چکیده
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) infest over 11 million km2 of Africa, and are vectors of Trypanosomosis (or Trypanosomiasis) in both man and domestic livestock. For example, it is estimated that tsetse occur over 7 percent of Zimbabwe and 60 percent of Tanzania and Trypanosomosis has an important negative impact on livestock production in these areas. An odour dispenser is an integral component of tsetse traps. The following technology describes the use of a simple odour dispensers in addition to tsetse traps under practical field conditions.

A trial to control G. m. morsitans with the use of 980 odour-baited, insecticide-impregnated targets was conducted in a 300 km2 area in the Eastern Province of Zambia between 1989 and 1991. The area is highly cultivated and cattle density is high (about 8 cattle/km2). Targets were deployed along roads and tracks. Deployment was restricted to suitable tsetse habitat. The effect of the targets on...
