Abstract

In a study to determine the costs of tsetse trapping in terms of construction materials, labour, transport and maintenance, two hundred forty-six traps used to control Glossina pallidipes in an area of 100 square kilometres at Nguruman, Kenya were evaluated from November 1990 to July 1992. The total cost of materials, labour and servicing per trap per year, was US$ 30.6 which, at that time was equivalent to 1071 Kenya shillings.

Résumé

L'étude a été porté sur l'évaluation des coûts du piège à mouche tsé-tsé en termes de construction, de main-d'oeuvre, du transport et de l'entretien. Deux cent quarante six pièges utilisés dans la lutte contre Glossina pallidipes sur une superficie de 100 kilomètres carrés, à Nguruman au Kenya ont été évalués de novembre 1990 à juillet 1992. A cette époque, le coût total des matériels, main-dOeuvre et entretien s'élevait à 30,6 US$, soit l'équivalent de 1071 shillings kenyans, par an ef par piège.
