New trap designs for tsetse (Glossinidae), stable flies (Muscidae: Stomoxyinae), and horse flies (Tabanidae) were tested in Kenya to develop a multipurpose trap for biting flies. Many configurations and colour/fabric combinations were compared to a simplified, blue-black triangular trap to identify features of design and materials that result in equitable catches. New designs were tested against conventional traps, with a focus on Glossina pallidipes Austen and G. longipennis Corti, Stomoxys niger Macquart, and Atylotus agrestis (Wiedemann). A simple design based on minimal blue and black rectangular panels, for attraction and contrast, with a trap body consisting of an innovative configuration of netting, proved best. This 'Nzi' trap (Swahili for fly) caught as many or significantly more tsetse and biting flies than any conventional trap. The Nzi trap represents a major improvement for Stomoxyinae, including the cosmopolitan species S. calcitrans (Linnaeus), with up to eight times the catch for key African Stomoxys spp. relative to the best trap for this group (the Vavoua). Catches of many genera of Tabanidae, including species almost never caught in traps (Philoliche Wiedemann), are excellent, and are similar to those of larger traps designed for this purpose (the Canopy). Improvements in capturing biting flies were achieved without compromising efficiency for the savannah tsetse species G. pallidipes. Catches of fusca tsetse (G. longipennis and G. brevipalpis Newstead) were higher or were the same as catches in good traps for these species (NG2G, Siamese). Altogether, the objective of developing a simple, economical trap with harmonized efficiency was achieved.
在肯尼亚对采采蝇（舌蝇科）、厩螫蝇（蝇科：厩螫蝇亚科）和马蝇（虻科）的新型诱捕器设计进行了测试，以开发一种用于叮咬蝇类的多功能诱捕器。将许多构造以及颜色/织物组合与一种简化的蓝黑色三角形诱捕器进行比较，以确定能带来同等捕获量的设计和材料特征。针对传统诱捕器对新设计进行了测试，重点是淡足舌蝇（Glossina pallidipes Austen）和长翅舌蝇（G. longipennis Corti）、黑腹厩螫蝇（Stomoxys niger Macquart）以及原野虻（Atylotus agrestis (Wiedemann)）。一种基于最少的蓝色和黑色矩形面板以实现吸引和形成对比的简单设计，其诱捕器主体由一种创新的网构配置组成，被证明是最佳的。这种 “恩齐” 诱捕器（斯瓦希里语意为苍蝇）捕获的采采蝇和叮咬蝇数量与任何传统诱捕器一样多，或者显著更多。恩齐诱捕器代表了厩螫蝇亚科的一项重大改进，包括世界性物种厩螫蝇（Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus)），相对于该类群的最佳诱捕器（瓦武阿诱捕器），关键非洲厩螫蝇物种的捕获量高达其八倍。许多虻科属的捕获情况都很好，包括几乎从未在诱捕器中捕获过的物种（维德曼嗜虻（Philoliche Wiedemann）），并且与为此目的设计的更大诱捕器（天幕诱捕器）的捕获情况相似。在不影响草原采采蝇物种淡足舌蝇捕获效率的情况下，实现了在捕获叮咬蝇方面的改进。fusc a采采蝇（长翅舌蝇和短须舌蝇（Glossina brevipalpis Newstead））的捕获量高于或与针对这些物种的优质诱捕器（NG2G诱捕器、暹罗诱捕器）中的捕获量相同。总之，实现了开发一种具有协调效率的简单、经济诱捕器的目标。
