  abstract = {{T}setse flies are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiases. {F}or tsetse eradication programs, it is crucial to be able to identify and target isolated populations, because they can be targeted for eradication without risk of reinvasion. {H}owever, most data that are available on non-isolated populations fail to find how these populations are locally structured, because {W}ahlund effect (admixture of individuals from genetically different units) always interfere with interpretations. {I}n this paper, we investigated the genetic population structure of a possibly isolated population of {G}lossina palpalis gambiensis in a sacred wood in {S}outh {B}urkina {F}aso. using microsatellite {DNA} markers. {W}e found that genotypic proportions in this population were in agreement with random mating model and that these tsetse were genetically highly differentiated from other populations of the same {M}ouhoun river basin only a few kilometers away, confirming its genetic isolation. {T}he population also displayed substantial temporal differentiation in a two years period that lead to an estimate of effective population size of similar to 100 individuals. {T}he fact that no {W}ahlund effect was identified allowed us to accurately measure the basic genetic parameters of this isolated population. {I}dentifying such isolated and small populations is crucial for eradication programs and should be implemented more often.},
