The polymerase chain reaction was used to characterize the trypanosomes infecting Glossina morsitans submorsitans and G. tachinoides in the game ranch of Nazinga, Burkina Faso, situated near an agropastoral zone. Dissection of 435 tsetse flies, and PCR analysis of 166 infected flies were conducted to assess the epidemiological situation. Trypanosomes of the Nannomonas subgenus were the most abundant in the two tsetse species (80.4 % and 73.7 % of identified infections in G. m. submorsitans and G. tachinoides respectively). T. vivax and T. brucei infection rates were comparable between the two tsetse species. Mature infection pattern identified by PCR differed from overall infections, mainly because T. simiae infections did not mature, whereas T. vivax represented the predominant taxon. Parasitological and PCR results showed some discrepancies ; possibly some typical Duttonella strains could not be recognized by the sets of primers used. The technologies used in this work helped to determine the high trypanosomosis risk in this area.
