The author reviews recent ecological research on tsetse flies in East Africa and Northern Nigeria, particularly in connexion with the flies' sensory reactions, and stresses the importance of an accurate knowledge of their daytime and night-time resting-sites and of identifying the sources of their blood meals in order to elucidate the reservoirs of trypanosomiasis. The epidemiology of the disease is considered in the light of studies of trypanosome infections in host and fly. The control of tsetse flies must be based on the practical application of ecological knowledge by methods involving either a direct attack upon the fly (such as trapping or the use of insecticides) or an indirect attack (such as bush clearing or game destruction to eliminate the fly's habitat or food supply); these methods are dealt with in some detail. The author concludes with a discussion of modern trends in research, and a number of lines of research are suggested.
作者回顾了近期在东非和尼日利亚北部关于采采蝇的生态学研究，特别是与采采蝇的感官反应相关的研究，并强调准确了解它们白天和夜间的栖息场所、确定其血餐来源对于阐明锥虫病宿主的重要性。根据对宿主和采采蝇体内锥虫感染的研究来考虑该疾病的流行病学。采采蝇的控制必须基于生态学知识的实际应用，所采用的方法包括直接针对采采蝇的措施（如诱捕或使用杀虫剂）或间接措施（如砍伐灌木丛或消灭野生动物以消除采采蝇的栖息地或食物来源）；文中对这些方法进行了较为详细的阐述。作者最后讨论了研究的现代趋势，并提出了一些研究方向。
