    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les productions larvaires de Glossina pallidipes obtenues avec une alimentation quotidienne et une alimentation quatre jours par semaine [lundi (1), mardi (1), mercredi (1), vendredi (2)], ont été comparées. Le cycle d'ovulation avec alimentation quotidienne a été de 8.9 jours contre 9.1 jours (p=0,01) avec 4 jours d'alimentation. Les longévités, les poids nymphaux, les fécondités totales, les taux d'insémination, les taux de mortalités larvaires et de cycles reproductifs anormaux des deux groupes ne présentaient pas de différences significatives. La comparaison par cohortes d'âges laisse apparaître peut être une meilleure fécondité et une meilleure production pendant les 6 ou 7 premiers cycles avec une alimentation quotidienne. Cet avantage est, cependant, annihilé par les pertes pendant la nymphose. La comparaison des descendants des mouches soumises aux deux régimes alimentaires montre une longévité légèrement supérieure et une production de pupes un peu plus lourdes avec une alimentation quotidienne, par contre il n'y avait pas de différence quant aux paramètres caractérisant la fécondité. Avec alimentation quotidienne sur lapins à 25° et 80% H.R., G. pallidipes présente un rythme de prise de nourriture en relation avec l'émission des larves: la majorité des mouches prennent un repas le premier jour après la parturition; les jours suivants environ 50% des possibilités de s'alimenter sont profité; la fréquence de prise de nourriture chute 7 jours après la parturition.
    Notes: Abstract A 4-day a week feeding regimen for Glossina pallidipes Austen on lop-eared rabbits was compared with a 7-day a week feeding regimen with respect to larviproduction. The ovulation cycle in daily fed flies was 8.9 days; in 4-day fed flies 9.1 days (p=0.01). Except for this slight retardation in larviposition, no ill-effect on the larviproduction could be demonstrated. Also the offspring of flies which were subjected to the different feeding regimens, were compared with each other. Offspring of daily fed flies lived slightly longer and produced slightly heavier pupae than the other group. When fed daily on rabbits at 25°, 80% R.H. pregnant Glossina pallidipes show the following feeding pattern in relation to larviposition: most of the flies take a meal on the first day after larviposition. On subsequent days about 50% of the feeding opportunities are accepted; the feeding frequency drops from the 7th day after larviposition onward.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Afin d'économiser le nombre de mâles à maintenir dans des élevages de masse pour des études sur les méthodes de protection contre Glossina pallidipes, les accouplements multiples des mâles et des femelles ont été étudiés au laboratoire. 7 à 9 jours après leur émergence, les femelles ont eu pour la première fois la possibilité de s'accoupler avec des mâles vierges ou non. La réceptivité lors des accouplements ultérieurs a été testée immédiatement après le premier accouplement. 45% des femelles non inséminées se réaccouplent. Parmi les femelles inséminées, seulement 9% copulent à nouveau dans les 6 h qui suivent le premier accouplement. Les mâles présentés à une succession de femelles restaient avides de copuler, mais la majorité était incapable de les inséminer après la 4ème copulation; la restauration du pouvoir fertilisant demandait une période de repos de 2 h. En laboratoire, les mâles vierges ou expérimentés ne présentaient aucun avantage sexuel les uns par rapport aux autres. Les femelles semblaient avoir été inséminées dans les 30 dernières secondes de la copulation. Aucune différence de productivité n'a été observée quand les accouplements ont eu lieu avec 1 mâle pour 1 ou 3 femelles. Des séries de 3 accouplements successifs, alternant avec des periodes de repos, ont montré que le pouvoir fertilisant ne retrouvait pas son niveau initial. Dans les premières séries, toutes les 3 femelles ont été inséminées, mais dans les séries ultérieures seulement la 1ère et la 2nde. En moyenne, un maximum de 9 femelles était inséminé, marqué par un remplissage de la spermathèque de plus de 50% ou une fécondité supérieure à 0,8. Une réduction efficace du nombre de mâles, au cinquième de celui des femelles à accoupler, est possible en utilisant d'abord 1 mâle pour 3 femelles et ensuite 1 mâle pour 2 femelles.
    Notes: Abstract In the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes Austen multiple mating of females and the inseminating capacity of males was investigated with the aim of economizing on the number of males in mass rearing. Forty five percent of mated but uninseminated females and 9% of inseminated females remated. Virgin males inseminated four times in succession and remained eager to copulate thereafter. Restoration of the inseminating ability took 2 h rest. Experienced and virgin males were equally successful at mating. Insemination occurred during the last 30 s of the copulation and one male inseminated nine females on the average. Females mated in a 1:1 or a 1:3 ♂/♀ ratio were equally productive. The females that were mated in a 1:3 ratio survived better. Series of three successive matings, alternated with periods of rest, showed that the males did not regain their original inseminating capacity. In the first series all three mates were inseminated, but in subsequent series only the first and the second. An efficacious reduction of the number of males to 20% of the number of females to be mated may be possible by using the males first in a 1:3 and subsequently in a 1:2 ♂/♀ ratio.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les productivités de G. pallidipes Austen élevés au laboratoire pendant tout leur cycle à 22, 25 et 28° C, ont été comparées. A 28° C, la vie intrapupale est réduite à environ 23 jours, contre 30 jours environ à 25° C; la survie des adultes est plus brève qu'à 25° C et les mouches ne s'accouplent pas. Les ovaires présentent une rétention d'oeufs et seulement 1/3 des mâles contient des spermatozoïdes mobiles. A 22° C, le cycle est considérablement prolongé, la vie intrapupale durant environ 40 jours. Les femelles s'accouplaient environ 14 jours après l'émergence. Les ovaires présentaient une rétention d'oeufs, bien que moins souvent qu'à 28° C. Les mâles contenaient des spermatozoïdes mobiles. Des expériences avec changements de température à différents moments du cycle ont montré que la stérilité des mâles et des femelles est provoquée par l'incubation de pupes de G. pallidipes à 28° C. La mensuration des ovocytes montre à 28° C un effet nocif sur leur maturation. Des observations sur les testicules dans les pupes révèlent, par comparaison avec 25° C, que l'enroulement des testicules et des spermatozoïdes est retardé à 28° C, tandis que la pigmentation des testicules est retardée à 22° C. Les pupes de G. m. morsitans sont moins affectées à 28° C que celles de G. pallidipes.
    Notes: Abstract The reproductive biology of G. pallidipes Austen was studied at 28°, 25° and 22° C. Experiments showed that incubation of puparia at 28° C resulted in sterility of both males and females. Incubation at 22° C resulted in a reduced fecundity of the females due to egg retention; the fertility of the males was not affected. Comparative studies with G. m. morsitans Westw. showed that G. m. morsitans puparia are less affected by a temperature of 28° C than are G. pallidipes puparia.

    Notes: Abstract The release of N and P from the sediment of two ditches, one (A) dominated by filamentous algae and the other (B) by water-lilies, was estimated by core and enclosure experiments. The release rates for ditch A tended to be higher than those for ditch B. Sediment cores covered by a filamentous algae layer released about 1.5 times more N and P than those from which the layer had been removed. During the incubation of the cores in the dark at 20°C for 2–3 weeks, about 10% of the N in the filamentous algae layer was mineralized. The mineralization could be described as a first-order reaction with a rate constant of about 0.2 d−1. On average the cores of ditches A and B released about 40 mg mineral N and 3 mg.m−2.d−1 soluble reactive phosphorus. Defining the release from the sediment in the enclosures as the net increase of N and P in the water phase and in the vegetation minus the input, a negative net release,i.e. net accumulation of N and P in the sediment, was found over the summer half of the year. The negative values were due to the significant N and P input, resulting from pumping ditch water into the enclosures in order to compensate for downward seepage. From the enclosure experiments a downward seepage rate of 14 mm.d−1 and an external load of about 6 g.m−2 total N and 0.6 g.m−2 total P during the summer half of the year —i.e. 33 mg.m−2.d−1 N and 3 mg.m−2.d−1 P. respectively — was calculated for the ditches. Tentative gross release rates — based on the sum of the positive net release of N and P into the water phase over 1–2 weeks intervals and the net increase of N and P in the vegetation — converted to 20°C and allowing for underestimation of the primary production by a factor of 5, amounted to 58 mg mineral N and 7 mg.m−2.d−1 soluble reactive phosphorus during the summer half of the year. Combining the rates estimated by cores and enclosures and converting them to rates at the mean water temperature during the summer half of the year, the release of mineral N and soluble reactive phosphorus roughly amounted to 40 and 4 mg.m−2.d−1, respectively. The release rates as well as the external load indicated a relatively low eutrophication of the ditches.

    Notes: Summary Migratory behaviour of Ancylostoma braziliense was studied in relation to the structure of the skin in dogs after primary infections. Data were obtained studying serial sections of lateral skin areas 6 mm in diameter, which had been exposed to larvae. The sections were stained either with Harris' haematoxylin and eosin or with P.A.S. or as outlined by Crossmon. Most of the larvae managed to penetrate the skin within 1/2 hr after the application. Hairs did not seem to constitute sites of entry. The larvae moved into the horny layer where edges of keratinized cells provide uneven spots. They migrated approximately parallel to the surface from the horny layer into the living epidermis and continued into an external root sheath of a hair follicle. They could only leave this site via sebaceous glands for the dermis or via apocrine sweat glands for the hypodermis. Tunnels from the epidermis into the dermis, however, suggested that a direct trans-epidermal migration had occurred. The vessels invaded by larvae were hypodermal lymphatic vessels. The first ones were found in these structures 1/2 h after the onset of the exposure.

    Notes: Summary The hairless metacarpal foot pads of six hookworm-free puppies were exposed to infective larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense. Serial sections of the biopts stained with Harris' haematoxylin and eosin showed that the infective larvae are able to penetrate the toughest region of canine skin. Pores of eccrine sweat glands did not seem to constitute sites of entry and no larvae were detected in these glands. Larvae were only observed in the epidermis. The histopathology of the infected skin of the foot pads of the puppies was similar to that in human skin with “creeping eruption” as described by Fülleborn (1927). The biopts appeared to consist of hairy skin as well. In the unexposed adjacent hairy skin of the foot pads, larvae were also observed. They were found in the epidermis, hair follicle systems and dermis, suggesting that the migration from the epidermis into deeper tissue depends on the presence of the hair follicle systems.

    Notes: Summary The lateral skin areas of nine hookworm-free puppies were exposed to infective larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma ceylanicum and Ancylostoma caninum. Serial sections, stained with Harris' haematoxylin and eosin, showed that many similarities exist in the migration patterns of the hookworm species used. However, striking differences were observed between Ancylostoma braziliense on the one hand and Ancylostoma ceylanicum and Ancylostoma caninum on the other hand with regard to the speed with which the penetration occurred. Larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense may travel directly from the epidermis into the dermis — apart from migration via hair follicle systems — a path of migration we did not observe in infections with the other species used. Larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense seem to pass the skin more rapidly than those of Ancylostoma ceylanicum and Ancylostoma caninum. Many larvae of Ancylostoma ceylanicum managed to penetrate the skin 2–6 h after the onset of the exposure.

    Notes: Abstract Adult maleG. pallidipes attempted to copulate with decoys treated with a branched paraffin obtained from laboratory-reared female flies. The compound causing maximal response was isolated and identified as 13,23-dimethylpentatriacontane. The synthesized compound elicited increasing responses with increasing doses. This sex- and species-specific compound was always present in physiological amounts in females, as it increased from 2 μg at emergence to 10 μg per female at 14 days. It was present in wild-caught females from a wide geographical range.

    Notes: Abstract In a study of hospital staff's perceived quality of care and worry, related to the use of medical equipment, a systems approach was used. This included training and user aspects on the equipment, environmental ergonomics, work organisation and psychosocial work conditions. In a survey study, 543 hospital staff members from seven departments with various degrees of equipment utilisation participated. By means of factor analysis, factors which were important to perceived quality of care and worry were determined. Adaptation of equipment and environment and training on the use of equipment were shown to be important. However, several organisational and psychosocial factors turned out to have a still greater impact. In the assessment of healthcare technologies which include medical equipment a holistic systems approach is therefore advocated.
