Abstract
The use of artificially sterilized males is suggested as a means of controlling tsetse populations. A mathematical model of a natural tsetse fly population is set up, and the theoretical effect of the introduction of sterilized to males is examined. Numerical results obtained on an electronic computer are presented and discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
