  abstract = {{I}n order to identify pathogenic trypanosomes responsible for {A}frican trypanosomiasis, and to better understand tsetse-trypanosome relationships, surveys were undertaken in three sites located in different eco-climatic areas in {C}ote d'{I}voire during the dry and rainy seasons. {T}setse flies were caught during five consecutive days using biconical traps, dissected and microscopically examined looking for trypanosome infection. {S}amples from infected flies were tested by {PCR} using specific primers for {T}rypanosoma brucei s.l., {T}. congolense savannah type, {T}. congolense forest type and {T}. vivax. {O}f 1941 tsetse flies caught including four species, i.e. {G}lossina palpalis palpalis, {G}. p. gambiensis, {G}. tachinoides and {G}. medicorum, 513 (26%) were dissected and 60 (12%) were found positive by microscopy. {U}p to 41% of the infections were due to {T}. congolense savannah type, 30% to {T}. vivax, 20% to {T}. congolense forest type and 9% due to {T}. brucei s.l. {A}ll four trypanosome species and subgroups were identified from {G}. tachinoides and {G}. p. palpalis, while only two were isolated from {G}. p. gambiensis ({T}. brucei s.l., {T}. congolense savannah type) and {G}. medicorum ({T}. congolense forest, savannah types). {M}ixed infections were found in 25% of cases and all involved {T}. congolense savannah type with another trypanosome species. {T}he simultaneous occurrence of {T}. brucei s.l., and tsetse from the palpalis group may suggest that human trypanosomiasis can still be a constraint in these localities, while high rates of {T}. congolense and {T}. vivax in the area suggest a potential risk of animal trypanosomiasis in livestock along the {C}omoe {R}iver.},
