Optimizing the colour and fabric of targets for the control of the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes.

Carrying out the regression analysis with reflectance at four wavelengths where tsetse show peak sensitivities showed that reflectivity at 360 nm, 460 nm and 520 nm were highly significant and exhibited the same trend as the analyses with colour bands: catches were negatively correlated with reflectivity at 360 nm (≈UV) and 520 nm (≈green) but positively correlated with 460 nm (≈blue).
