摘要: Visual and olfactory responses of Glossina fuscipes Newstead to the monitor lizard, Varanus niloticus Laurenti were studied using various catching devices near Lake Victoria, Kenya. Electric nets baited with visible lizards caught more males (×2.1) significantly females (×2.0) than unbaited nets. Lizards concealed in electrified black PVC pipe models, simulating shape size a increased catches tsetse by 2.1 times. Fresh lizard urine dispensed at an evaporation rate 500 1000 mg/h also flies biconical traps, models electric Identification chemical constituents odour could improve monitoring control strategies for G. f. fuscipes, possibly other palpalis species.
