  abstract = {{I}n {B}urkina {F}aso, the {M}ouhoun river basin (formerly '{B}lack {V}olta") constitutes a historical focus of {H}uman ({HAT}) and {A}nimal ({AAT}) {A}frican {T}ryponosomoses, both transmitted by tsetse flies. {N}owadays, {HAT} seems to have disappeared from this area, while {AAT} still causes severe economic losses. {I}n order to explain these different epidemiological situations, we undertook a geographical study based on the analysis of aerial pictures between 1952 and 2007, and field surveys to collect medical, entomological, and veterinary data on trypanosomoses. {O}ur results suggest that in this area, landscapes have been dramatically modified as a consequence of population growth, and in turn have had an impact on the number and distribution of tsetse flies. {C}ombined with the historical medical action on {HAT} which probably led to the disappearance of {T}. b. gambiense, this environmental degradation and the development of hydrological structures provide explanations for the local disappearance of {HAT}, and for the maintenance of {AAT}. {I}t appears necessary to extrapolate these studies to other areas in order to identify the factors explaining the presence/absence of trypanosomoses in the context of human population growth and climatic changes, in order},
