Teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans from outbred and susceptible stocks infected with Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense developed, respectively, three and six times higher midgut infection rates than flies of the same stock which had previously taken a bloodmeal. Non-teneral G. m. morsitans remained relatively refractory to infection when infected at subsequent feeds. Differences in susceptibility to midgut infection between teneral flies from susceptible and outbred lines of G. m. morsitans disappeared in non-teneral flies, showing that maternally inherited susceptibility to midgut infection is a phenomenon restricted to the teneral state of the fly. Laboratory reared G. m. morsitans were found to have become significantly more susceptible to trypanosome infection than wild flies from the population from which the colony was derived. The likely role of rickettsia-like organisms (RLO) in potentiating teneral susceptibility to midgut infection is discussed. The addition of the specific midgut lectin inhibitor D-glucosamine to the infective feed of non-teneral flies increased midgut infection rates to levels comparable with those achieved in teneral flies. It is concluded that the peritrophic membrane does not act as a barrier preventing non-teneral flies becoming infected. The relative refractoriness of non-teneral flies suggests that they do not play a significant part in the epidemiology of Trypanozoon or T. congolense infections.
