Experiments in Tsetse Control in southern Tanganyika
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
A recent extension of the fly-belt in Songea, southern Tanganyika, has been delimited.
The preferred habitat of the tsetse in this region is constituted by open, short-grassed glades, representing old village sites, in well-grown Brachystegia woodland, with a double-canopied interzone between glade and woodland.
Destruction of this interzone by clearing of the upper canopy will undoubtedly prove effective in causing eradication of the fly.
