Excerpt
Procedures for rearing tsetse flies at this laboratory were developed w~th Glossina austeni Newst. and a self-maintaining and productive colony of this species has been in existence since 1966 (Nash, Jordan & Boyle, 1968). Jordan & Curtis (1968) and Curtis & Jordan (1970) calculated the productivity that could be obtained from G. austeni under the maintenance conditions at this laboratory, when fed on either goats or lop-eared rabbits. In early 1967, a colony of G. nwrsilans n~orsitans Westwood a was established with pupae from Kariha, Southern Rhodesia. Satisfactory rearing techniques for G. austeni had taken some three years to develop (Nash, Jordan & Boyle. 1968) but. employing the same techniques, the G. n~orsitarc~osl ony immed~ately became self-maintainine-. Since the oerformance of G. morsitans under laboratory conditions shows some differences from that of G. austeni, and owing to the importance of G. morsitans as the principal vector of animal trypanosomiasis and as a vector of sleeping sickness in some areas, it seemed desirable to repeat the productivity calculations for this species. Such information would be helpful if mass-
