Davies-Cole, J.O.A., Olubayo, R.O., Mihok, S. & Mwamisi, P. (1994) Reproductive performance of field-caught Glossina pallidipes on different host bloods. Revue d'Élevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des pays tropicaux 47, 77-79.

The reproductive performance of field-caught female G. pallidipes maintained for 41 days on fresh defibrinated blood of rabbit, buffalo (Syncerus caffer), eland (Tragelaphus oryx), waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) or goat was investigated in the laboratory. Mean puparial weight was highest (37.2 mg) for rabbit-fed flies and lowest (30.8 mg) for waterbuck-fed flies. Mean puparial weights for rabbit, eland and buffalo-fed flies were significantly different from goat and waterbuck-fed flies. The highest number of puparia produced per 90 females was by rabbit-fed flies (83) whereas the lowest was by goat-fed flies (60). Mortality was high (84-99%) irrespective of the group.
