A population of Glossina longipalpis studied in the Southern Guinea savanna zone, Ivory Coast, showed marked differences between non-infected and infected females. Each fly was examined for age, reproductive condition, wear and tear, size and nutritional status. Infected flies were generally and sometimes significantly more active with lower fat reserves, residual bloodmeal and higher residual dry weight. Poorer nutritional condition may be due to energy metabolised by trypanosomes and possibly impaired feeding ability.
在象牙海岸几内亚稀树草原南部地区研究的一群长须舌蝇中，未感染和感染的雌性之间表现出显著差异。对每只苍蝇都检查了年龄、生殖状况、磨损程度、大小和营养状况。感染的苍蝇通常脂肪储备较低、残留血餐较少、残留干重较高，且活动更为频繁，有时差异显著。营养状况较差可能是由于锥虫消耗了能量，也可能是取食能力受损所致。
