Senegal to South Africa known as the tsetse-fly belt. ❋ Unknown (2004)
About one-third of the total land area of Africa - some 30 million square kilometres - is known to be infested with tsetse-fly. ❋ Unknown (2004)
I suggested twin columns, crowned by outsize effigies of a mosquito and tsetse-fly; it was those two insects that had prevented alien settlement, saved the country from the racial problems that were bedevilling so many other parts of the Continent, and so let them get their independence first. ❋ Unknown (1959)
The tsetse-fly is found only in tropical Africa and is limited in its distribution there to certain very definite, narrow, brushy areas along the water's edge. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Shows the relation of the tsetse-fly to this disease. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
In a later chapter it will be shown how the tsetse-fly, which is somewhat like the stable-fly, is responsible for the spread of the disease known as the sleeping sickness. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Protozoan parasite, a trypanosome, which is transmitted from one host to another by the tsetse-fly. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
It is definitely known that a species of tsetse-fly, _Glossina palpalis_ ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
From worms he went to Protozoa-Trypanosomes, sleeping sickness, host tsetse-fly -- showed life history comparatively, propagated in secondary host or encysting in primary host -- similarly malarial germs spread by Anopheles mosquitoes -- all very interesting. ❋ Robert Falcon Scott (1890)
He knew well that in the low lands of Equatorial Africa the tsetse-fly and the bad water were particularly fatal to horses; but these difficulties were not to be anticipated on our route, which would soon take us to the high land where the animals would be safe. ❋ Theodor Hertzka (1884)
He would have gone sooner, but “a mad sort of Scotchman [26],” having wandered past them shooting elephants, and lost all his cattle by the bite of the tsetse-fly, Livingstone had to go to his help; and moreover the dam, having burst, required to be repaired. ❋ Blaikie, William G. (1880)
The tame buffaloes of India were taken that he might try whether, like the wild buffaloes of Africa, they would resist the bite of the tsetse-fly; the other animals for the same purpose. ❋ Blaikie, William G. (1880)
Some were cut off by the natives; some, reduced to a mere handful by fever and by the loss of their cattle, -- for they had ventured into the unhealthy lower country to the south-east of the mountains, where the tsetse-fly abounds, -- made their way to the coast at Delagoa Bay. ❋ James Bryce Bryce (1880)
Beira to the edge of the high country -- a transport whose difficulty lay not merely in the badness of the track through ground almost impassable during and after the rains, but also in the prevalence of the tsetse-fly, whose bite is fatal to cattle. ❋ James Bryce Bryce (1880)
Africa, although things will doubtless improve when the country grows more settled, and the marshes have been drained, and the long grass has been eaten down by cattle; for when the tsetse-fly has ceased to be dangerous cattle may come in. ❋ James Bryce Bryce (1880)
All of it, except those lower grounds to the north and south-east which are infested by the tsetse-fly, is fit for cattle; some parts, such as the Matoppo Hills in Matabililand and still more the Inyanga plateau in Mashonaland (mentioned in the last preceding chapter), offer excellent pasture. ❋ James Bryce Bryce (1880)
Owing to the prevalence of the tsetse-fly in the valley of the great river, one cannot take oxen without the prospect of losing them, and must therefore travel on foot or with donkeys. ❋ James Bryce Bryce (1880)
In general the disease is very similar to and belongs in the same general class with tsetse-fly disease, or nagana, of ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
He would have gone sooner, but "a mad sort of Scotchman [26]," having wandered past them shooting elephants, and lost all his cattle by the bite of the tsetse-fly, Livingstone had to go to his help; and moreover the dam, having burst, required to be repaired. ❋ William Garden Blaikie (1859)
