Abstract
A MARKED fall in fecundity of females of the tsetse fly, Glossina austeni Newst, fed on rabbits, was found to be associated with the use of a commercial rabbit diet containing, as a coccidiostat, 75 p.p.m. sulphaquinoxaline and 7.5 p.p.m. pyrimethamine. Contemporary flies fed on goats reproduced normally.
