  abstract = {{A}frican trypanosomoses, whose pathogens are transmitted by tsetse flies, are a threat to animal and human health. {T}setse flies observed at the military base of the {F}rench {F}orces in {C}ote d'{I}voire ({FFCI} base) were probably involved in the infection and death of military working dogs. {E}ntomological and parasitological surveys were carried out during the rainy and dry seasons using "{V}avoua" traps to identify tsetse fly species, their distribution, favorable biotopes and food sources, as well as the trypanosomes they harbor. {A} total of 1185 {G}lossina palpalis palpalis tsetse flies were caught, corresponding to a high average apparent density of 2.26 tsetse/trap/day. {T}he results showed a heterogeneous distribution of tsetse at the {FFCI} base, linked to more or less favorable biotopes. {N}o significant variation in tsetse densities was observed according to the season. {T}he overall trypanosomes infection rate according to microscopic observation was 13.5%. {P}olymerase chain reaction ({PCR}) analyses confirmed the presence of {T}rypanosoma vivax and {T}. congolense forest type, responsible for {A}frican animal trypanosomosis. {O}ur findings suggest that there is a risk of introduction and transmission of {T}. brucei gambiense, responsible for human {A}frican trypanosomiasis, on the study site. {T}his risk of transmission of {A}frican trypanosomes concerns not only the {FFCI} base, but also inhabited peripheral areas. {O}ur study confirmed the need for vector control adapted to the eco-epidemiological context of the {FFCI} base.},
