Tsetses were eliminated from the island of Zanzibar by releasing sterile males. What is missing for eradication? Determination. Political will to finance is lacking, and political strive is an added obstacle. Of course, the real problem is rural poverty. Note that infected flies usually occur at 1/1,000 flies.

Many other different techniques are also PARTIALLY EFFECTIVE against tsetses like pouron pyrethroids for cattle, BUT they do not control epidemics or give hope of eradication. All techniques require disciplined cooperation through ALL social levels and over vast distances.
