Background and Objective: Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) is a systemic neglected tropical diseases and potentially lethal disease caused by infection with protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. In the causal, agent of HVL is L. infantum and dogs are a major reservoir host. Visceral leishmaniasis is rarely found in West Africa and no cases have been reported to date in Burkina Faso. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the presence of L. infantum in population of domestic dogs in Bobo-Dioulasso city in Burkina Faso. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in five districts of the city Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. An active survey was conducted in households with dogs in five districts of the city for canine leishmaniasis screening. Epidemiological data and clinical signs were collected for each dog. Venous blood collection and skin lesions biopsies were performed in dogs after informed consent of the owners. The plasma was used for the immunological diagnosis (DiaMed-IT LEISH) and positive samples were confirmed by nested PCR. Results: A total of 85 dogs were included in the study. For the first time, the occurrence of L. infantum in Burkina Faso was confirmed in five domestic dogs presenting symptomatic signs by immunochromatographic tests. Biopsy samples were positive for L. infantum in PCR analysis. Conclusion: The findings indicated that L. infantum is circulating within canine populations in Bobo-Dioulasso. Infected dogs would be the reservoir hosts of this visceralising species. Several priorities for public and veterinary health research have been highlighted by this study.

The effects of Sub-lethal treatments (20 and 60% of 24 h LC50) of chlorophyllin on the reproduction and development of Lymnaea acuminata has been studied. There was a significant decrease in the fecundity, hatchability and survival of the young snails. Treatment with 60% of 24 h LC50 of chlorophyllin caused minimum fecundity (57 eggs/20 snails, 48 h) in summer (sunlight). After 48 h no egg laying and hatching was noted in snails exposed to 60% of 24 h LC50 of chlorophyllin in both winter (sunlight) as well as in summer (sunlight). Development could not proceed beyond the veliger stage due to the death of the embryo. The developmental arrest was noticed in many egg strings leading to the high rate of mortality and there by reduction in hatchability of the eggs. Growth rate of survived snails was also very slow. This present study clearly shows that the efficacy of chlorophyllin gives significant control of reproduction of the snails even at sub-lethal exposure. The use of the natural products would have an added advantage against aquatic snails as it would be non toxic to the non target animals and less hazardous to the environment.
本文研究了叶绿素亚致死处理(24 h LC50的20%和60%)对尖叶树(lynnaea acuminata)繁殖发育的影响。钉螺的繁殖力、孵化率和成活率明显下降。在夏季(日光下)，以叶绿素素24 h LC50的60%处理钉螺的繁殖力最低(57个卵/20只钉螺，48 h)。无论在冬季(日光)还是夏季(日光)，在叶绿素浓度为24 h LC50的60%的条件下，钉螺在48 h后均未产卵和孵化。由于胚胎的死亡，发育不能超过发育阶段。在许多卵串中发现了发育停滞，导致高死亡率，并降低了卵的孵化率。存活蜗牛的生长速度也非常缓慢。本研究清楚地表明，即使在亚致死暴露下，叶绿素对蜗牛的繁殖也有显著的控制作用。使用天然产品对水生蜗牛有一个额外的优势，因为它对非目标动物无毒，对环境的危害较小。
