title: [Age group distribution of Glossina palpalis palpalis females in plantations and shallow water of the forest region of Côte d'Ivoire. Relation to the prevalence of sleeping sickness].
abstract: In epidemiologically dangerous biotopes of foci with high prevalence of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), different female age groups (nulliparous, young parous, old parous) were observed in the same proportions. On the contrary, in areas without HAT or in low prevalence foci (< 0.2%), these proportions significantly differed. Female age group distribution in epidemiologically dangerous biotopes could thus be a good indication by which to guide the control of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT).
