ABSTRACT
After the decease of professor Evens, the continuation of a tsetse fly laboratory at the Antwerp State University Center has been uncertain until two years ago, when the author decided to start a new research team for the study of the biology of tsetse flies. This paper reports on the first results, obtained on the following subjects:
An automatic feeding device for rearing tsetse flies.
A tan eyed mutant colony of Glossina palpalis palpalis.
The possible effect of hormones in the diet on the fecundity of tsetse flies.
The effect of ivermectin on the reproduction biology of Glossina palpalis palpalis.
