Control of the Riverine (Palpalis) group of tsetse flies is normally achieved with stationary
artificial devices such as traps or insecticide-treated targets. The efficiency of biconical traps …

Background Riverine species of tsetse are responsible for most human African
trypanosomiasis (HAT) transmission and are also important vectors of animal …

Tsetse flies, which transmit sleeping sickness to humans and nagana to cattle, are
commonly controlled by stationary artificial baits consisting of traps or insecticide-treated …

Background Tsetse flies of the Palpalis group are the main vectors of sleeping sickness in
Africa. Insecticide impregnated targets are one of the most effective tools for control …

Here we describe field trials designed to standardize tools for the control of Glossina
tachinoides, G. palpalis gambiensis and G. morsitans submorsitans in West Africa based on …

Background Glossina palpalis palpalis (G. p. palpalis) is one of the principal vectors of
sleeping sickness and nagana in Africa with a geographical range stretching from Liberia in …

Background Tsetse flies occur in much of sub-Saharan Africa where they transmit the
trypanosomes that cause the diseases of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in …

Tsetse traps and targets (insecticide-impregnated screens) function by attracting the flies to
a device that collects and/or kills them. Traps can be used for entomological surveillance …

Targets of black cloth with or without flanking netting panels (ca. 1 m tall× 1.7 m) baited with
acetone (130 mg/h) and 1-octen-3-ol (0.5 mg/h), coated with deltamethrin suspension …

Introduction To evaluate the relative effectiveness of tsetse control methods, their costs need
to be analysed alongside their impact on tsetse populations. Very little has been published …
