Demographic densification and agricultural activities have led to strong anthropization of the watersheds of the Daloa’s urban aquatic environments, which could modify their physico-chemical characteristics. The present study was carried out to highlight the influence of physico-chemical parameters on the distribution of molluscs in Daloa’s rice and fish ponds. It took place between July and September 2020, in eight (08) sampling sites located in rice and fish ponds. The aquatic mollusks sampling was carried out using a turbid net (1 m2 of sampled area) and a Van Veen bucket (0.15 m2 of sediment per sample). The result showed that Dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, transparency, temperature and depth did not vary significantly between sampling sites in the rice and fish ponds. The inventory revealed 26 species of mollusks in 10 families and 5 orders. The order Basommatophores (13 species) was the most diversified. The rice ponds with 25 species was more diversified than the fish ponds with 17 species. The presence of Aplexa marmorata and Melanoides tuberculata in all the Daloa’s rice and fish farming systems was due to the basicity of these waters.

The purpose of this study, is to determine the quality of small dams of the North and Center of Côte d’Ivoire base on the analysis of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community. Sampling took place from june 2016 to june 2018 in 08 stations with three in the Center and five in the North. In the Center, five classes (Achaetes, Bivalves, Oligochaetes, Gastropods and Insects), 10 oders and 35 families have been identified while in the North 3 classes (Achaetes, Gastropods, Insects), 11 oders and 36 families were recorded. The average score per taxon showned that water quality of North stations is good and the quality of water in the Center is average. Besides, taxa EPT percent signified that thes stations are influenced by anthropical activities.

Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive genetic metabolic disorder due to an inherited disorder of metabolism, resulting from glucocerebrosidase deficiency, resulting in the deposition of glucocerebroside and its components. The clinical symptoms are different depending on the type of the disease, but it is usually hepatosplenomegaly or damage to the central nervous system.Laboratory diagnosis can use routine analyzes such as ferritin, HDL, vitamin b12, folate, serum iron, but also specialized ones such as serum protein electrophoresis as well as immunofixation for the typing of immunoglobulins.Through this work, we will shed light on the interest of serum protein electrophoresis in the biological orientation of the biology diagnosis of Gaucher disease, and this through case illustrations.Confirmatory laboratory diagnosis is based on DNA analysis and / or enzymatic analysis of white blood cells, and by demonstrating a decrease in β-glucosidase activity...

Mitochondrial diseases, are the most frequent hereditary diseases of metabolism. They are characterized by a dysfunction of the respiratory chain, which results in an energy deficit.These are very heterogeneous diseases, with a very variable clinical presentation and often difficult diagnosis. They are due to the alteration of very diverse genes located either on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or on the nuclear genome. Recent technological advances with exon sequencing have led to the discovery of many genes involved and to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of these diseases, which are essential for the development of specific treatments.The diagnostic approach consists in recognizing the disease in front of the clinical presentation, For clinical practice, the diagnostic approach of mitochondrial cytopathies would be more easy if the practitioner keeps in mind the most evocative clinical pictures and if he provides proof of the mitochondrial anomaly by biochemical, radiological and histopathological explorations. Only the highlighting of the causative gene makes it possible to affirm the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. Genetic diagnosis allows genetic counseling, in order to support the prognosis, particularly pejorative for early-onset forms.

The objective of this survey was to appreciate attitudes and to determine ignorance factors of Kalikuku riparian population on forest’s importance. The results have shown that this population ignores human devastating actions on forest (search for firewood, building materials and arable lands), the consequences of these actions on forest biodiversity as well as forest ecological role. This population’s information, sensitization and environmental education around forest should so be considererd as palliative solutions.
