Attractive efficiency of chemical products isolated from animals odour for Glossina tachinoides

Abstract

Experiments were carried out in order to identify products, which, in animal odour, are attractive for Glossina tachinoides, by the CRTA, at Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. Phenolic derivatives partly simulated the bovine odour effect. Addition of octenol, although not efficient atone, reinforced this attractive efficiency. It allows to expect the medium-term possibility to use attractant’s traps for waterside tsetse flies.
