Foreword
Despite the considerable and praiseworthy efforts conducted by many,
and the successes which have certainly been obtained up to now, the
serious problem of sleeping sickness, unfortunately, is still present
and preoccupying. In all the Countries where this protozoarian
sickness is endemic, in particular in a good 36 African Countries,
its control bas become necessary and urgent.
After about a century from the discovery of the Diptera of the genus
Glossina as agents of serious pathogenic trypanosomiasis, and despi­
te the immediate recourse to extensively used chemical methods, the
incidence of this sickness remains vast and the problem is of great
actuality.
The aleatori ty of aRpropriate prophylactic methods and of the use of
pharmacological products, as well as the appearance of chemical­
resistant stocks, justify the great recourse to the direct control of
ematophageous vector flies, which are the main active transmitters of
the sickness. Their key role is becoming increasingly obvious.
As is well known, disease transmission limits livestock development
and human health and has a very great economic importance in the
intertropical areas of Africa.
The Commission of the European Communities, which is involved in
research and development of the control of trypanosomiasis in Afri­
ca, felt that it would be extremely useful to give a valid contribu­
tion to the solution of the pressing problem by organising a speci­
fic symposium, with the intention of making more rapid progress in
the struggle against Glossinae. The accent has mainly been put on the
validity of the recourse to integrated control.
The meeting allowed a glimpse of a better application of the results
already acquired, a comparison of the various methods for control of
the Tse-tse fly and a more sui table definition of the strategies
which can be used in the various environments of interest.

This publication collects all the papers given at the symposium, in
which eminent experts from 12 countries and 4 international orga­
nisations took part.
As well as specific themes, which considered the safety and effica­
ciousness of chemicals, their ecological impact, the biological
methods, the sterile insect technique and specific biotechniques
which recourse to insecticide-treated screens or targets, traps,
odour baits, etc., a wide survey of the lines of action under way was
given and future programmes planned by the national and interna­
tional organisations interested in the problem were presented.
The exchange of many and fruitful ideas and the thorougp discussions
stressed the need to develop joint actions and to increase coordina­
tion and cooperation in the struggle against this scourge, which is
still today dramatically alive and a worry.
