Abstract
The low survival rate of Trypanosoma brucei in tsetse flies is interpreted as in part at least the result of an establishment barrier. This barrier appears to be less active in young flies than in older flies. The growth rate of the peritrophic membrane is 1 mm./hour during the first 30 hours after emergence, and also after feeding.Keywords
