DEDICATED TO
Andre Van der Vloedt
This book is affectionately dedicated to the late Andrg Van der
Vloedt, who pioneered large-scale in vitro rearing of the tsetse fly and
dedicated his life to controlling this plague of mankind. Above all,
he was a man of great spirit, passion, and inspiration.

near Lake Victoria in Kenya. His colleagues were part of a review team
assembled at the International Center of Insect Physiology and Ecology in
1989 to review the insect rearing program and evaluate its role in
developing new pest suppression technologies.
