This present study seeks to contribute to knowledge of eco diversity and density of trypanosomiasis vectors in Adamawa Plateau of Cameroon. Ten Laveissiére traps were pitched in Alme and Faro Game Reserve and checked 24 hours every 4 days from December 2014 to June 2015. An overall scanty catch of 240 flies were recorded due to presence of impregnated Deltamethrin screens. Based on interview of...

A total of 386 blood samples were collected from randomly selec...

Rabbits were infused with 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) of [24Na]Na ion in a 100-ml sodium carbonate solution. Beta particles were detected using a Tennelec Counting System; background counts were 1.6 +/- 1 counts per minute (cpm). Counts for one nanoliter of blood ranged from 22 to 30 cpm. Blood volumes on the mouthparts of tabanids following a 15-sec interrupted feeding were estimated to be 12.5 nl for T...
