Abstract
Topical application of a natural pyrethrum extract on male and pregnant female G. morsitans morsitans resulted in higher mortality for flies infected with T. brucei brucei than for uninfected control flies. Infected males showed a significantly higher mortality infected pregnant females showed a marginally significant increase in mortality. Infected flies are probably less healthy than uninfected flies. The results parallel previous findings using endosulfan as the topical applicant and exclude the likelihood that the results were because of a peculiar effect of endosulfan.
