Summary of the blood meal analysis studies by country, tsetse fly species and method(s) used. A total of 12/49 (24.5%) articles were published between 1956 and 1990. Publications increased from 1990 to 2022. Most publications after 1990 reported ELISA or molecular diagnostic techniques. Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Cameroon and Tanzania had 21.2% (14/66), 9.1% (6/66), 9.1% (6/66), 7.6% (5/66) and 7.6% (5/66) studies respectively
