  "summary": "Tsetse flies locate vertebrate hosts largely by smell, and odor-baited devices are central to tsetse and trypanosomiasis control. A published electrophysiological survey of the Glossina morsitans antenna defined seven classes of olfactory sensilla, but descriptive clustering cannot reveal how much information these classes carry or which odors they distinguish. We reanalyzed responses of 182…",
