0 one of various types of African fly that feed on blood and can give serious diseases to the person or animal they bite
Macrogeographic population structure of the tsetse fly population groups 3 and 4 to show more diversities than the others.
The presence of tsetse fly and the semi-arid conditions of the region had historically precluded settlement by large populations.
With the definitions given in the previous section, consider a population where the initial generation consists of one female tsetse fly.
The area-wide sampling of tsetse fly, aided by satellite imagery, is the subject of two separate papers.
The other estimates varied from two to 41 reproductive females and the lesser estimates are biased because tsetse fly generations greatly overlap.
However, there were substantial differences in tsetse fly distribution and density between 1982 and 1996 (figs 2 and 3).
In this paper a simple density-dependent reinvasion model is described and used to estimate tsetse fly populations on the basis of removal trapping experiments.
They are transmitted between mammalian hosts by the bite of the tsetse fly.
