Abstract: A promising strategy for managing tsetse flies, which are the carriers of African trypanosome diseases, is the sterile insect technique (SIT). Just sterile males should be released, so successful sex separation is essential to the success of SIT. Prior to their dispersal, adult tsetse flies must typically be chilled for up to an hour at temperatures as low as +4°C through handling, sex sorting, packaging, and aerial release techniques.
