Female Glossina pallidipes from biconical trap collections at five localities on the south Kenya coast were age-grouped by wing-fray and ovarian condition, and their trypanosome infection rates determined. From simultaneous application of the two age-grouping methods to 991 female tsetse, 17 reproductive age-categories were recognized. Separation into these categories was supported by a highly significant correlation between estimated age and proportion of tsetse uninfected by trypanosomes. Limitations of current age-grouping methods for tsetse are discussed.
对从肯尼亚南部海岸五个地点的双锥诱捕器收集的雌性淡足舌蝇，根据翅磨损情况和卵巢状况进行年龄分组，并测定其锥虫感染率。通过将两种年龄分组方法同时应用于991只雌性采采蝇，识别出了17个生殖年龄类别。估计年龄与未感染锥虫的采采蝇比例之间的高度显著相关性支持了这些类别的划分。讨论了当前采采蝇年龄分组方法的局限性。
