| Abstract: | Tsetse were collected in the Shikabeta-Mboshya area from Jan. to Nov. 1978, close to a known sleeping sickness focus, by human bait, a moving vehicle, stationary screen traps and searching houses and shelters. Many Glossina morsitans were captured throughout the area and a few G. pallidipes near streams. Tabanidae of 14 spp. [Atylotus agrestis, Philoliche compactus, P. conata, Tabanus copemani, T. gratus, T. par, T. pullulus, T. sugens, T. taeniola, T. unilineatus, Haematopota davevi, H. insidiatrix, H. nitidifacies and H. rubens] were also caught. Trypanosoma vivax infections were found in 8.7% of 519 female and 6.1% of 2228 male G. morsitans, and in 3.5% of 28 female and 6.6% of 121 male G. pallidipes dissected. One G. morsitans male (0.04%) was infected with T. congolense. |
