TL;DR: The cytogenetic peculiarities of Lepidoptera that should be considered in the development and application of SIT for a particular pest species are summarized and the principle of derived technology based on inherited sterility (IS) is presented.

TL;DR: Assessment of the effect of long distance transport of sterile male Glossina palpalis gambiensis pupae on adult male fly yield showed that the temperature inside the parcel must be controlled around 10°C with a maximal deviation of 3°C to maximize the male yield.

TL;DR: Potential re-invasion of flies from adjacent river basins will have to be prevented by establishing buffer zones between the Mouhoun and the other river basin(s), in the framework of the PATTEC (Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Eradication Campaign) eradication project that is presently targeting the northern part of the Mouhl River Basin.

TL;DR: This paper presents the parasitological and serological prevalence data of AAT in cattle residing inside and outside the tsetse-infested areas of the target zone prior to the control effort and indicates that cyclical transmission of the parasites by t setse was predominant over mechanical transmission by numerous other biting flies present.

TL;DR: In sub-Saharan Africa, the least developed countries are among the most developed in the world and hunger and poverty remains widespread in most of the rural communities as mentioned in this paper. But the lack of infrastructure is a major challenge.
