The paper estimates life histories of tsetse flies to model how meteorological conditions affect their size, finding that egg and wing lengths are influenced by NDVI and temperature.

The paper develops a modelling framework to assess tsetse fly elimination in Chad, showing that continued sampling without detections could confirm elimination with 99% confidence.

This study compares PCR and microscopy for detecting trypanosome infections in tsetse flies and finds PCR is 1.9-9.3 times more sensitive, identifies species, and reveals cattle and human bloodmeals dominate.
