A preliminary report on the problem of controlling Glossina in Nyasaland

Abstract

On initiating this investigation my first aim was to discover a small isolated fly area, such as those described as “ primary fly centres ” by Dr. Shircore (Bull. Ent. Res., v., pt. 1, p. 87), with a view to carrying out experiments in the clearing of bush and endeavouring to reduce the numbers of the fly by systematic capture on a large scale.
