Data on awareness of tsetse flies and knowledge of trypanosomiasis were collected in May, 1988, in the Luangwa Valley of Isoka District in the Northern Province of Zambia. One thousand and nine hundred adult males and females were interviewed. There was a high level of fly awareness among all the respondents, regardless of duration of residence and age groups. Malaria was considered as the most serious illness in the community, and hence overshadowed the impact of trypanosomiasis in the community. Disease awareness gravity cannot be attributed to individual's socio-economic levels.
