The Tsetse Research Laboratory.

The Tsetse Research Laboratory in Bristol was opened in December 1962, with the initial objective of developing techniques for rearing tsetse flies on a large scale outside Africa. Its work has, however, extended greatly since then. This article highlights the research undertaken at the Laboratory, not only on the breeding of tsetse flies but also on various aspects of their biology and control.

Principles of the eradication or control of tsetse flies.

The success of attempts to control African trypanosomiasis afflicting both men and animals through the destruction of the tsetse vector depends on a realistic assessment of human and ecological factors in infested regions. The complete eradication of tsetse is at present possible only in limited areas, and elsewhere the advantages of periodic control campaigns have to be weighed carefully against their cost.
