Excerpt from A Monograph on the Tsetse-Flies: Genus Glossina, Westwood, Based on the Collection in the British Museum Inasmuch as the genus Glossina is found. Only in Africa, it is certain that in India and in South America other carriers of the Trypanosoma must be at work. At present though it appears that Stomoxys and some other biting flies, not scienti fically determined, have been experimentally shown to be capable of carrying the Trypanosoma of Surra and Of N agana from one animal to another, no constant association of any genus or species of fly with these Trypanosoma-diseases has been sug gested, excepting that Of Glossina with the African Nagana disease.

Domestic livestock in Africa are of importance not only as a source of milk and meat but also as a source of animal traction enabling farmers to cultivate larger areas, with crops providing the staple foods. Trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease transmitted cyclically by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), is arguably still the main constraint to livestock production on the continent, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Sleeping sickness, the disease caused in humans by species of Trypanosoma, is an important and neglected disease posing a threat to millions of people in tsetse-infested areas. Often wrongly thought of as a disease of the past, the prevalence of human sleeping sickness is increasing in many areas. Although alternative methods to control the disease are being investigated, such as immunological approaches, use of chemotherapy or exploitation of the trypanotolerance trait, it is only control or eradication of the tsetse fly vector which will remove the threat of the disease rather than providing a better means of "living" with it. As a result of the economic impact of tsetse-transmitted Trypanosomosis, a large amount of research literature has been produced. This book provides a comprehensive review of this literature. The text is divided into four parts: tsetse biology and ecology, epidemiology, vector control and control of trypanosomosis. The book is invaluable for medical and veterinary entomologists, parasitologists and epidemiologists.
