Responses of tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina pallidipes, to baits of various size

摘要: Recent studies of Palpalis group tsetse [Glossina fuscipes (Diptera: Glossinidae) in Kenya] suggest that small (0.25 × 0.25 m) insecticide-treated targets will be more cost-effective than the larger (≥1.0 1.0 designs currently used to control tsetse. Studies were undertaken Zimbabwe assess whether are also for Morsitans tsetse, Glossina morsitans and pallidipes. Numbers contacting m or m, respectively, estimated using arrangements electrocuting grids which killed stunned as they contacted target. Catches G. pallidipes m. at were, ∼1% ∼6% catches large (1.0 targets. Hence, per unit area target was greater smaller target, suggesting not use against species. The results there is a fundamental difference host-orientated behaviour former responsive host odours, whereas latter seem highly visual stimuli.
