The impact of habitat fragmentation on tsetse populations is not clearly understood. Further, fragmentation of the tsetse habitat has important effects on fly population dynamics and has been shown to reduce tsetse apparent densities . This study was aimed at establishing the impact of habitat fragmentation on physiological and demographic parameters of tsetse flies in order … During the study period, from July, 2014 to November, 2015, three tsetse species were collected: overall Glossina swynnertoni (68%) was the most abundant, followed by Glossina morsitans (28%) and Glossina pallidipes (4%).
