Abstract
Climate change and variability are significant challenges for the environment and food security worldwide. Development strategies focusing simultaneously on adaptive farming, productivity, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-known as climate-smart agriculture (CSA) strategies-are key to responding to these challenges. For almost a decade, within the framework of Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), World Agroforestry (ICRAF), and its partners have been using Participatory Action Research (PAR) to fully engage key stakeholders in co-creating such CSA development strategies. This includes the testing of Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) CSA scalability options. The multidisciplinary teams include the National Research and Extension Systems (NARES), national meteorological services (NMS), non-profit organizations (NGOs), and local radio programs, among others. The CCAFS-West Africa Program, World Agroforestry-West and Central Africa (ICRAF-WCA), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), University of Reading, and Centre Régional de Formation et d'Application en Agro-météorologie et Hydrologie Opérationnelle (AGRHYMET) provide technical backstopping to the national teams. Climate information (CI) was used as an entry point to inform the development of CSA technologies and practices within Climate-Smart Villages (CSV). This groundwork has led to a greater understanding of three critical factors for successful CSV implementation: (1) Building strong partnerships to co-design and develop agricultural systems that improve ecosystem and population resilience, (2) Key stakeholders (researchers, farmers, development agents, and students) capacity strengthening through vocational and academic training, and (3) Using CI for livelihood planning at all scales. These three factors support more effective identification and testing of agricultural technologies and practices addressing climate variability and change at plot, community, and landscape levels. This paper discusses the PAR-CSA methodology and parameters for evaluation, including biophysical and social change. Keys to success, including communication, knowledge sharing tools, and scalability are also discussed. Finally, future opportunities for improvement are presented, including knowledge product development, CSA policy and investment planning, capacity building, further engagement of the private sector, and additional research on existing practices and tools.

Abstract
Today, ethno-pharmacology is a very important resource in order to discover new therapies for the current diseases. Moreover, another good justification for the ethno-pharmacological approach is to obtain new, effective, less expensive and simple therapies, limiting at the same time the cost of pharmaceutical research. Two major anti-malarial drugs widely used today, i.e. quinine and artemisinin, came respectively from Peruvian and Chinese ancestral treatments reported in the traditional medicines. In this contest, there is an urgent need for the discovery of new drugs, due to the critical epidemiological situation of this disease and to the growth of resistances. In Mali, malaria and liver diseases remain one of the leading public health problems. Many medicinal plants are often used, in local traditional medicine, for the treatment at the same time of malaria and liver diseases, including hepatic syndromes, jaundice, hepatitis and other hepatic disorders. Moreover, in the local language Bamanan, the word “ Sumaya” is used both for malaria and some liver diseases. In addition, we noted that some of the improved traditional phytomedicines produced by the Department of Traditional Medicine are prescribed by modern doctors both for malaria and liver diseases. In this review, pharmacological, toxicological and phytochemical data on Argemone mexicana L. (Papaveraceae), Cochlospermum tinctorium Perr. ex A. Rich (Cochlospermaceae), Combretum micranthum G.Don (Combretaceae), Entada africana Guillet Perr. (Mimosaceae), Erythrina senegalensis A. DC (Fabaceae), Mitragyna inermis (Willd) Kuntze (Rubiaceae), Nauclea latifolia Smith syn. Sarcocephalus latifolius (Smith) Bruce (Rubiaceae), Securidaca longepedunculata Fresen (Polygalaceae), Trichilia emetica Vahl. (Meliaceae), and Vernonia colorata (Willd) Drake (Asteraceae) are reported. Some of the collected data could be used to improve the actual herbal drugs and to propose new phytomedicines for the management of malaria and liver diseases.

Abstract
Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression on the thyroid follicular cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD).H2(h4) mice is enhanced by iodide treatment, which correlates with autoimmune thyroid disease in genetically susceptible NOD.H2(h4) mice. The current study examines the mechanism of iodine-enhanced up-regulation of ICAM-1 on the surface of thyroid cells. We hypothesized that the up-regulation of ICAM-1 is due to a transient increase in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS may initiate signalling of the ICAM-1 gene promoter, enhancing up-regulated ICAM-1 protein on the cell surface. Single-cell suspensions of thyroid follicular cells from thyroiditis-susceptible NOD.H2(h4) or non-susceptible BALB/c mice were treated in vitro with sodium iodide. Extracellular and intracellular ROS were assessed by luminol-derived chemiluminescence and flow cytometry assays respectively. Our results demonstrate that thyroid follicular cells of NOD.H2(h4) generate higher levels of ROS compared with cells from non-susceptible strains of mice. Expression of a subunit protein of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, p67(phox), was analysed by Western blot immunoassay. A constitutive expression of the p67(phox) subunit protein was observed in NOD.H2(h4) mice prior to iodine treatment. No such expression was found in BALB/c mice. Treatment of NOD.H2(h4) thyroid cells with diphenyleneiodium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, reduced generation of ROS and of ICAM-1 protein expression. Thus, thyrocytes from NOD.H2(h4) mice produce enhanced levels of ROS that may be mediated by NADPH oxidase. Consequently, in NOD.H2(h4) mice the ROS-induced signal for ICAM-1 up-regulation may contribute to mononuclear cellular infiltration of the thyroid gland and the progression of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Abstract
The population of the Dogon, located in Mali, is divided in an endogamic Noble class and two endogamic servant castes (Tanners and Blacksmiths). We find that the polymorphic frequencies of beta c, beta S, and, unexpectedly, a mutation of the delta-chain (delta A'), are geographically (valley vs. plateau) as well as social status dependent.

Abstract
: The side-effects of permethrin (20% EC) as a Simulium larvicide on aquatic invertebrates and fish was studied under operational vector control conditions to contribute to the evaluation of the product for its possible adoption by the Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Africa. After 15 weekly applications of the formulation at 0.045 litre per m(3) of water discharge, drift samples virtually contained no Ephemeroptera. Saxicolous fauna density and proportional diversity were also affected. However, both drift and saxicolous fauna recovered to almost pretreatment levels a month after treatment was terminated. Fish showed some evidence of stress but remained in the active treated zone to make trends of catches in the area comparable with those of the control station. The treatment did not result in fish mortalities, and the condition of fish before and after the experimental period was significantly unchanged. Thus, operational use of permethrin by the Programme would not be expected to have permanent adverse effects on the non-target fauna.
