An insight into the sialome of Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]
Abstract Background Blood feeding evolved independently in worms, arthropods and mammals. Among the adaptations to this peculiar diet, these animals developed an armament of salivary molecules that disarm their host's anti-bleeding defenses (hemostasis), inflammatory and immune reactions.

A model of teneral dehydration in Glossina [PDF]
The results of a long-established investigation into teneral transpiration are used as a rudimentary data set. These data are not complete in that all are at 25 $^\circ\mathrm{C}$ and the temperature-dependence cannot, therefore be resolved. An allowance is, nonetheless, made for the outstanding temperature-dependent data.
