Des enquêtes longitudinales d’identification des gîtes potentiels de larvipositionont été réalisées au niveau de la galerie forestière, en février 2019 et en janvier 2020. Tous les sites ont été géoréférencés afin de connaitre le statut temporaire ou permanent des gîtes. Les émergences des pupes collectées ont été suivies au laboratoire. Les glossines émergées ont été identifiée sur la base des caractères morphologiques.
