Extract

Glossina fusca and G. palpalis are prevalent throughout the Western Province of Ashanti, the latter being much the most common species. They both occur in dense jungle, but the type of bush most favourable for them appears to be the scrub and smaller forest which occurs in the dividing line of country between the dense jungle and typical “orchard” grass bush. Scrub of a height of three or four feet upwards appears to be sufficient to harbour these insects.
