Efficacy of Electrocuting Devices to Catch Tsetse Flies (Glossinidae) and Other Diptera

With a view to refining studies of tsetse fly behaviour, we used a catch method, in the field in Zimbabwe, to assess and improve the efficiency of 0.5m2 electrocuting grids commonly used to sample tsetse that collide with netting while in flight or which alight on cloth.
