Resume-Des experiences de captures faites au piege biconique et avec un captureur sous moustiquaire ont ete realisees dans divers biotopes de la zone forestiere de la region de Daloa en Cote d'lvoire.Parmi les trois especes de tse-tse couramment recoltees, Glossina palpalis et, a un moindre degre, Glossina pallicera, viennent a l'homme. L'homme exerce sur G. palpalis une attractivite variable selon le lieu de capture. Dans les habitats a hotes rares et disperses (galeries forestieres, plantations de cafe et cacao) cette espece attaque frequemment rhomtne qui vient a son contact au cours ses activites habituelles tandis qu'elle le delaisse volontiers au profit du pore dans les villages. Quel que soit le biotope, le piege presente la meme attractivite. Son emploi, a l'inverse de la capture sur homme, permet l'etude simultanee de diverses especes coexistantes qu'elles soient anthropophiles ou zoophiles.La quasi-totalite des tse-tse prise au piege ou sur captureur sont des individus affames, tandis que la proportion de femelles dans les echantillons pris au piege est toujours plus elevee que celle des echantillons pris par les captureurs.

G. palpalis showed vis-a-vis man a clear difference in attractiveness according to the point of capture. In those habitats where hosts were rare and dispersed (gallery forest, coffee and cocoa plantations) this species frequently attacked man who came into contact with it during the accomplishment of his usual activities, whereas in the village it voluntarily abandoned him in preference for pigs. Whatever the type of biotope, the trap had the same attractiveness. Its use, in contrast to captures on man, enabled a simultaneous study of diverse species that co-existed anthropophilically or zoophilically.Although almost all the tsetse taken in the trap or on vector collector were hungry, it was noticed that the number of females in the trap samples was always higher than that of males.
