  abstract = {{T}setse flies {G}lossina palpalis gambiensis and {G}. tachinoides are among the major vectors of sleeping sickness ({H}uman {A}frican {T}rypanosomiasis-{HAT}) and nagana ({A}frican {A}nimal {T}rypanosomiasis-{AAT}) in {W}est {A}frica. {B}oth riparian species occur sympatrically in gallery forests of south west {B}urkina {F}aso, but little is known of their interspecies relationships although different authors think there may be some competition between them. {T}he aim of this study was to check if sympatric species have different strategies when approaching a host. {A} man placed in a sticky cube (1mx1mx1m) and a sticky black-blue-black target (1mx1m) were used to capture tsetse along the {C}omoe river banks in a {L}atin {S}quare design. {T}he number and the height at which tsetse were caught by each capture method were recorded according to species and sex. {G}lossina p. gambiensis was more attracted to human bait than to the target, but both species were captured at a significantly higher height on the target compared with the human bait ({P}<0.05). {N}o significant difference in heights was found between {G}. tachinoides and {G}. p. gambiensis captured on targets (33 and 35cm, respectively, {P}>0.05). {H}owever, catches on human bait showed a significant difference in height between {G}. tachinoides and {G}. p. gambiensis (22.5 and 30.6cm, respectively, {P}<0.001). {T}his study showed that these sympatric species had different attack behaviours to humans, which is not the case with the target. {T}he implications of these findings are discussed.},
