The trypanosomiasis (human african trypanosomiasis, HAT and animal african trypanosomiasis, AAT) is still a life threating disease in some african regions and importunately this endemic disease is neglected, in other areas it has decreased due to an efficient control program by heath program policies still reported.
The South- Kivu province has registrated 556 cases of HAT in 2010 and 2011. The territory of Mwenga being the most affected by 36.33% cases, followed by Shabunda (20.68%), Uvira (11.15%), Idjwi (11.15%), Kalehe (8.09%), Kabare(4.49%), Walungu(3.77%), Fizi(3.23%), and the town of Bukavu (0.71%).
In the year 2011,the Uvira territory reported 427 cases of animal african trypanosomiasis (AATs) in which 328 bovine, 58 caprine and 41 ovine.
Most of spaces of Glossina are commoly located in the East region of the DRC. We can notice: G. palpalis, G. morsitans, G. pallidipes, G. martinii, G. brevipalpis, G. fuscipes, G. vanhoofi and G. tabaniformis.
This study reinforces the need to take the potential role of Trypanosomiasis and their vectors into consideration in strategies to control health in South- Kivu region.

The trypanosomiasis (human african trypanosomiasis, HAT and animal african trypanosomiasis, AAT) is still a life threating disease in some african regions and importunately this endemic disease is neglected, in other areas it has decreased due to an efficient control program by heath program policies still reported.
The South- Kivu province has registrated 556 cases of HAT in 2010 and 2011. The territory of Mwenga being the most affected by 36.33% cases, followed by Shabunda (20.68%), Uvira (11.15%), Idjwi (11.15%), Kalehe (8.09%), Kabare(4.49%), Walungu(3.77%), Fizi(3.23%), and the town of Bukavu (0.71%).
In the year 2011,the Uvira territory reported 427 cases of animal african trypanosomiasis (AATs) in which 328 bovine, 58 caprine and 41 ovine.
Most of spaces of Glossina are commoly located in the East region of the DRC. We can notice: G. palpalis, G. morsitans, G. pallidipes, G. martinii, G. brevipalpis, G. fuscipes, G. vanhoofi and G. tabaniformis.
This study reinforces the need to take the potential role of Trypanosomiasis and their vectors into consideration in strategies to control health in South- Kivu region.

Abstract: (french)
La trypanosomiase (trypanosomiase humaine africaine, THA et trypanosomiase aninale africaine, TAA) est une maladie qui sevit encore dans plusieures régions africaines et cause d'énormes dégats dans les zones où elle reste négliger ou sans politique de contrôle et de surveillance.
La province du Sud-Kivu a enregistré pour la période de 2010 à 2011, 556 cas de THA. La première place est occupée par le teritoire de Mwenga avec 36.33% de cas suivi de Shabunda (20.68%), Uvira (11.51%), Idjwi (11.15%), Kalehe (8.09%), Kabare (4.49%), Walungu (3.77%), Fizi (3.23%) et la ville de Bukavu (0.71%).
Pour l'année 2011, le seul territoire d'Uvira a enregistré 427 cas de TAA dont 328 bovins, 58 caprins et 58 ovins. Dans les régions Est de la RDC, plusieures espèces du genre Glossina y avaient été identifiées, notamment : G. palpalis, G. morsitans, G. pallidipes, G. martinii, G. brevipalpis, G. fuscipes, G. vanhoofi et G. tabaniformis.
La province du Sud-Kivu constitue encore un foyer de réfuge aux trypanosomiases ainsi que ses vecteurs et nécessite donc un système de contrôle et de surveillance de cette endémie.
