[Comparison of the longevity of tsetse flies (Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, 1850) infected with trypanosomes (Trypanosoma nannomonas congolense Broden, 1904) and uninfected tsetse flies].

Abstract

This preliminary note results from a comparative study on susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides of tsetse flies infected and not with trypanosomes. Trypanosoma infection increases the susceptibility to insecticides as previous study showed it (Golder et al., 1982, 1984). Moreover, infected control flies showed a significant lower longevity than uninfected ones.
