  abstract = {{B}ackground: {H}uman and {A}nimal {T}rypanosomes are major problems for the socio-economic growth of developing countries like {B}urkina {F}aso. {I}vermectin is currently used to treat humans in mass drug administration programs in {A}frica, and is also commonly used for veterinary purposes. {I}n this study, we tested the effect of ivermectin injected into cattle on the survival and fecundity of {G}lossina palpalis gambiensis, the main vector of human and animal trypanosomes in {W}est {A}frica. {M}ethods: {T}hree cows (local zebu*baoule crossbreds) were used, and received either no ivermectin (for the control), or ivermectin at therapeutic dose (0.2 mg/kg) and 10 times the therapeutic dose (2 mg/kg) respectively. {G}. palpalis gambiensis were fed on the cattle for their first bloodmeal, and then either on cattle or on membrane for subsequent meals. {R}esults: {O}ur results showed that survival of {G}lossina palpalis gambiensis was significantly decreased when they were fed on cattle treated with ivermectin. {T}his decrease in survival ranged from 21% to 83.7% for the therapeutic dose (0.2 mg/kg), up to 8 days after treatment. {T}he effects of a dose of 2 mg/kg were higher with a 78.3% to 93.9% decrease in survival, until 14 days after injection. {T}he therapeutic dose of ivermectin also decreased fecundity, and delayed the first larviposition, but there was no significant effect on hatching rate. {C}onclusion: {I}vermectin injected into cattle may constitute an additional potential tool for the control of {G}lossina palpalis gambiensis and possibly other vector species. {F}urther studies will be needed to assess its effect on trypanosome transmission, and to define more precisely the adequate dose to be used for control purposes.},
