Effects of host odour on the behaviour of tsetse
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2011
Abstract
Upwind flight has been elicited in tsetse, Glossina morsitans exposed to host odour and to active components of host odour (carbon dioxide, acetone and 1-octen-3-ol) in a wind tunnel. With the exception of octenol the odours also produce marked kinetic effects in G. morsitans, G. austeni, G. pallidipes and G. palpalis. Threshold concentrations for G. morsitans are in the region of 0.2% for ox odour, 0.01% for carbon dioxide and 400 μgl−1 for acetone.
