A case for a Glossina genome project

Trends in Parasitology, 2005
Given the medical and agricultural significance of Glossina, knowledge of the genomic aspects of the vector and vector-pathogen interactions are a high priority. In preparation for a full genome sequence initiative, an extensive set of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) has been generated from tissue-specific normalized libraries.

Ovaries of Glossina morsitans

Nature, 1960
CORRELATED with the viviparous type of reproduction found in the tsetse fies, the essential features of which were worked out as early as 1895 by Bruce1, there is a great reduction in the number of ovarioles. Stuhlman2 and Roubaud3 studied the anatomy of the female reproductive organs and considered that each ovary consisted of a single ovariole, a ...

Comparative gamma-radiation sensitivity of Glossina tachinoides Westw., Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newst. and Glossina brevipalpis Newst. (Diptera, Glossinidae)

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 1996
The effect of gamma-radiation doses ranging between 10 and 180 Gy on 4-6-day-old adult males of Glossina tachinoides, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and Glossina brevipalpis was studied. Fecundity of their mates was reduced by 95% following exposure to 120, 80-100 and 50 Gy of adult male G. tachinoides, G. f. fuscipes and G.

The Range of Attraction of the Biconical Trap for Glossina pallidipes and Glossina brevipalpis

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1984
Although biconical traps are now widely used for the sampling of tsetse populations, they provide only relative population estimates determined by the fly density, activity and trap response. Studies were therefore undertaken to convert such biconical trap indices into unbiased absolute population density estimates.

Tsetse flies (Glossina)

1993
Tsetse flies belong to the genus Glossina, which are a unique group of insects in terms of appearance, life cycle, distribution and medical importance. There are some 23 species of tsetse, found only on the continent of Africa, south of the Sahara desert.

The meiotic sequence in Glossina morsitans morsitans

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Abstract The diploid chromosome number in those male G. m. morsitans examined is 2n = 8 ± 1 autosomes and the XY sex pair. Meiosis is almost certainly achiasmate and there is no recognizable diplotene or diakinesis. Only the 4 largest autosomes form bivalents (L1 and L2), the remaining small chromosomes appearing as univalents.

Notes on Glossina in Zululand

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1924
Vegetation is the most important factor in determining the suitability or otherwise of an area for tsetse-flies. In all cases Glossina pallidipes occurs in what is known throughout South Africa as “bush-veld,” and, as a rule, “bush-veld” is only to be found at comparatively low altitudes (Plates xxxii, xxxiii).
