  abstract = {{P}urpose {T}he boom in {B}urkina {F}aso's artisanal gold mining since 2007 has attracted populations from {C}ote d'{I}voire and {G}uinea, which are the {W}est {A}frican countries most affected by human {A}frican trypanosomiasis ({HAT}) and therefore increases its risk of re-emergence. {O}ur aim was to update the {HAT} data in {B}urkina {F}aso in the risk of the re-emergence context with the advent of artisanal gold mining. {M}ethods {T}he study was carried out in the southwestern {B}urkina {F}aso where entomological surveys were conducted using biconical traps in {M}arch 2017. {F}ollow by an active medical survey in {A}pril 2017, which was targeted the gold panners in 7 villages closer to artisanal gold sites, using {CATT}, mini-anion exchange centrifugation technique, trypanolysis test ({TL}) and {ELISA} test to measure human/tsetse contacts. {T}he buffy coat technique and the {TL} were also applied in pigs to check their reservoir role of human trypanosomes. {R}esults {O}ur results have shown no case of {HAT} among 958 individuals tested and all the 50 pigs were also negative, but the level of antibodies against tsetse saliva evidenced by {ELISA} revealed low human/tsetse contact. {M}oreover, gold panners practise agriculture and breeding in an infected tsetse area, which are increased the risk. {C}onclusion {O}ur results illustrate that the risk of re-emergence is low. {T}he passive surveillance system implemented in 2015 in southwestern {B}urkina {F}aso is needed to increase the sentinel sites to better cover this area by taking into account the gold mining. {F}inally, awareness-raising activities are needed among populations about {HAT}.},
