Sin embargo, y a pesar de los gigantescos esfuerzos realizados en el siglo pasado, solo existen unos pocos ejemplos en los que la eliminacion de moscas tse-tse ha demostrado ser sostenible, por ejemplo, la eliminacion de Glossina pallidipes Austen de Sudafrica en la decada de 1950, utilizando principalmente el rociado aereo de insecticidas residuales; o la creacion de una zona libre de Glossina austeni Newstead en la isla Unguja de Zanzibar (1994-1997), mediante la integracion de varias tacticas de control que incluyeron la liberacion de insectos esteriles.
