  1. Fecundity is the average number of larvae produced in every cage divided by number of females per cage. Hatching rate is the percentage of emerging adults from the pupae for every cage (see Methods for details). In the same column, values with different letters are significantly different. For the different days, only D8 and D14 were considered because all the tsetse of D2 were killed by ivermectin treatment.
