Abstract
THE use of sterile males offers a theoretical advantage over the use of insecticides in insect control1. This advantage is greater in the control of low-density pest species such as the screw-worm2. The sterile male technique has therefore been suggested for the control of tsetse flies, and Potts3 examined the effects of γ-radiation on tsetse fly pupae. Some exploratory work has now been done on the effects of two chemosterilants, ‘Apholate’ (2,2,4,4,6,6-hexahydro-2,2,4,4,6,6-hexa-cis (1-aziridinyl)-1,3,5,2,4,6-triazatriphosphorine) and ‘Metepa’ (tris(1-(2-methyl)aziridinyl) phosphine oxide) on Glossina morsitans.
