  abstract = {{T}o characterize the potential transmission sites of sleeping sickness in {K}inshasa, two entomologic surveys were carried out during the dry and the rainy seasons in rural and periurban areas of {K}inshasa in 2005. {A}bout 610 pyramidal traps were set up, and 897 {G}lossina fuscipes quanzensis were captured. {E}nvironmental and biologic factors were reported, and relationships between these factors were evaluated using logistic regression and multiple correspondence analysis. {T}he biologic factors (the presence of tsetse flies, human blood meals, and teneral flies) were progressively accumulated at each capture site to permit the characterization of the sleeping sickness transmission risk. {T}he dry season was found to be a more favorable period for the disease transmission than the rainy season. {M}oreover, the landscapes characterized by the presence of argillaceous soils, raised ground cover with forest residues and rivers, were identified as types of environments with greater risk of sleeping sickness transmission. {P}ig breeding appeared as an important factor increasing the disease transmission. {I}f vector control is continuously performed along rivers segments at high risk, the transmission of sleeping sickness in rural and periurban areas of {K}inshasa will considerably decrease.},
