Extract

In April 1947, the laboratory stock of Glossina palpalis, R.-D., puparia collected from the Kaduna area suddenly became heavily infested with the pupal parasite, Syntomosphyrum glossinae, Wtstn. Presumably an infected pupa had been brought in from the bush and a few parasites had emerged undetected; it was not until the emergence of their offspring that the mass-infestation was revealed.
