Table 5. Prevalence of T. b. rhodesiense by dissection/microscopy, PCR and model inference.
Prevalence of T. b. rhodesiense (%) | |||
Dissection/microscopy | PCR | Model | |
G. swynnertoni | 0 (0–0.085) | 0.010 (0–0.054) | 0.0064 |
G. pallidipes | 0 (0–0.18) | 0.0089 (0–0.059) | 0.00085 |
Prevalence of T.b.rhodesiense in the two main tsetse species in Serengeti National Park was analysed by dissection/microscopy and model inference. Dissection/microscopy cannot differentiate T. brucei brucei and T. b. rhodesiense so is a measure of T. brucei s.l. prevalence. Ninety-five percent confidence limits are shown in parentheses.
