Proceedings of the final research co-ordination meeting organized by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria, 6–10 June 1988. The proceedings contain the final reports (15) of scientists co-operating in a five year co-ordinated research programme. Its main objectives were: (1) to provide a research base and support for ongoing and future tsetse control/eradication programmes involving the application of SIT; (2) to develop methods for evaluating and monitoring tsetse SIT campaigns; and (3) to develop strategies for incorporating SIT into national and regional (area-wide) tsetse and trypanosomiasis control programmes. Included in this volume are reports of two successful SIT programmes, one in Burkina Faso covering 3000 km2 and another in Nigeria covering 1500 km2.

Proceedings of a final research co-ordination meeting, Colymbari, Crete, 3–7 September 1988, summarizing the research and development findings of the IAEA’s programme to develop a genetic sexing method for the medfly by which only sterile males would be released. Great progress has been made in medfly genetics, including the development of experimental genetic sexing strains.
