d’informations épidémiologiques applicable pour la surveillance et le contrôle du paludisme.Ce travail vise d’une part, à cibler l’application épidémiologique potentielle des mesures des réponses anticorpsantiparasitaires par rapport aux variations de l’intensité de la transmission dans certains sites, et d’autre part analyserla contribution du répertoire anticorps auto-réactifs dans la protection clinique du paludisme en Côte d’ Ivoire.Trois sites sentinelles (Abobo, Korhogo et Man) géographiquement différents ont fait l’objet de recrutement à partir depatients symptomatiques. A Abobo, des enfants porteurs asymptomatiques de parasites ont été enrôlés pour étudier le rôle du répertoire auto-réactif et sa relation avec la protection clinique du paludisme. Un panel d’antigènes des stades pré-érythrocytaire et érythrocytaire du parasite a été utilisé pour mesurer les réponses anticorps et analyser la relation entre le degré d’immunité et le background épidémiologique liés aux mesures de lutte et contrôle sur les sitessentinelles.Une stratégie quantitative de réponse anticorps (panama blot) a permis d’apprécier le répertoire auto-anticorps.L’analyse des réponses Anticorps utilisant un système multiplex ont démontré que le niveau d’immunité peutreprésenter un indicateur différentiel et un critère de risque par rapport au degré d’infection parasitaire. Ainsi lesmesures de tels profils de réactivité peuvent contribuer positivement à un suivi différentiel et évolutif des mesuresintégrées de lutte contre le paludisme.Le second volet de notre étude montre l’existence d’une composante auto-réactive induite au cours de l’infection parPlasmodium associée au portage asymptomatique du paludisme. L’augmentation de cette réponse auto-réactive a étéassociée à une baisse de la réponse IgG totale antiparasitaire 3D7 chez les porteurs asymptomatiques. Cette réponseauto-réactive diminue quand les mesures de luttes et de contrôle du paludisme augmentent. Les réactivités d’IgGsériques contre les bandes de protéines S6, S10, S11, S12, et S13 d’extrait de cerveau (de poids moléculaire comprisentre 50-75 kDa) discriminent les sites de transmission différente. Ces bandes pourraient abriter des protéines de l’hôte qui pourraient être utilisées comme marqueurs épidémiologiques.

A survey was carried out in the general population of the Ivory Coast, West Africa to determine the number of individuals who are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Blood sera (serum samples) were collected from individuals of the ages that would be sexually active, from 15 to 65 years old, in urban and rural areas. The sera were tested for antibodies to HIV, and rates of infection (seroprevalence) were determined. Out of the 1,700 people tested in urban areas, 125 (7.3 percent) were HIV-positive. The rate varied with age and sex. The group with the highest rate of infection was male adults between 35 and 44 years old, with a 16.3 percent infection rate. Out of the 3,199 people tested in rural areas, 159 individuals (4.9 percent) were HIV-positive. The highest rate (10.7 percent) was in men between the ages of 25 and 34 years old. The high seroprevalence in the general population of both urban and rural areas of the Ivory Coast is in agreement with the large numbers of cases of AIDS that are reported by the hospitals in the country. This analysis is important for the planning of prevention programs designed to control the epidemic. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)

- Abstract
Several strains of a new aflatoxigenic species of Aspergillus, A. korhogoensis, were isolated in the course of a screening study involving species from section Flavi found contaminating peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) and peanut paste in the Côte d'Ivoire. Based on examination of four isolates, this new species is described using a polyphasic approach. A concatenated alignment comprised of nine genes (ITS, benA, cmdA, mcm7, amdS, rpb1, preB, ppgA, and preA) was subjected to phylogenetic analysis, and resulted in all four strains being inferred as a distinct clade. Characterization of mating type for each strain revealed A. korhogoensis as a heterothallic species, since three isolates exhibited a singular MAT1-1 locus and one isolate exhibited a singular MAT1-2 locus. Morphological and physiological characterizations were also performed based on their growth on various types of media. Their respective extrolite profiles were characterized using LC/HRMS, and showed that this new species is capable of producing B- and G-aflatoxins, aspergillic acid, cyclopiazonic acid, aflavarins, and asparasones, as well as other metabolites. Altogether, our results confirm the monophyly of A. korhogoensis, and strengthen its position in the A. flavus clade, as the sister taxon of A. parvisclerotigenus.

Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly species of parasite causing malaria in children living in sub-Sahara Africa and constitutes a real problem of public health. Inflammation and immunity are involved in this malaria infection. This present study was undertaken to determine the inflammatory (C reactive protein or CRP, Haptoglobin, Orosomucoid or AGP) and immunity ( IgG, IgA,IgM) proteins markers concentrations in order to evaluate the immunity and inflammatory proteins secretion concentration and their state in children suffering from Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Patients with positive peripheral blood film for Plasmodium falciparum were compared with subjects without malaria. Giemsa-stained thick blood films were analysed by microscope for plasmodium specie. Haemoglobin and proteins were determined respectively using haematology cell counter and Radial immunodiffusion according to Mancini. Forty seven patients with malaria infection (Plasmodium falciparum) (M/F: 25/22; age 9.7±0.27 yr) and 35 controls (M/F:19/16; age 9.5 ± 0.39 yr) were studied. CRP, AGP, Haptoglobin for inflammatory state and immunoglobins (G, A, M) for immunological markers were determined in malaria children and compared with those of healthy subjects. Results showed that, CRP, AGP and IgM were increased in malaria children for those having high parasite density (exceeding 2000 parasites/ul ) as compared to controls (p

International audience; Introduction: Malaria is a deadly parasitic infection in its severe form. It is caused by an endoparasite protozoan transmitted by a mosquito vector. Despite considerable efforts to eradicate it, this endemic disease remains a public health problem because of its high frequency, severity and the consequences it generates. Furthermore, the existing treatments are increasingly ineffective; it is therefore urgent to find new anti-malarial drugs.Objective: From the phytochemical screening and the determination of the polyphenolic content of Dialium dinklagei and Diospyros monbuttensis used in traditional medicine in Côte d'Ivoire to treat malaria, we identified families of chemical compounds that can guide us towards pharmacological studies. These studies allow us to identify new molecules which could be a possible alternative antimalarial reference used today because of their effectiveness in treating malaria.Materials and Methods: From Dialium dinklagei and Diospyros monbuttensis, we obtained extracts decoction and hexane extracts, methanolic and aqueous extraction after three solvents of increasing polarity (n-hexane, methanol, water), respectively. The crude extracts obtained were tested for chemical identification of groups that may be the basis of the expected therapeutic effects. Moreover, the decoction and methanol extracts were used to determine the polyphenolic compounds.Results: The results vary from one plant species to another and from one sample to another. Abundant presence of alkaloids in all samples and an absence of steroids in other extract except decoction extract of Diospyoros monbuttensis were observed. Therefore, the other chemical groups are present in all plants in varying proportions but depending on the mode of extraction. A higher content of phenols and tannins in Dialium dinklagei over Diospyros monbuttensis was observed. However, the content of flavonoids of Dialium dinklagei is relatively lower compared to that observed in Diospyros monbuttensis.Conclusion: The overall results of the phytochemical screening and polyphenolic content would partly explain the traditional healers’ infatuation to these plants as antimalarials.

A study was conducted to evaluate microbiological quality of traditionally millet-based fermented gruels consumed as weaning foods at different stages of the processes as prepared at household level in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso in 2004, February to May. Our methodology is based on the use of traditional enumeration of four categories of micro-organisms like the enterobacteria that cause fecal contaminations, staphylococcal for the hygiene of producers, Bacillus as cereals contaminant and diarrhea and vomiting agents for young children; Clostridium like telluric agents. These enumerations were coupled with the identification of the characteristic colonies. Fermentation followed by sufficient cooking remains a good means of reduction of the microbial population, especially non-sporulated micro-organisms. MC agar count at 35ºC went from 4.0×106 cfu/mL (before fermentation) to 1.9×105 cfu/mL (after fermentation) to reach zero values. On BP agar at 35ºC, the count was 5.1×105 cfu/mL (before fermentation), 2.3×105 cfu/mL (after fermentation) and 7.2×104 cfu/mL (after cooking). On MYP agar at 35ºC, the results are as follows: 9.9×106 cfu/mL (before fermentation), 1.0×107 cfu/mL (after fermentation) and 1.6×103 cfu/mL (after cooking). Finally, we obtained on TSC agar at 46ºC about 4.1×106 cfu/mL (before fermentation), 2.7×107 cfu/mL (after fermentation) and 8.0×103 cfu/mL (after cooking). Identifications showed a strong presence of sporulated germs and non-sporulated acid tolerant germs especially after cooking. These results show how difficult these types of germs are to eliminate.

Q02 - Traitement et conservation des produits alimentaires - Abstract
L'objectif principal de ce travail vise à améliorer la qualité sanitaire des bouillies infantiles à base de céréales fermentées de mil, consommées en Afrique comme aliments de complément à l'allaitement maternel. Ces bouillies doivent être exemptes de germes susceptibles de provoquer des toxi-infections alimentaires. L'évaluation de la qualité bactériologique des produits issus de 10 sites de la commune de Ouagadougou au Burkina Faso, nous a permis d'isoler et d'identifier 449 souches des échantillons prélevés à différentes étapes de la fabrication de la bouillie que sont: avant la fermentation de la pâte, à la fin de la fermentation, après la cuisson de la pâte fermentée et lors de la confection des granules. Des dénombrements microbiens réalisés sur les milieux Mac Conkey, Baird Parker, Mannitol-Yolk-Polymyxin et Tryptone Sulfite Cyclosérine de tous les échantillons montrent la présence en grand nombre de différents germes, signe pour certains sites d'une mauvaise hygiène des produits et des procédés. Pour les entérobactéries, l'espèce la plus rencontrée est Klebsiella pneumo. ssp pneumonia. Pour les autres bacilles Gram négatif, c'est l'espèce Chryoseomonas luteola. Pour les staphylocoques, c'est l'espèce Staphylococcus xylosus. Pour les bacilles gram positif aptes à sporuler ce sont des souches de Bacillus cereus et de Clostridium beijerinckii/butyricum. D'un point de vue toxi-infections alimentaires, les espèces suivantes ont été isolées et identifiées: Bacillus cereus (19 souches), Enterobacter sakazakii (03), Klebsiella pneumo. spp pneumonia (16), Escherichia coli (04) et Staphylococcus aureus (02). Globalement, on observe une diminution importante des niveaux de population après la fermentation mais les bacilles capables de sporuler se maintiennent dans les produits après cette étape importante du procédé. La cuisson entraîne une diminution drastique voir la disparition de la majorité des germes sauf pour les bacilles aptes à la sporulation. L'analyse des dangers lors de la fabrication des bouillies a montré que la fermentation et la cuisson de la pâte fermentée sont deux points critiques qu'il faut maîtriser. Des challenge-tests réalisés avec les souches Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Enterobacter sakazakii CIP 103183T, Bacillus cereus ATCC 9139 de collection ou les souches Escherichia coli AMC2-1, Enterobacter sakazakii AMC8-3, Bacillus cereus BMYP7-3 isolées des ateliers ont permis l'évaluation du risque de leur développement et cela à certaines étapes des procédés de transformation. La fermentation lactique et surtout la cuisson s'avèrent efficaces pour réduire les populations d'entérobactéries testées. Pour les souches de Bacillus cereus testées, elle ne constitue pas une barrière efficace contre le maintien de leurs formes sporulées. II en ressort que pour ces différents germes utilisés, la maîtrise du processus de fermentation lors de la décantation de la pâte, la maîtrise de la cuisson à travers le couple temps/température, les contaminations croisées liées à la qualité des ustensiles et à la propreté des productrices sont à maitriser pour l'obtention d'une bouillie "saine". La recontamination de la bouillie cuite reste un danger. L'ajout de nisine dans les bouillies, est sans effet sur les entérobactéries testées alors que cet ajout permet de réduire efficacement les populations de Bacillus cereus. Cette molécule thermostable pourrait être ajoutée en fin d'étape de fermentation et avant cuisson pour cumuler les deux effets: destruction thermique par cuisson et inhibition par la nisine.

L'étude des voies d'amélioration de la qualité sanitaire des bouillies infantiles à base de farines fermentées de mil est une exigence pour préserver la santé des jeunes enfants des pays en voie de développement. Très consommés comme aliments de complément à l'allaitement maternel, ces dernières doivent être exemptes de germes susceptibles de provoquer des toxi-infections alimentaires. Ce travail s'inscrit dans cet objectif. Notre méthodologie de travail est basée sur l'utilisation des challenge tests. Elle consiste à inoculer artificiellement le produit concerné avec des germes pouvant présenter un danger et à apprécier leur développement dans les conditions habituelles de fabrication et d'utilisation de ce produit. Les microorganismes utilisés sont Bacillus cereus (ATCC 9139) et Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) issus de la collection de l'institut Pasteur. Inoculés simultanément dans la farine lors des étapes de mouture et de décantation pour atteindre des niveaux de population compris entre 106 et 107 CFU/g, nous avons examiné leur développement à travers des dénombrements sur des milieux sélectifs MYP et ECD-MUG à 30 et 44°C, parallèlement au dénombrement de la flore totale aérobie mésophile sur milieu PCA à 30°C. Il en ressort qu'après l'inoculation d'une suspension aqueuse de farine de mil mise à décanter la population totale aérobie mésophile chute de 109 à < 1 CFU/g en 6 heures, B. cereus et E. coli de 107 à < 1 CFU/g en 2 heures. Quand on inocule lors de la mouture du mil, la flore totale aérobie mésophile décroît de 109 à 103 CFU/mL en 6 heures, B. cereus et E. coli de 107 à < 1 CFU/g en 6 heures. Les essais de cuisson et de post-incubation 72 heures à la température ambiante de la pâte non fermentée inoculée avec les souches tests ont renseigné sur la présence éventuelle de spores de germes acido-résistants et l'absence de spores de B. cereus. Les deux séries de challenge tests montrent que la fermentation lactique est bénéfique pour la stabilisation des aliments. Les différents dénombrements des bactéries (germes totaux aérobies mésophiles, E. coli ATCC 25922, B. cereus ATCC 9139) viables et cultivables donnent des résultats inférieurs aux quantité minimales infectieuses.

- Abstract
Background: In the agenda towards malaria eradication, assessment of both malaria exposure and efficacy of anti-vectorial and therapeutic strategies is a key component of management and the follow-up of field interventions. The simultaneous use of several antigens (Ags) as serological markers has the potential for accurate evaluation of malaria exposure. Here we aimed to measure the longitudinal evolution of the background levels of immunity in an urban setting in confirmed clinical cases of malaria., Methods: A retrospective serological cross-sectional study on was carried out using 234 samples taken from 2010 to 2013 in peri-urban sentinel facility of Cote d'Ivoire. Antibody responses to recombinant proteins or BSA-peptides, 8 Plasmodium falciparum (PfAMA1, PfMSP4, PfMSP1, PfEMP1-DBL1α1-PF13, PfLSA1-41, PfLSA3-NR2, PfGLURP and PfCSP), one P. malariae (PmCSP) and one Anopheles gambiae salivary (gSG6-P1) antigens were measured using magnetic bead-based multiplex immunoassay (MBA). Total anti- P. falciparum IgG responses against schizont lysate from african 07/03 strain (adapted to culture) and 3D7 strain was measured by ELISA., Results: High prevalence (7-93%) and levels of antibody responses to most of the antigens were evidenced. However, analysis showed only marginal decreasing trend of Ab responses from 2010 to 2013 that did not parallel the reduction of clinical malaria prevalence following the implementation of intervention in this area. There was a significant inverse correlation between Ab responses and parasitaemia (P<10-3, rho = 0.3). The particular recruitment of asymptomatic individuals in 2011 underlined a high background level of immunity almost equivalent to symptomatic patients, possibly obscuring observable yearly variations., Conclusion: The use of cross-sectional clinical malaria surveys and MBA can help to identify endemic sites where control measures have unequal impact providing relevant information about population immunity and possible decrease of transmission. However, when immunity is substantially boosted despite observable clinical decline, a larger cohort including asymptomatic recruitment is needed to monitor the impact of control measures on level of immunity.
