Theoretical Aspects of the Control of Glossina Morsitans by Game Destruction

Abstract

The use of game destruction as a method of tsetse control has always been highly contentious. It is naturally repugnant to wild life conservationists, and at a time when the preservation of wild life resources is a live issue in the context of African ecology, the few tsetse control departments that still practise game destruction are likely to have the full force of public opinion ranged against them.
