摘要

In 1908, African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) was first reported on the island of Unguja (Zanzibar), but circumstantial evidence of its presence is reported as far back as 1880 [1]. There are no reports of the presence of human African trypanosomosis (HAT). Tsetse are vectors of trypanosomes, and Glossina austeni Newstead was only discovered in 1945 on Unguja Island, which is a testimony to its elusive behaviour. Subsequent surveys demonstrated that G. austeni was the only species present, widespread over the island but more abundant in the thickets of the eastern part of the island [1]. The annual losses due to the disease, in terms of meat and milk production, mortality of calves, cost of disease control, and the importation of animals to satisfy the demand for protein, were estimated at 2 million USD [2]. Screening of cattle showed an overall trypanosomosis infection rate of 17%, being predominantly Trypanosoma congolense and to a lesser extent T. vivax. Local infection rates at the herd level could be as high as 46% (Supporting Information S1). Therefore, the Government of Tanzania requested assistance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1983 to assess whether the sterile insect technique (SIT) could be integrated with other proposed control tactics for the eradication of G. austeni from Unguja Island. A colony was initiated at the Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Research Institute (TTRI) (now the Vector and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Institute), located in Tanga on the mainland of Tanzania, from pupae collected in the Jozani forest (now the Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park). Flies were originally maintained on goats and rabbits, but the in vitro feeding technique was introduced in 1984 [3]. By mid-1990, the colony had reached a size of 40,000 females, and pilot release studies were implemented that confirmed the feasibility of transporting and deploying sterile males on the island.
