A review of recent knowledge of the ecology of the main vectors of trypanosomiasis LANGRIDGE WP; KERNAGHAN RJ; GLOVER PEBull World Health Organ 1963[]; 28 (5-6): 671-701In this survey of recent ecological research on the main vectors of trypanosomiasis in those countries of East, Central and West Africa that are not predominantly French-speaking, the authors, after outlining the distribution of tsetse flies and the type of country in which they occur, discuss the direct and indirect effects of climate on these insects-particularly on their physiological water balance and on pupal fat reserves-and their recent advances into new areas. They review the considerable work that has been done on the resting habits and breeding-sites of different Glossina species, knowledge of which is important for effective control, and research on predators of pupae and adult flies and on the feeding activity of tsetse flies. Means of assessing populations and various factors affecting the size and nutritional status of tsetse flies are also discussed, as is the effect on the fly population of artificial changes in the habitat. Finally, a plea is made for a revision of present methods of land use and stock management, if full advantage is to be taken of achievements in fly control.|*Ecosystem[MESH]|*Research[MESH]|*Trypanosomiasis[MESH]|*Trypanosomiasis, African[MESH]|*Tsetse Flies[MESH]|Africa, Western[MESH]|Animals[MESH] |
