Several tsetse control campaigns have been carried out in Senegal. During the 1970s a ground spraying campaign was carried out in the Niayes region (relic of Guinean forest infested with Glossina palpalis gambiensis, Vanderplank, 1949). At the beginning of the 1980s, the chemical control was strengthened by use of screens and biconical traps. As a result no fly has been caught in the region since 1983.
An assessment of the second method, done in Kolda (south of the country), has shown a reduction rate of 98% against G. palpalis gambiensis.
