Factors affecting trypanosome infection rate in tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations.
Wide variations in trypanosome infection rate are observed in different tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) populations Environmental factors and features proper to the vector, mammalian host and infecting-trypanosome species acting in the acquisition and development of infective-trypanosome infection in tsetse are examined.
