[Pathological evaluation of 4 years of breeding domestic rabbits used as feeding hosts for tsetse flies (Glossina palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank 1949) in Upper Volta]. 1981

A Houchot

For the last 6 years, C. R. T. A. has experimented the sterile male release method for the control of tsetse flies. A breeding unit of 400 rabbits has supplied the blood needed for feeding a colony of 40 000 tsetse females. The main diseases of the rabbit under tropical humid conditions are pneumopathies, coccidioses, affections connected to the great variations of humidity and temperature and side effects as host feeding. Despite regular preventive treatments against pasteurelloses and coccidioses, 50 p. 100 of young rabbits die before the age of 6 months. In view of these data, the rearing of broiler rabbit seems however possible and profitable in tropical humid environment of Africa.
