  abstract = {{B}ackground: {H}uman {A}frican {T}rypanosomiasis ({HAT}) is an important neglected tropical disease caused by {T}rypanosoma spp. parasites transmitted by species of tsetse fly ({G}lossina spp). {T}he most important vectors of {HAT} are riverine tsetse and these can be controlled by attracting them to stationary baits such as insecticide-impregnated traps or targets deployed along the banks of rivers. {H}owever, the geographical nature of some riverine habitats, particularly mangroves but also extensive lake and river networks, makes deployment of baits difficult and limits their efficacy. {I}t is known that tsetse are attracted by the movement of their hosts. {O}ur hypothesis was that mounting a target on canoes typically used in {A}frica ('pirogues') would produce an effective means of attracting-and-killing riverine tsetse in extensive wetland habitats. {M}ethods: {I}n {F}olonzo, southern {B}urkina {F}aso, studies were made of the numbers of tsetse attracted to a target (75 x 50 cm) of blue cloth and netting mounted on a pirogue moving along a river, versus the same target placed on the riverbank. {T}he targets were covered with a sticky film which caught tsetse as they contacted the target. {R}esults: {T}he pirogue-mounted target caught twice as many {G}. tachinoides and {G}. p. gambiensis, and 8 times more {G}. morsitans submorsitans than the stationary one ({P} < 0.001). {C}onclusion: {P}irogues are common vehicle for navigating the rivers, lakes and swamps of {W}est {A}frica. {T}he demonstration that tsetse can be attracted to targets mounted on such boats suggests that pirogues might provide a cost-effective and convenient platform for deploying targets to control tsetse in the mangrove systems of {W}est {A}frica where {HAT} persists. {F}urther studies to assess the impact of pirogue-mounted targets on tsetse populations in {HAT} foci and the protective value of targets for pirogue passengers are recommended.},
