(U.R) No insect in the world has A vast part of Africa is almost desolate except for wild game and the tsetse fly, which is the carrier of the parasite trypano- some. This parasite causes sleep ing sickness, which is fatal to stood up under a more concen trated attack by the human race than Africa's tsetse fly. So far,' the tsetse fly has won. But scientists have reported tol the Lederle-Sikorsky medical ex pedition crossing the dark conti nent by helicopter that a new drug is gcing to be used in an effort to get the upper hand over the insect that has made an area of Africa as big as Europe unsafe this year, 147 last year.

Dr. Said Kinany of the Cairo Expedition Medicale said he hoped to arrange tests of the new antibiotic stylomycin as a weap on against' the tsete's bite. In preliminary experiments the new drug has shown hopeful re sults in clearing trypanosomes from the blood. The tsetse fly itself has sur vived the most ingenious of man's weapons. Female Lays Few Eggs The astonishing thing," said Kinany, "is that the female tsetse lays less than two eggs a year not hundreds or thou sands as other insects, do. Yet it resists aTJ, efforts to extermi nate it. "They've tried breeding sterile males so no offspring would fol- jng some females so the more numerous males w.ould harass the rest of the females to death. They've bombed tsetse with in secticides. "They've tried using parasites to kill the tsetse's parasites, and they've even tried changing its surroundings by removing cer tain vegetation. But the tsetse keeps on living," said Kinany. The sleeping sickness carried by the tsetse is believed to be a comparatively new disease for domestic cattle and human be ings. It tends to kill them. But zebras, antelopes and other game native to Africa don't die from it, probably because their spe cies have been exposed to it for hundreds of thousands of years. Opens New Areas Doctors believe any amount of effort to eradicate the tsetse fly is worthwhile for economic and humanitarian reasons. A victory in the fight would open a now impoverished area to economic development. Africa remains a hostile terri tory, health-wise, for the foreign traveler. He must take anti-malaria shots, boil his drinking wa ter, watch his , food carefully, sleep under mosquito nets, and wear boots. Even malaria is getting resist ant to new drugs in some places, but medical science has managed to keep one jump ahead of the disease.- Some West Africans have a form of immunity to ma laria. ' One tropical disease expert told the expedition he under stood that West , Africans were reluctant to go along with schemes to eradicate the menace of malaria. Malaria doesn't both er them, and if the threat of the disease were wiped out it ould just open their homeland to penetration by 'foreigners. They like things the way they are.
