Trapping tsetse flies on water [PDF]
Parasite, 2011 Riverine tsetse flies such as Glossina palpalis gambiensis and G. tachinoides are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomoses in West Africa. Despite intimate links between tsetse and water, to our knowledge there has never been any attempt to design trapping devices that would catch tsetse on water. In mangrove (Guinea) one challenging issue is the

Big Baby, Little Mother: Tsetse Flies Are Exceptions to the Juvenile Small Size Principle
Bioessays, 2020 While across the animal kingdom offspring are born smaller than their parents, notable exceptions exist. Several dipteran species belonging to the Hippoboscoidea superfamily can produce offspring larger than themselves.
