The article presents a new view on the problems of political stability in West African countries. For the first time was carried out a comparative analysis of the sustainability of the political systems of the two Francophone fastest growing countries in West Africa, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal. The author analyzes the factors negatively influencing political stability social order, and those that reduce conflict potencial in these States. Internal and external threats to the political systems of Senegal and Сôte d’Ivoire are examined. The response of both countries to internal and external challenges is shown. The study proves that while external threats indanger Senegal’s political stability, such as the penetration of religious extremism, the crisis in Casamance, maritime piracy, drug traffic, for Côte d’Ivoire, on the contrary, main risks are internal: electoral, socio-political crises, the split of elites, arms smuggling, banditry. The study demonstrates that the level of social governance in Senegal is higher than in other West African countries, including Сôte d’Ivoire, due to the dualism of the political system: the coexistence of Western-style political institutions with local faiths (tariqas), as well as policy pursued by President M. Sall. aimed at achieving mutual compromise that ensure the peaceful settlement of conflicts and contradictions. The author concludes that a new approach to the development of a security strategy is required.

Abstract Background: The biobank is a structure that manages and makes available biological resources. The biobank has medical, scientific and economic interests in an ethical manner. In 2009, Côte d'Ivoire established a biobank, which has housed the regional biobank of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries since 2018. To ensure optimal and efficient use of this biobank, scientific stakeholders must be aware of its existence and role. It was therefore necessary to assess the knowledge of laboratory staff on the role and activities of a biobank.Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted with staff of human, animal and plant health laboratories located in southern Côte d'Ivoire. Results: A total of 205 people agreed to complete the proposed questionnaire. Of these, 34.63% are biologists, 7.32% engineers, 48.78% technicians and 9.27% PhD students. The average professional experience was 10.11 ± 7.83 years. Respectively, 47.32% and 43.41% have never heard of biocollection and biobank. Only 48.78% of participants had a good understanding of the role of a biobank. Technicians and PhD students were less educated on the notion of biobank (p<0.000001). Biologists, although they were more educated on this issue, 21.13% of them had a misconception of biobank. Good knowledge of the role of a biobank was not significantly related to the duration of professional experience (p>0.88). Conclusion: The level of knowledge of laboratory staff about biobanking remains to be improved. Training on the role, activities and interests of the biobank is important.

Malaria morbidity and mortality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are increasing. The scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying have been the major contributors to the decrease of malaria burden. These tools are now threatened by insecticide resistance in malaria vectors, which is spreading dramatically. After two different real-time polymerase chain reaction molecular characterizations carried out on 70 mosquitoes sampled in the locality of Elibou in southern Côte d’Ivoire, results revealed that 9 mosquitoes from Anopheles coluzzi harbored the double East- and West-African knockdown resistance mutations. In the previous year, only 1 mosquito out of 150 sampled from 10 regions of the country had the same genotype. These results show the rapid spread of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors and highlight the urgent need to diversify the methods of vector control in order to avoid the failure of insecticide-based vector control tools which may favor malaria fatalities.
