Chromosoma, 1974
Polytene chromosome maps of the tsetse fly Glossina austeni have been prepared and a description of all the principal chromosome markers is provided. A detailed comparison has been effected between these chromosomes and the polytene elements of G. m. morsitans the only other member of the same sub-genus so far mapped.

A case for a Glossina genome project
Trends in Parasitology, 2005Given 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.

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 ...

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, 1984Although 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.

Pathogenicity of "Crithidia fasciculata" in the haemocoele of "Glossina"
Acta tropica, 1987The mosquito flagellate Crithidia fasciculata produces intense haemocoelic infections following intrahaemocoelic inoculation into 5 species of Glossina--G. austeni, G. fuscipes fuscipes, G. morsitans morsitans, G. palpalis gambiensis and G. tachinoides. All Glossina inoculated with C. fasciculata died between days 4 and 9.

Phospholipases of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1978Abstract 1. 1. Phospholipases of Glossina morsitans during pupal and adult fly developmental stages were investigated. 2. 2. Only phospholipases A and B were detectable, phospholipases C and D were not detected. 3. 3. Phospholipases A and B were affected by factors such as, pH, deoxycholate and Ca 2+ in a way similar to ...

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.

Mating age of Glossina austeni Newstead
Acta Tropica, 1999Before removal from the emergence cage, 12.8% of 141 newly emerged females of Glossina austeni Newstead less than 24 h old were found on dissection to have been inseminated. Likewise, dissection of a sample of sterilised females destined for release showed that 5.43% of 2487 females had already been inseminated while still in the emergence cages.

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).
