| Abstract: | Scheduled monitoring of tsetse and other biting flies (especially tabanids, Stomoxys niger, Hippobosca variegata and Musca crassirostris) with biconical traps at Tienfala Forest, Mali, from December 1979 to June 1981 yielded more than 14 500 flies. Comparisons of the monthly totals of flies with the monthly incidence of bovine trypanosomiasis in sentinel cattle suggested that transmission by the single riverine glossinid Glossina palpalis gambiensis accounted for most if not all transmission. Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei were identified in tsetse flies. The data obtained suggested that human decisions had contributed to the disease problem and that viable solutions to the problem existed. |
