The presence of researchers, ecotourists or rangers inside protected areas is generally assumed to provide a protective effect for wildlife populations, mainly by reducing poaching pressure. However, this assumption has rarely been empirically tested. Here, we evaluate and quantify the conservation benefits long-term research area in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire. A survey following 225 km line transects revealed considerably higher primate duiker encounter rates within when compared with...
Field studies were done of the responses Glossina palpalis in Côte d'Ivoire, and G. p. gambiensis tachinoides Burkina Faso, to odours from humans, cattle pigs. Responses measured either by baiting (1.) biconical traps or (2.) electrocuting black targets with natural host odours. The catch was significantly enhanced (∼5×) odour but not humans. In contrast, catches electric showed inconsistent results. For both human increased (>2×) trap targets. palpalis, pigs humans numbers tsetse attracted...
Background Tsetse flies of the Palpalis group are main vectors sleeping sickness in Africa. Insecticide impregnated targets one most effective tools for control. However, cost these devices still represents a constraint to their wider use. The objective was therefore improve effectiveness currently used devices. Methodology/Principal Findings Experiments were performed on three tsetse species, namely Glossina palpalis gambiensis and G. tachinoides Burkina Faso p. Côte d'Ivoire. 1×1 m2 black...
Abstract The effectiveness of protected area management is a major concern. In Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, recurrent human pressure challenges the ability law enforcement authorities to protect wildlife. During 2010–2015 we studied implementation in Park determine (1) potential for improvement protection large mammals and (2) minimum patrolling effort needed obtain increases their populations. We recorded presence illegal activities two areas within research (210 km 2 ) rest (5,150 ),...
Palpalis-group tsetse, particularly the subspecies of Glossina palpalis and G. fuscipes, are most important transmitters human African trypanomiasis (HAT), transmitting >95% cases. Traps insecticide-treated targets used to control tsetse but more cost-effective baits might be developed through a better understanding fly's host-seeking behaviour. Electrocuting grids were assess numbers fuscipes quanzensis attracted landing on square or oblong black cloth varying in size from 0.01 m2 1.0 m2....
The turtle population of Taï National Park (TNP), located in southwest Côte d'Ivoire, was surveyed to determine the diversity turtles this and identify their preferred habitats. Data collection carried out from April October 2021 different habitats park using unmarked observation method. This method involved opportunistic sampling during reconnaissance walks for terrestrial species baited traps were used aquatic species. A total four recorded: two (Kinixys erosa Kinixys homeana) (Pelusios...
Abstract African rainforest is severely impacted by human activities, ranging from resource collection, selective logging to fragmentation and scale deforestation. Consequently, large mammal communities occurring therein are strongly modified. Here, we present a study conducted in Taï National Park (TNP), which characterises the spatial distribution differential response of seven duiker species activities. Based on extensive survey data recorded between 2005 2015, used maximum entropy...
Le lac de Buyo en Côte d’Ivoire est un réservoir d’eau artificiel créé suite à la construction du barrage hydroélectrique 1981. Ce exploité pour production d’électricité et permet également aux populations locales pratiquer pêche. Malgré son importance socio-économique, le soumis nombreuses pressions anthropiques qui dégradent ses ressources halieutiques. En effet, ce plan par les communautés riveraines des activités développement ces s’est accompagné l’installation campements pêcheurs sur...
The pharynx of the child may serve as a reservoir pathogenic bacteria, including beta-haemolytic group A streptococci (GAS), which can give rise to upper airway infections and post-streptococcal diseases. objective this study was determine prevalence Streptococcus spp. in pharyngeal samples stemming from children aged 3-14 years Bouaké, central Côte d'Ivoire. Oropharyngeal throat swabs for microbiological culture venous blood seroprevalence antistreptolysin O antibodies (ASO) were obtained...
The Buyo lake, which is the result of hydroelectric dam, exploited by local population for fishing. However, fishermen use non- regulatory fishing gear and techniques that destroy fish stock, leading to a depletion lake's fisheries resource. This study aimed at understanding social factors explain non-regulatory tools fishermen. Social data relating practices were collected from 109 lake in 3 camps, namely PK15, PK28, Derra. Statistical analysis showed young are most numerous represent...

Les nombreux travaux de recherche sur les mammifères du parc national Taï se sont intéressés à sa grande partie sud. L’extrême nord constitué d’un ensemble 11 îles a rarement été investigué. Le présent travail essai combler ce manque d’informations en étudiant la diversité des mammifères, leur période d’activité ainsi que quelques aspects comportement Nakolo et Dafidougou, deux qui n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’aucune recherche. A cet effet, 20 pièges photographiques installé façon...
