BACKGROUND: Small targets comprising panels of blue and insecticide-treated black
netting material each 0.25 × 0.25 m have been shown to attract and kill Glossina
fuscipes fuscipes Newstead, 1910 (Diptera: Glossinidae) thereby reducing its
population density by over 90% in field trials. However, their attractive ability
has not been fully exploited for sampling purposes. Therefore, in this study we
assessed the effectiveness of using sticky small targets as sampling tools for G.
f. fuscipes in western Kenya. We also determined the influence of colour on the
landing response of female and male flies on sticky small targets. METHODS: Using
a series of randomised block experiments, the numbers of tsetse flies caught with
sticky small targets were compared with those caught with biconical traps. A
negative binomial regression was used to model fly catches. Odds ratios as
measures of association between the landing response on the blue or black panel
of the sticky small target and the sex of flies were obtained from a multiple
logistic regression. RESULTS: The results showed that sticky small targets caught
13.5 and 3.6 times more female and male tsetse flies than biconical traps (Z =
9.551, P < 0.0001 and Z = 5.978, P < 0.0001, respectively). Females had a 1.7
times likelihood of landing on the black panel than males (Z = 2.25, P = 0.025).
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that sticky small targets are an effective
sampling tool for G. f. fuscipes. Therefore, we recommend the use of sticky small
targets as an alternative to biconical traps for observational and experimental
investigations of G. f. fuscipes.
