TL;DR: The apparent density of the indigenous fly population declined rapidly in the last quarter of 1995, followed by a population crash in the beginning of 1996, and time for 6 fly generations elapsed between the last catch of an indigenous fly and the end of the sterile male releases in December 1997.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of insect pest control techniques and their applications in food and agriculture up to and including the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

TL;DR: Genetic control tactics such as the sterile insect technique (SIT) show great potential for integration in such AW-IPM programmes because they are very efficient for controlling low-density populations, which is not the case for most other techniques.

TL;DR: The cotton belt in Mali/Burkina Faso is among the eco-zones with the highest potential for agriculture and livestock development in West Africa and the development of more sustainable and profitable livestock and mixed-farming systems is mainly constrained by African animal trypanosomosis (AAT), transmitted by the riverine tsetse flies.

TL;DR: Long‐term trapping data indicated that the XTBu,XTBuWh and XLPBuWh were three‐ to fourfold more effective in trapping female flies than the LPBuWh.
