  abstract = {{F}ollowing confirmed cases of trypanosomosis in military working dogs, c cross-sectional study was undertaken to evaluate the source of infection and determine the prevalence of canine infection with {T}rypanosoma congolense in the urban focus of {A}bidjan, {I}vory {C}oast. {B}lood from 123 dogs were collected and subjected to {PCR} using specific primers for {T}rypanosoma congolense "forest type". {I}n addition, an entomological study was conducted in an urban area near the forest surronding the military camp. {T}he observed prevalence was 30.1% end {PCR} positivity to {T}rypanosoma congolense was not significantly associated with sex or age of animals. {T}his study demonstrates the high contamination rate of dogs in enzootic zones, the potential risk of introduction of the disease in free animal populations and the ability of {G}lossina palpalis to adopt to urban areas and to transmit trypanosomosis in such areas. {T}he factors leading to a possible emergence of canine trypanosomiasis in enzootic zones need further investigations.},
