“…The methods of rearing Stomoxys devised by Doty (1937) and by Eagleson (1943) have not proved suitable under the conditions which prevail in East Africa, and egg production and adult emergences were insufficient to maintain a large enough stock colony.…”

The importance of certain species of Stomoxys in Uganda, the possibility that these species may be responsible for the mechanical transmission of trypanosomiasis, and the effects of severe biting of Stomoxys on cattle causing loss in milk yields and weight in beef animals, is pointed out.A satisfactory method is described for rearing large numbers of Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) under the conditions that prevail in East Africa.A description of special cages for keeping the adults and for egg production is given, together with a technique for supplying the adults with 0·2 per cent, citrated bullocks' blood.A satisfactory egg-laying and breeding medium contained 9 oz. of dried cow dung, 5 oz. of dried blood granules and 1 oz. of sugar.A detailed description of the construction and working of a constant-temperature and humidity room for rearing larvae and pupae is given, the temperature and relative humidity of the room being maintained at 90°F. and 90 per cent., respectively.The maximum number of eggs that can be introduced into 1-lb. and 2-lb. Kilner jars without causing overcrowding and subsequent under-nourishment in the later larval instars was found to be 200 and 400, respectively.

“…In several laboratories, it has been possible to rear S. calcitrans (L.) under artificial conditions (Doty, 1937;Champlain et al, 1954;McGregor & Dreiss, 1955;Fedder, 1958;Goodhue & Cantrel, 1958;Pan-, 1959;White, 1971), and recently large-scale rearing techniques for that species have been developed (L.aBrecque et al, 1975). Rearing techniques for S. nigra, however, are not found in the literature.…”

A laboratory colony of Stomoxys nigra Macq. was established in February 1976. Techniques were developed to produce 100 000 to 125 000 pupae daily in a larval room of 12 m2. The adults were fed on stored titrated blood and reared at a density of 500 pairs dn nylon cages with sides of 30 cm. The adult room was maintained at 29±1·5°C, 75–80 % RH and LD 14:10. To ensure a continuous supply of ovipositing individuals, 24 new cages with mature pupae were daily put in the adult room (capacity 280 cages) and an equal number of cages containing senile flies were removed. Eggs were harvested on moist khaki cloth below the adult cages, then concentrated in a trough of water and seeded at the rate of 1 ml (10 500 eggs) per kg of larval medium. The larval medium consisted of a mixture of 4 parts by weight of shredded sugar-cane (or elephant grass) leaves, 1 part soft Wheat bran and water at 2 ml/g dry matter. Larvae were reared in trays (45×35×7.5 cm) covered with cloth sacks to prevent invasion by pests. Eleven days after seeding, pupae were separated from the medium by flotation over water. From 2 September 1977 to 8 December 1977 forty trays, each yielding from 2000 to 3500 pupae, were harvested daily.
