  abstract = {{T}he evaluation of human antibody response specific to arthropod saliva may be a useful marker of exposure to vector-borne disease. {S}uch an immunologic tool, applied to the evaluation of the exposure to {G}lossina bites, could be integrated in the control of human {A}frican trypanosomiasis ({HAT}). {T}he antibody ({I}g{G}) response specific to uninfected {G}lossina fuscipes fuscipes saliva was evaluated according to the vector exposure and trypanic status in individuals residing in an {HAT}-endemic area. {A} high level of anti-saliva {I}g{G} antibodies was only detected in exposed individuals, whether infected or not by {T}rypanosoma brucei gambiense. {I}n addition, the evaluation of specific {I}g{G} response represented spatial heterogeneity according to studied sites. {T}hese results suggest that the evaluation of anti-saliva {I}g{G} could be an indicator of {G}lossina exposure and thus could be integrated in other available tools to identify populations presenting risks of {HAT} transmission.},
