DDT in the Tropics The Impact on Wildlife in Zimbabwe of Ground-Spraying for Tsetse Fly Control
R.J. & Tingle et al
The environment impact of DDT used in ground-spraying operations to eradicate tsetse flies from north western Zimbabwe was assessed in field studies between 1987-1991 and reported in this publication. The effects are reversible, probably within 10-20 years, and are less serious than those caused by habitat loss due to human settlement and elephant damage. In economic terms, the environmental damage cost of using DDT for tsetse fly control was very low.
