The susceptibility of Glossina morsitans morsitans to Trypanosoma brucei brucei infection was shown to be age-dependent during the first 12 h: the youngest age group (1-8 h after emergence) being more susceptible than the older ones. The susceptibility was enhanced by cooling the young flies to a temperature of 0-5 degrees C for 30 min. Male flies were found to be more susceptible than females. The number of trypanosomes ingested did not influence the subsequent salivary-gland infection rates observed in G.m. morsitans; however, there was a relationship between the number ingested and subsequent T.b. brucei midgut infections in the flies.
