Abstract
In the Mouhoun River basin, Burkina Faso, the main vectors of African animal trypanosomoses are Glossina palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank and Glossina tachinoides Westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae), both of which are riverine tsetse species. The aim of our study was to understand the impact of landscape anthropogenic changes on the seasonal dynamics of vectors and associated trypanosomosis risk. Three sites were selected on the basis of the level of disturbance of tsetse habitats and predominant tsetse species: disturbed (Boromo, for G. tachinoides) and half-disturbed (Douroula for G. tachinoides and Kadomba for G. p. gambiensis). At each of these sites, seasonal variations in the apparent densities of tsetse and mechanical vectors and tsetse infection rates were monitored over 17 months. Tsetse densities differed significantly between sites and seasons. Of 5613 captured tsetse, 1897 were dissected; 34 of these were found to be infected with trypanosomes. The most frequent infection was Trypanosoma vivax (1.4%), followed by Trypanosoma congolense (0.3%) and Trypanosoma brucei (0.05%). The mean physiological age of 703 tsetse females was investigated to better characterize the transmission risk. Despite the environmental changes, it appeared that tsetse lived long enough to transmit trypanosomes, especially in half-disturbed landscapes. A total of 3021 other biting flies from 15 species (mainly Tabanidae and Stomoxyinae) were also caught: their densities also differed significantly among sites and seasons. Their relative importance regarding trypanosome transmission is discussed; the trypanosomosis risk in cattle was similar at all sites despite very low tsetse densities (but high mechanical vector densities) in one of them.

Abstract
The epidemiology of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis depends, among other factors, on the proportion of infected flies in a tsetse population. A wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors seem to determine the ability of a tsetse fly to become infected and to transmit the parasite. In this paper, we investigated the effect of nutritional stress of reproducing female Glossina morsitans morsitans on the susceptibility of their offspring to trypanosomal infections. Adult female flies that were nutritionally stressed by feeding only once a week, produced pupae with a significant lower weight and offspring with a significant lower fat content as well as a lower baseline immune peptide gene expression. Moreover, infection experiments showed that the emerging teneral flies were significantly more susceptible to a Trypanosoma congolense or Trypanosoma brucei brucei infection than flies emerging from non-starved adult females. These findings suggest that in the field, substantial nutritional stress of adult tsetse flies, as is often experienced during the hot dry season, can increase significantly the vectorial capacity of the emerging teneral flies and thus result in an increased infection rate of the tsetse population.

Abstract
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is considered the most important cattle disease in sub-Saharan Africa but its diagnosis in the field is difficult, resulting in inappropriate treatments, excessive delay in treatments and under-treatment. A field study in West Africa investigated the usefulness of anemia in the diagnosis of trypanosomosis. A total of 20,772 cattle blood samples were taken from 121 villages in 3 countries. The average packed cell volume (PCV) of trypanosomosis positive cattle was 23%, versus 28% for negative cattle. In a sub-set of animals, other causes of anemia were investigated showing most of the anemia burden was attributable to trypanosomosis. Anemia was a reasonably accurate indicator of trypanosomosis in the study area, with a sensitivity of 56% and a specificity of 80% and a diagnostic odds ratio of 4.2, the highest of all the signs evaluated (anemia, emaciation, staring coat, lymphadenopathy, fever, lacrimation and salivary or nasal discharge). Having confirmed the usefulness of anemia as a predictor of trypanosomosis, two potential pen-side tests for anemia were evaluated (the first reported trial of their use in cattle), firstly a color chart developed for anemia detection in sheep through visual inspection of conjunctival membranes (FAMACHA) and secondly the Hemoglobin Color Scale (HbCS) developed for assessing hemoglobin levels in human patients by comparing blood drops on filter paper with color standards. In a population of cattle suspected by their owners to be sick with trypanosomosis (n=898) the sensitivity of the HbCS test was 56% and the specificity was 77%, while the sensitivity of the FAMACHA test was 95% and the specificity was 22%. The higher sensitivity but lower specificity suggests the FAMACHA may be useful as a screening test and the HbCS as a confirmatory test. The two tests were also evaluated in cattle randomly selected from the village herd. Using cut-off points to optimize test performance, the HbCS test had a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 62% (n=505 cattle), while the FAMACHA had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 30% (n=298 cattle). Recommendations are made for the appropriate use of these tests in the West African region.

Abstract
Several previous studies concluded that linkage disequilibrium (LD) in livestock populations from developed countries originated from the impact of strong selection. Here, we assessed the extent of LD in a cattle population from western Africa that was bred in an extensive farming system. The analyses were performed on 363 individuals in a Bos indicus x Bos taurus population using 42 microsatellite markers on BTA04, BTA07 and BTA13. A high level of expected heterozygosity (0.71), a high mean number of alleles per locus (9.7) and a mild shift in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were found. Linkage disequilibrium extended over shorter distances than what has been observed in cattle from developed countries. Effective population size was assessed using two methods; both methods produced large values: 1388 when considering heterozygosity (assuming a mutation rate of 10(-3)) and 2344 when considering LD on whole linkage groups (assuming a constant population size over generations). However, analysing the decay of LD as a function of marker spacing indicated a decreasing trend in effective population size over generations. This decrease could be explained by increasing selective pressure and/or by an admixture process. Finally, LD extended over small distances, which suggested that whole-genome scans will require a large number of markers. However, association studies using such populations will be effective.

Abstract
We compared the efficacy and safety of artemether versus Quinine in 67 children from 3 months to 15 years old hospitalised for severe and complicated in the pediatric service of Gabriel Touré's Hospital Children were randomised to receive artemether or quinine. Artemether was given at 3,2mg/kg in day 1 (two times) and 1; 6mg single dose from day 2 to day5) and quinine was administrated at 20mg/kg (attack dose) followed by 10mg/kg every 8 hours until oral drug administration (10 mg/kg every 8 hours). The treatment for artemether lasted 5 days while quinine treatment lasted 7 day. Thirty tree and 34 children received respectively artemether and quinine. Two groups were comparable with baseline characteristics. Cerebral malaria was most frequent in the two with no statistical difference. Seventy height percent in artemether group compared to 82,4% in quinine group. No statistical difference was found between groups regarding parameters such as : Parasitic clearance, thermal clearances, delay of exit of the coma, upsurge, tolerance, and mortality. Artemether is as efficacious and well safe as quinine for the treatment of sevese and complicated malaria.

Abstract
The pathology of African bovine trypanosomosis was compared in Zebu cattle subcutaneously inoculated with three clones of trypanosomes corresponding to the three genetically distinct types of Trypanosoma congolense; savannah-type, west African riverine/forest-type and kilifi-type. All inoculated animals became parasitaemic between 7 and 11 days post-infection (dpi). The savannah-type showed consistently higher levels of parasitaemia and lower packed red cell volume percentages and leukocyte counts than the other two types. The syndrome was also more severe in the savannah-type and led inexorably to death between 29 and 54 dpi while animals with the forest or the kilifi-types recovered from earlier symptoms and haematological alterations after 3 months of infection. By the end of the experiment, the animals self-cured from the forest-type infection and the kilifi-type passed under control. The results of the present study indicated clear difference in pathogenicity between the three types of T. congolense; the savannah-type was virulent while the forest-type was of low pathogenicity and the kilifi-type was non-pathogenic.

Abstract
Inbred Balb/c mice were infected with three clones of Trypanosoma congolense (Sam.28.1, Dind.3.1 and K60.1A) corresponding, respectively, to the three genetically distinct types (savannah, forest and kilifi) defined within this species, for the purpose of comparing their pathogenicity for a better understanding of the epidemiology of African trypanosomosis. Another clone of savannah type, IL 3000, was also tested simultaneously to study a probable strain variation. Both the clones of savannah type were found of extreme virulence with loss of appetite, rough hair, rapid respiration, lethargy, and all mice died within a week. Parasitaemias evolved rapidly to the first peak by day 3-5 post-inoculation without any remission and the course of disease was correlated positively with the prepatent period. The clones of the forest type and the kilifi type were of low virulence with chronic infection and symptoms progressively less patent throughout the infection; only one mouse died in each experimental group.

Abstract
The epidemiology of animal trypanosomosis around Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso, West Africa) benefited a lot in the last years from the progress of molecular tools. The two most used molecular techniques were the polymerase chain reaction for the diagnosis of the disease in cattle and the characterization of the trypanosomes in the host and the vector on one hand, and the microsatellite DNA polymorphism in tsetse flies to study the intraspecific genetic variability of the vector on the other hand. The results obtained in the Sideradougou area during a recent two year survey with these techniques, associated with many other georeferenced informations concerning vector and cattle distribution, natural environment, landuse, ground occupation, livestock management, were combined in a Geographical Information System. This new approach of a complex pathogenic system led to a better evaluation of the risk of trypanosome transmission.

Abstract
Blood was collected from two Sahelian goats, experimentally infected with either a drug-sensitive cloned population of Trypanosoma congolense (IL 1180) or a multiple drug-resistant T. congolense stock (Samorogouan/89/CRTA/267) and incubated at 37 degrees C for 30 min and 12 h, respectively, in the presence of different drug concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 microg/ml blood) of diminazene aceturate or isometamidium chloride. After that, the trypanosome/blood/drug suspensions were offered to tsetse flies (2100 teneral Glossina morsitans submorsitans) through an in vitro feeding system, using a silicone membrane. All tsetse flies were dissected and examined for the presence of trypanosomes in labrum, hypopharynx and midgut 20 days after their infective blood-meals. Infectivity of the drug-sensitive cloned population was already completely abolished after incubation with 0.5 microg/ml of both drugs; however, 13.6-42.2% of tsetse having been fed on untreated blood had developed an infection. In contrast, no significant differences were observed in the infection rates between the experimental groups and their control groups when fed on blood infected with the multiple drug-resistant stock after incubation for 30 min with up to 10 microg/ml of diminazene or isometamidium. In consequence, tsetse appear to be a useful tool in the assessment of drug susceptibility of typanosome populations.

Abstract
Preliminary data from an ongoing epidemiological survey in the pastoral zone of Samorogouan (Kénédougou) indicate the occurrence of multiple-drug-resistant Trypanosoma congolense. Despite frequent trypanocidal drug treatments with diminazene aceturate (Berenil, Hoechst) at 7 mg/kg body weight (bw) at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks, no significant drop in the prevalence of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) was observed. To examine a suspected drug resistance, 20 Zebu cattle, naturally infected with T. congolense and/or T. vivax, were transferred in December 1989 from Samorogouan into a fly-proof stable. Diminazene aceturate at 7 mg/kg bw cured infections of T. vivax, but was ineffective against T. congolense. Likewise, treatments with homidium bromide (Ethidium, FBC) at 1 mg/kg bw and isometamidium chloride (Trypamidium, Rhône Mérieux) at 1 mg/kg bw, respectively, proved to be ineffective. Corresponding chemotherapeutic trials in previously unexposed Zebu bulls and Sahelian goats infected with one primary T. congolense isolate from Samorogouan demonstrated a high level of resistance to diminazene aceturate (7 mg/kg bw in cattle and 17.5 mg/kg bw in goats), isometamidium chloride (1 and 2 mg/kg bw i.v. in goats) and quinapyramine sulphate (Trypacide'S', Rhône Mérieux) at 5 mg/kg bw in goats. The appearance of a multiple-drug-resistant strain of T. congolense emphasizes the urgent need for new chemical substances as trypanocidal drugs and the increasing importance of efficient vector control.
